Maybe you feel like you're alone making major decisions or struggling through transitions, changes, and challenges. And if so, you might wonder, “Where is God?” Is God on the sidelines, judging how well you're doing or does God jump in and do it all for us? God cares about this world and God has chosen to change individual people, to give them life by the Holy Spirit, so that as God's people, the church can be the change that God wants to bring about in this world.   God empowers, energizes, puts in us new desires and new abilities, but it's not coercive.  God has begun a work in us and God will continue that work and at the same time, Paul repeatedly encourages the Philippian Christians to choose to live the way God is calling them to live.

The renovation game has changed dramatically for property investors. What was once an affordable update has transformed into a complex puzzle of costs, regulations, and unexpected challenges. We dive deep into the surprising reality that kitchen renovations now cost substantially less than bathrooms - a complete reversal from traditional renovation economics.Kitchens have become the renovation sweet spot for landlords. At $15,000-$22,000, a modern kitchen with DIY-friendly options like Bunnings' Kaboodle range can transform a dated apartment within two weeks. These renovations yield impressive returns, potentially boosting weekly rent by $50-$75 and delivering a 10-15% ROI - far outperforming standard property investment returns. Tenants gravitate toward updated kitchens, valuing increased bench space, modern appliances, and fresh aesthetics that elevate the entire living space.Meanwhile, bathrooms have become renovation nightmares. With waterproofers and tilers seemingly disappearing "into caves," costs have skyrocketed to $30,000+ even for small spaces. We explore game-changing alternatives like "soft bathroom renovations" - strategic updates including tile regrouting, new fixtures, and improved lighting that refresh without triggering strata approvals or breaking budgets. Learn why keeping services in their original locations saves thousands and how updated properties attract quality tenants who stay longer, maximizing your investment returns in today's challenging market. Ready to renovate smarter? This episode provides your blueprint for renovation success.

The salient point of today's discourse revolves around the notable shift in consumer behavior, wherein homeowners are increasingly opting for renovation over relocation. Recent research elucidates that this trend is primarily driven by rising interest rates and fluctuating housing prices, prompting individuals to invest in home improvements rather than undertaking the challenges of moving. This paradigm shift is generating significant repercussions within the furniture industry, as homeowners seek to enhance their living spaces by acquiring new furnishings that complement their renovation efforts. Consequently, this trend presents an invaluable opportunity for retailers and manufacturers to engage in targeted marketing and product development aligned with these home improvement projects. Furthermore, the episode delves into the implications of e-commerce, consumer financing options, and the necessity for retailers to adopt innovative strategies to remain competitive in an evolving marketplace.The contemporary landscape of the furniture industry is witnessing a profound shift, as homeowners increasingly favor renovation over relocation, a trend spurred by the current economic climate characterized by rising interest rates and fluctuating housing prices. This episode delves into the implications of this phenomenon, elucidating how it catalyzes a burgeoning demand for new furniture as individuals invest in enhancing their living spaces. The dialogue emphasizes the strategic opportunities this trend presents for retailers and manufacturers, highlighting the necessity for targeted marketing and innovative product development that aligns with contemporary home improvement projects. As homeowners reassess their living environments, the appetite for outdoor furniture, multifunctional pieces, and home office setups has surged, compelling industry professionals to collaborate with home improvement services and interior designers. Consequently, the episode advocates for the creation of bundled offerings and renovation-focused promotions, enabling retailers to effectively tap into the expanding market of homeowners eager to transform their residences without the burden of relocation.Takeaways: The increasing inclination of homeowners towards renovation rather than relocation underscores a significant shift in consumer behavior, particularly amidst rising interest rates and fluctuating housing prices. Furniture retailers must seize the opportunity presented by the home renovation trend by developing targeted marketing strategies and product lines that align with consumers' evolving needs. The integration of artificial intelligence and social commerce platforms is revolutionizing the furniture retail landscape, enhancing customer engagement and sales performance for those who adapt quickly. The adoption of Buy Now, Pay Later options is proving advantageous for retailers, as these flexible payment plans are increasingly appealing to budget-conscious consumers making significant purchases.

“The purpose in a man's heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.” - Proverbs 20:5Man's ultimate purpose is to glorify God, but deciding how to do that can be challenging. Sometimes, we need help from a trusted advisor. I'll discuss that today with Rachel McDonough. Rachel McDonough is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®), and a regular Faith & Finance contributor.The Cultural Challenge: Are We Asking the Right Financial Questions?Money is more than just a tool—it's a reflection of our values, priorities, and ultimately, our faith. But how do we ensure that our financial decisions align with God's purpose for our lives?As believers, we all want to honor God with the resources He has entrusted to us. However, navigating financial decisions can be overwhelming—especially when culture pushes us in the opposite direction.Traditional financial planning often starts with one simple question: “What are your financial goals?”At first glance, that sounds logical. But the problem? It starts with us—our dreams, our desires—rather than seeking God's plan first.Many people feel pressure to already have their financial goals figured out. If they don't, they may experience anxiety, uncertainty, or even guilt. Instead of feeling liberated, they feel like they're failing.So, how do we shift from “What do I want?” to “What does God want for me?”The Heart of Financial Planning: Start with Your ValuesTake a step back before setting financial goals. Instead of ready, aim, fire—we should first seek to understand:Our values – What matters most in this season of life? Our priorities – How should we allocate resources to reflect these values? God's purpose – What is He calling us to pursue financially?As Paul David Tripp once said:“The thing that is your treasure will control your heart, and what controls your heart will control your words, your behaviors, your choices, and your decisions.”If we start with financial goals before examining our hearts, we risk aiming at the wrong target.A Real-Life Example: Aligning Values with Financial DecisionsRachel shared a story about a couple who initially sought financial advice because they wanted to:Build a cabin on a parcel of land they owned. Renovate part of their house to improve their living space.Sounds reasonable, right? But as they went through a values discovery exercise, something surprising happened.The wife valued respect and security, yet she was deeply stressed in her job, to the point of tears during their financial planning session. The husband valued loyalty and family, which made watching his wife suffer painful for him.After reflecting on their true priorities, they realized now was not the right season for a cabin. Instead, they needed a financial plan that allowed the wife to:Move into a less stressful job (even if it meant earning less) Find financial stability while navigating a large inheritance Postpone the cabin to a future season once their immediate needs were metThe outcome? A plan that prioritized peace, purpose, and financial security—without regret.The Role of a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®)Many financial advisors focus solely on wealth accumulation and goal-setting. But a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®) brings a biblical perspective, asking questions like:“What do you think God is calling you to pursue in this season?” “Do you need more income or more impact?” “What does surrender look like in your financial life?”This kind of financial planning frees people from guilt and regret. Instead of chasing worldly success, they begin pursuing God's best for their lives.Aligning values with financial goals isn't just a nice idea—it requires practical steps. In the case of Rachel's story from earlier, their financial strategy included:The wife transitioning to a lower-stress, lower-income job. The husband re-entering the workforce to ease financial pressure. Using their inheritance wisely to cover healthcare costs before Medicare kicks in. Delaying the cabin goal until it was a better fit for their priorities.Their financial decisions became intentional—not just reactionary.The Fruit of Biblical Financial PlanningWhen people approach financial decisions with a heart of surrender, the results are transformational. The fruit we see in people who adopt this mindset is:Freedom from regret Peace and joy in their financial journey Stronger relationships as they align finances with God's planYou're not alone if you've ever felt uncertain about your financial goals. Instead of feeling pressured to have it all figured out, take a step back and ask:What are my core values? What is God's purpose for my finances? Am I making financial decisions out of trust or fear?And most importantly:How can my money reflect what's most important to me as a Christ-follower?If you're looking for a biblical approach to financial planning, consider working with a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®)—a professional trained to help you navigate money through the lens of faith and stewardship.
