OUR SECOND FINAL EPISODE: After over a month (hell, almost two months), and a lot of discussion and, yes, even one failed attempt, our hosts return! However, they bring with them the news that this episode will be the final regular episode of A Podcast [ , ] For All Intents and Purposes. After eleven years, priorities have changed and, you know, things have changed that caused our hosts to reconsider their priorities and take inventory. It isn't good-bye, necessarily. They have the tools to reconvene whenever they want, but it won't be on a regular schedule. So, our hosts make their last official recording a chance to reflect, discuss, and confirm that they never became more than your 14th source for all nerdy and geeky news and discussion. WEEK IN GEEK: Our hosts decide to end as they began with their respective Weeks in Geek. This week, Andrew finally begins watching season two of the Disney+/Star Wars show, Andor, while D. Bethel gets lost in the beauty and poetic carnage of Ghost of Yotei. FINAL THOUGHTS: This show has been a genuine product of two old friends needing an excuse (before realizing they didn't need an excuse) to hang out every week and have overly-thoughtful conversations about nerdy and geeky things. However, our road has been paved by a variety of souls that were kind enough to lend their personalities and discussion to our uploads. As things draw to a close, we would like to thank the following (in no particular order): Taylor Katcher, Kyrun Silva, Jake Waltier, Luke Terpeinen, Nicole Jekich, Jacqueline Nolis, André La Roche, Elijah Kaine, Josh Tobey, Mary Traverse, and even more friends who have joined our ranks along the way. Thank you for helping us build our voice within the nerd discourse and for allowing us to platform yours along the way.

Why do so many Christians want to give more—but feel like they can't?Most of us want to be generous, but there are often barriers—spiritual, financial, or even emotional—that hold us back. Today, Ron Blue joins us to unpack five key reasons why Christians don't give more, and how we can begin climbing toward greater generosity.Ron Blue is a financial teacher, author, and co-founder of Kingdom Advisors. He has helped countless Christians apply biblical wisdom to their finances and is best known for his bestselling book, Master Your Money: A Step-by-Step Plan for Financial Contentment.Five Barriers to Generosity—and How to Overcome ThemGenerosity is one of the greatest marks of spiritual maturity, yet many Christians find themselves wanting to give more but feeling unable to do so. Over the years, most believers face five primary barriers to generosity. These form a kind of “pyramid,” with each level building on the one below it. The journey toward greater giving begins with the heart and ends with intentional planning.1. Spiritual Condition: The Foundation of GenerosityBefore generosity ever shows up in our bank accounts, it begins in our hearts. When we grasp who God is, who we are, and the grace that has been extended to us, generosity naturally flows from that understanding.The more we understand God's ownership and our role as stewards, the more we want to give. Spiritual maturity is the foundation—without it, our giving will always feel like an obligation instead of an act of worship.2. Financial Health: Creating Margin to GiveEven when our hearts are in the right place, poor financial habits can make generosity difficult. Many believers simply can't give more because they're weighed down by debt, overspending, or disorganization.It often takes time—sometimes even years—to align our finances with our convictions. That might mean getting out of credit card debt, restructuring a business, or learning to live within our means. When we get our financial house in order, we create margin for generosity to flourish.3. Vision: Seeing Where God Is WorkingPeople don't give to spreadsheets or buildings—they give to vision. When we can picture the impact of our giving, we're motivated to invest more deeply.A clear vision fuels generosity. Ask yourself: Where has God stirred my heart? What Kingdom work do I feel most passionate about? When we see how our resources can change lives—whether feeding children, funding missions, or supporting local ministries—we begin to give with joy and purpose.4. Community: Encouragement from OthersGenerosity rarely happens in isolation. We need relationships that encourage us to live open-handedly. When we surround ourselves with generous people—friends who talk about giving, pray about giving, and celebrate giving—we're inspired to do the same.Scripture reminds us that we are to “spur one another on toward love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24). Community reminds us that generosity isn't just an individual act—it's part of how the body of Christ functions together.5. Planning: Giving with IntentionFinally, generosity grows through intentional planning. I've seen it over and over in my work as a financial planner: when people create a plan for their giving, their generosity increases dramatically—sometimes fivefold.A plan brings clarity and purpose. It helps you set a “finish line” for lifestyle and accumulation so you can redirect more toward eternal purposes. Without a plan, even well-intentioned believers often give sporadically or reactively. With one, generosity becomes a consistent and joyful part of life.Moving Toward Greater GenerosityThese five layers—spiritual condition, financial health, vision, community, and planning—build upon each other. Each represents a step toward living and giving as God intended.So, which one are you ready to work on today?The journey toward generosity isn't about guilt—it's about grace. As we align our hearts, habits, and plans with God's purposes, we discover the joy of giving that truly reflects His character.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm considering a reverse mortgage and wondering—if I were to get one—whether my creditors could come after the proceeds.How can younger people today start building wealth? What are some practical strategies to grow financially—and how can we stay positive and motivated when so many in our generation don't seem to think that way?I run a small architecture business, but my income has been inconsistent over the past few years. My financial advisor suggested I take a salaried job to help pay down debt and stabilize our family's finances. If I do that, how should I communicate with a potential employer that I'd like to keep my business on the side—and is that even wise to do?I've been researching digital currencies and the broader move toward electronic money. With more people, including political figures, showing support for it—and with lower fees and more direct transactions—what's your take on where this is heading?My husband is 65 and retired, and I'm 56 and still working. I've heard that a spouse can collect half of the other's Social Security benefit once they reach a certain age. Is that true, and how does it work?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Open Hands FinanceWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

This message takes us deep into the heart of what it means to live as God's people in a world that often mirrors ancient Babylon. Through the lens of Jeremiah's famous prophecy and Daniel's remarkable life, we're challenged to understand that our spiritual authority today far exceeds what even the greatest prophets of old possessed. The core revelation centers on Jeremiah 29:11—those familiar words about God's plans for us—but places them in their true context: spoken to captives in Babylon who had lost everything yet were promised restoration. We discover that God positioned Daniel, a young captive, to influence five different administrations and literally change the course of history. The message unveils how spiritual forces operate behind earthly powers, reminding us that Michael the archangel battled 21 days against the prince of Persia while Daniel prayed. But here's the transformative truth: through Christ's victory on the cross, we now possess authority that Daniel never had. We can bind and loose, we hold the keys to the kingdom, and the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives within us. This isn't about religious activity—it's about recognizing that we are the remnant called to rise in these final days, positioned strategically in our workplaces, families, and communities to advance God's kingdom one faithful decision at a time.

What if the very setbacks and betrayals you've endured were being used by God to accomplish something far greater than you could imagine?

I went VIRAL! I've been talking about entrepreneurship and the alcohol-free lifestyle on social media for years, but recently, something I said hit a deep chord: The universe hand-selected you to ditch alcohol because of how massive your purpose on this planet is.  Something in those words clicked for thousands of women — and honestly, I get it.

Second Amendment advocate Mark Overstreet, the former Senior Research Coordinator of the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action, says President Donald Trump should direct the BATFE to withdraw its 1989 and 1998 interpretations of federal law that allows for bans on many foreign-produced rifles and shotguns in favor of an interpretation that recognizes the Second Amendment's fundamental importance of serving as a check on tyranny.

Part 2 of the conversation around church planting vs multisite church: Are multi-site campuses and church plants really the same thing? Pastor Andrew and Pastor Jonathan Yarborough dive deep into the crucial differences between campus planting and church planting strategies. Using the starfish vs spider analogy, they explain the critical differences with a "both, and" mindset, not an "either, or"; and the "magnet effect" that keeps churches from multiplying.Conference: https://breakinggrowthbarriers.com/conferenceWebsite: ⁠https://breakinggrowthbarriers.com⁠Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/breakinggrowthbarriersFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/breakinggrowthbarriersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/breakinggrowthbarriers

Paul lifts our eyes to the "Father of mercies and God of all comfort," showing that trials are not wasted. First, God comforts us in every affliction to make us able ministers who pass that same comfort to others—His consolation is meant to flow through us, not stop with us (vv.3–7). Second, God uses crushing seasons to kill self-reliance and teach reliance on "the God who raises the dead" (vv.8–11). Past deliverances fuel future hope; God often comforts by means (e.g., Titus' arrival and report), and He multiplies help through the prayers of many. View suffering as both ministry training and dependence training.

What's the difference between launching a multi-site campus and planting a church? We explore why we believe multi-site campuses serve as growth strategies while church plants function as multiplication strategies [unSeminary], and why treating them as identical could limit your church's long-term kingdom legacy. We look at the "multiply everything" principle and how it prepares churches for both campus expansion and church planting success. Perfect for pastors, church planters, and ministry leaders navigating growth and multiplication strategies.Conference: https://breakinggrowthbarriers.com/conferenceWebsite: ⁠https://breakinggrowthbarriers.com⁠Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/breakinggrowthbarriersFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/breakinggrowthbarriersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/breakinggrowthbarriers
