In this conversation, Mark explains that "we often build our lives on things we are certain about that simply are not true." He describes how "we don't actually see the world… we see screens of how we think the world is." He explains that these screens create "a double paradox" shaping what we think is safe, what we think is risky, and how we choose to act. Mark describes the difference between someone who sees a large employer as stability versus an entrepreneur who sees it as danger, saying "which screen is right? Well, it depends on which screen is going to give you more power in life." He talks about choosing the entrepreneurial screen because "I detested the idea of being a piece of a cog in a major machine." He explains how a "victim type screen" once took over his thinking when he was diagnosed with osteonecrosis: "I was catastrophizing… I went into a very negative spiral." He recalls seeing children receiving chemotherapy and realizing "Mark, you are really self-absorbed… You don't get to live a life without pain and challenge." That shift, "Why me?" to "Why not me?", transformed everything for him. Mark also talks about the mindset required to reinvent yourself: "No matter what I succeeded in in the past entitles me to win in the future." He shares that he must "redo it every three years or reimagine it and transform it," because "if I'm not transforming my business, other people are going to be working to transform my business out of it." He discusses fear and avoidance: "You can be afraid of having the conversation… but what you cannot do is ignore it." He explains how ignoring problems is the beginning of decline. Mark then explores how his business model evolved when he realized that people with millions of dollars were still "miserable, always afraid… always complaining" while others with far less were happy. This led him to see that money alone is not the source of well-being. He dismantles the three ideas he was taught early in his career: "stock picking," "market timing," and "track record investing", calling them "completely bankrupt." He explains that "the market is very efficient, very random," and that "stock picking, market timing and track record investing didn't work." Mark describes how identity and mission changed for him over time, how screens shape action, and how transformation requires confronting fear, discarding false certainty, and letting go of entitlement. He closes by saying he hopes never to retire because "stopping is one of the worst things you can do for your future." He explains that purpose, planning, and creating are what allow people to thrive.

Israel has said 37 aid organisations will be barred from operating in Gaza, unless they provide information on Palestinian staff. Médecins Sans Frontières is among that 37 and has warned that hundreds of thousands of people will be cut off from medical assistance. Jim Muir, Middle East commentator, spoke to us about the state of affairs in Gaza.

In this second year-end reflection, I get blunt about a lesson that's taken years to fully grasp — but in 2025, it became undeniable: the white evangelical movement in America is utterly depraved. Not just theologically. Morally. Culturally. Publicly. From Donald Trump's ongoing abuses to the disgraceful “revival” at Charlie Kirk's funeral, 2025 made it crystal clear: this movement is no longer about Christ — it's about power, whiteness, and control. And it's dragging the name of Jesus through the mud.

Top Stories for December 30th Publish Date: December 30th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, December 30th and Happy Birthday to Sandy Koufax I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Georgia State Parks offering First Day Hikes You can ring in the New Year early with your kids at Stone Mountain Park Registration for Georgia Rivers spring events now open All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia Mall of Georgia - Sugar Hill Ice Skating Rink STORY 1: Georgia State Parks offering First Day Hikes Kick off 2026 with a breath of fresh air—literally. Georgia State Parks are bringing back their First Day Hikes tradition on New Year’s Day, offering guided adventures for everyone, from casual strollers to hardcore hikers. Bonus? You’ll snag a First Day Hikes sticker to prove you started the year on the right foot. At Indian Springs, choose between a three-mile trek at 10 a.m. or a laid-back “Easy Breezy” hike at 1 p.m. High Falls? Two hikes, coffee, Chick-fil-A, and even a K-9 demo. Amicalola Falls adds a Birds of Prey show. Parking fees apply—call ahead to register! STORY 2: You can ring in the New Year early with your kids at Stone Mountain Park Stone Mountain Park’s got your New Year’s plans covered—especially if you’ve got kids (or just don’t want to stay up ‘til midnight). On Dec. 31, they’re doing an early countdown at 9 p.m., complete with fireworks and even snow. The fun kicks off at noon with Stone Mountain Christmas attractions, but the real magic happens at 8 p.m. Princess Aurora’s Light Spectacular and the Christmas Drone Show take center stage—this year with fire drones. Yep, drones that shoot fireworks. Think Santa’s sleigh launching sparks. Afterward? Music, dancing, and that 9 p.m. countdown. Who needs midnight anyway? STORY 3: Registration for Georgia Rivers spring events now open Ready to paddle into 2026? Georgia Rivers just dropped its adventure-packed schedule, and it’s a dream for river lovers—whether you’re a seasoned kayaker or just figuring out which end of the paddle goes in the water. From the Okefenokee Swamp to the Toccoa’s whitewater, there’s something for everyone: weekend camping trips, kayak fishing classes, even beginner-friendly “Kayaking 101” sessions. Oh, and don’t miss the America250 trips—history lessons on the water. Scholarships are available, too, because everyone deserves a chance to explore Georgia’s rivers. Check out the full lineup at garivers.org and start planning your next adventure. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets STORY 4: In Gwinnett, it’s hard to afford housing on less than $75,000 a year Jeannie Johnson works two full-time jobs. At 54, she’s still chasing the dream most people take for granted—owning a home. “I’ve never bought a house. Never even had a brand-new car,” she says, standing on the back porch of her rented townhome in Lawrenceville. Her kids, grown but not gone, help with rent and groceries. Anayah, her daughter, once thought about moving out—until she saw the prices. “She said, ‘Yeah, I think I’ll stay home a little longer.’” Rent’s nearly doubled in recent years, from $785 to $1,485. Saving? Forget it. “Maybe someday,” Jeannie says. STORY 5: Lanier Islands Resort offers two ways to ring in the New Year Looking for a New Year’s Eve plan that works for everyone? Lanier Islands Resort might just have you covered. Whether you’re chasing a family-friendly evening or a grown-ups-only Havana Nights bash, they’ve got something for both vibes. For the kids (and parents who’ll probably be in bed by 10), there’s a celebration at Game Changer—think arcade games, duckpin bowling, axe throwing, and a sparkling cider toast at 7 p.m. Free to get in, but activities are pay-as-you-go. Meanwhile, the 21+ crowd can party in style with cocktails, a gourmet buffet, live music, and a champagne toast at midnight. Break 3: DTL HOLIDAY INTERVIEW - MARK BERENS - BERENS FROZEN CUSTARD STORY 6: Gwinnett County Public Library earns North American Innovation award for Hooper-Renwick Themed Library The Gwinnett County Public Library just snagged a huge honor—it’s been named a Top Innovator for 2025 by the Urban Libraries Council. Why? Their new Hooper-Renwick Themed Library in Lawrenceville, a space that’s all about equity, inclusion, and honoring history. “This award means the world to us,” said Charles Pace, GCPL’s executive director. “In a time when libraries face so many challenges, it’s a reminder of why we do what we do.” The library, built on the site of Gwinnett’s only pre-desegregation Black high school, blends history with modern resources, showcasing memorabilia and stories that deserve the spotlight. STORY 7: Lawrenceville's Baggett Elementary is GCPS's lone elementary school offering organized sports At Baggett Elementary, sports aren’t just about the game—they’re about giving kids a place to belong. Even though organized sports don’t officially start in Gwinnett County until middle school, a group of passionate teachers and staff decided to change that. It all started four years ago with basketball. Now? They’ve got T-ball, flag football, soccer, and cheerleading too. “We’ve basically built our own league,” said Jasmin Riley, the school’s PE teacher. The games are in-house—Baggett Blue vs. Baggett Red—but the energy is real. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: GCPS Hiring Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF A MARYLAND 529 FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Sandy Hornor | CEPS Managing Director, Wealth Management & Executive Manager, BWFA and Tyler Kluge | CFP®, ChFEB℠, CPWA®, CDFA®, CEPS,  Financial Planner, BWFA About This Episode Maryland 529 plans offer tax advantages for families saving for education. Learn how these plans work and how they fit into college planning. Full Description Saving for college can feel overwhelming, especially as education costs continue to rise. Maryland families have access to a powerful tool that can help make this goal more manageable: the Maryland 529 college savings plan. Understanding how these plans work is an important step in building an effective education funding strategy. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, Larry and Tyler discuss how Maryland 529 plans function and why they are commonly used for college savings. They explain the basic structure of a 529 plan, including how contributions grow over time and how funds can be used for qualified education expenses. The conversation also highlights the specific benefits available to Maryland residents. State tax deductions, flexibility in contribution amounts, and control over the account all play a role in making Maryland 529 plans appealing for families at different stages of planning. Larry and Tyler also discuss how these plans can be coordinated with other education funding options. Listeners will learn why it is important to align college savings with broader financial goals. Saving for education should not come at the expense of retirement planning or overall financial stability. This episode emphasizes the value of balance and thoughtful prioritization when planning for future expenses. Rather than viewing a 529 plan as a standalone solution, Larry and Tyler encourage families to integrate college savings into a comprehensive financial plan. This approach helps ensure education goals are supported while maintaining long-term flexibility. To learn more about education planning and savings strategies, visit BWFA's Financial Planning Services.

This week's show takes a look back at 2025 and noted how the markets have broadened heading into 2026. We explore decisions high net worth people face, as well as considerations when selling assets. One team interview explores “money guilt” – the uncomfortable feeling of second-guessing spending decisions. We also interview Chellee Siewert from Capture Sports Management, who helps athletes and entertainers find their “why.” Finally, we take a look at what you might consider as you enter retirement: what are your first steps?

Sportstime today come at you with Bryant & Landon giving you their Top and Not Top Story. Next we take a look at Christmas Day's games for football and the NBA. Saving the best for last, we break down what was the best game of the season in the Nuggets vs Timberwolves.

High-yield savings rates have dipped slightly since early spring, but they remain strong enough that choosing the right account right now can still be a wise move. After several quarter-point interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, savings yields have eased—but not disappeared. In fact, many online banks continue to offer returns well above those of most brick-and-mortar institutions.Understanding what's happening—and how to respond—can help you steward your cash with wisdom and confidence.Why Savings Still Matter in Your Financial PlanSavings and investments play very different roles. A savings account is designed for money that must remain safe, accessible, and dependable—your emergency fund, short-term needs, and dollars you'll rely on in the next few years.Savings won't deliver investment-level growth, but the interest they earn still matters. Every bit of growth helps preserve purchasing power and strengthens your financial footing over time.Over the past few years, inflation rose well above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. In response, the Fed raised short-term interest rates aggressively. As rates climbed, savings yields—especially at online banks—rose alongside them.Earlier this year, many high-yield savings accounts were paying between 4.75% and 5%, sometimes more. That gave savers an unusual opportunity to earn meaningful interest on cash that would otherwise sit idle.Since then, inflation has cooled, and the Fed has begun cutting rates. Those reductions have nudged savings yields lower, but today's rates are still historically strong—and far more generous than what traditional banks typically offer.Why Timing Still Works in Your FavorBanks rarely adjust savings rates immediately after a Fed announcement. Often, there's a window—sometimes several weeks—when higher yields remain available before they gradually drift downward.That lag creates an opportunity. While savings accounts aren't “locked in” like CDs, moving your money into a competitive high-yield account now allows you to benefit as rates slowly settle. Banks tend to move cautiously, often watching one another before making changes, which gives savers time to act.For many families, knowing their savings are earning a solid return brings peace of mind—whether preparing for an unexpected expense or setting aside resources for opportunities God may bring.Where High-Yield Savings Fit BestA strong savings strategy usually includes three key priorities:1. Your emergency fund. Keep three to six months of expenses in a high-yield savings account. The stronger the yield, the faster that cushion grows—without taking on risk or debt.2. Short- and mid-term goals. Money you'll need in the next two to five years—such as a down payment, major repair, or planned purchase—should stay protected from market volatility. High-yield savings accounts offer both safety and reasonable earnings.3. Regular comparison. Some traditional banks still pay as little as 0.01%—essentially nothing—while online banks often offer rates dozens of times higher. Comparing what you're earning with what's available elsewhere can make a meaningful difference.Exploring Your Options WiselyComparison sites like Bankrate and NerdWallet can help you evaluate current rates while also considering reliability, customer experience, and safety ratings.Money market accounts are another solid option, often offering competitive yields with added flexibility, such as check-writing privileges. Just be mindful of minimum balance requirements.Don't overlook credit unions either. As not-for-profit institutions, they often return earnings to members through stronger rates and lower fees. One example is AdelFi Christian Banking, a credit union that combines competitive yields with support for Gospel-centered ministry worldwide.You can learn more at FaithFi.com/Banking.Stewardship Is About Faithful ConsistencyChoosing where to place your savings isn't simply about chasing the highest return. It's about managing God's resources with intention and care. Saving consistently—month after month, year after year—is quiet, faithful work.A wise savings vehicle supports that journey, helping your money work a little harder while you walk forward with clarity, confidence, and trust in the Lord's provision.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 70 and retired, with a steady monthly income. I need a car costing about $20,000, and I still owe $27,000 on my mortgage. I'd prefer not to carry two payments—should I pay off the mortgage or buy the car, and where should the money come from?I want long-term protection through investing in gold. What's the best way to do that today?I'm retired and have about $1 million invested with Edward Jones. They're moving me to a 1.2% annual fee on my entire portfolio instead of transaction-based fees. I agreed, but I now wonder whether the fee is warranted.

What if the book you're writing is actually about the story holding you back? In this episode, Amanda Johnson shares how twenty years of helping entrepreneurs write books revealed something most people never see: the reason you can't finish your book usually has nothing to do with time, organization, or writing skills. It's the old stories you're carrying that keep one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake. Amanda's work goes far beyond traditional book coaching. She creates what she calls "story saving" experiences where high-achieving entrepreneurs finally see the truth they've been avoiding. She tells the remarkable story of a social worker writing a "choose your own adventure" book about high-conflict divorces who spent 18 months unable to get one character right. Amanda kept trying to show her client she was writing her own husband, but the truth wasn't safe enough to see yet.  After a decade of watching hybrid publishing houses destroy clients' carefully-built brands with covers that would "completely disrupt trust," Amanda's 19-year-old entrepreneurial son suggested while she cursed in the kitchen: "Mom, how about we just build a publishing house?" Now, with her son as business partner and youngest sister as creative designer, Amanda runs Saved By Story, a boutique hybrid publisher where every detail honors the transformational work her clients have done.    [00:03:40] Entrepreneurial DNA Raised with entrepreneurial grandparents, it's in her DNA Accounts for rebellious spirit: entrepreneurs see problems and think "I could fix that" Thought she was going to be a Christian journalist at end of high school Got to university, asked to be part of honors program (classic books program) [00:04:40] Learning to Think Critically Four and a half years wrestling with great ideas and stories that formed civilization Hadn't been taught how to think critically or feel greatly Halfway through decided: I want to get to teens before they're in college alone and disconnected Became a history teacher to help teens think critically and wrestle with big ideas [00:05:40] Bouncing Out of the System Got classroom with all gang bangers, drug dealers, kids nobody else wanted first semester "What is the logic here? Send the newbie to barely survive?" Did it for six months, gave absolute best Realized couldn't give it her all every day and show up as good mom for toddler [00:06:20] The Online Writing Program Friend of family starting online writing instruction program "You have teaching credential, writing chops, can do it anytime when your kid is sleeping" Helped build curriculum, got really great results Went to networking events to share the program [00:07:00] The Side Business That Changed Everything Female entrepreneurs said "I don't want you to teach me to write, I need you to fix what I've written" Opened side business helping people get clear on message, audience, and engagement Quickly found story was the answer Story was also the answer to why most people weren't finishing their books [00:08:40] The Retreat Model Today Mostly retreat and community model for busy, wildly successful individuals They need time away, good excuse to say "I'm out for three days, seven days" They know how to focus and achieve goals, but book always gets pushed to back burner All of a sudden five or ten years have gone by [00:09:20] Authorship is Lonely Like Entrepreneurship Not every entrepreneur writes book to establish authority Entrepreneurs can be very lonely working from home without water cooler experiences Gets exacerbated when someone decides to write: Who am I to write? How does one do this? Having community where everybody's in same soup moves people much more quickly [00:10:40] Two Types of Clients First type (15-20%): "I need this done in three months and published in another three" Example: Client franchising business in six months, needed book published first Wrote book in less than three months, published in another three months These clients know how to block time and make it happen [00:12:40] The Choose Your Own Adventure Book Works in high conflict divorces, helps judge sort out what's best for kids Wanted to write choose your own adventure for her career Family with parents and two children, both parents get three options each All sound amazing but only one actually is best, shows destination of each choice [00:13:40] Writing the Husband Character Writing family quite unfairly, good for women but men would say "What? She didn't do anything" Couldn't get one character right, Amanda realized she was writing her husband We write what we know Readers said "No way would I put this in front of male reader, this has to be changed" [00:15:20] Breaking Generational Patterns Didn't have enough safety in herself, writing character out helped her see truth Realized all the stuff in marriage was generational Has been able to break that generational story for her own kids This is the book "You Can't Make This Story Up" [00:16:00] Fifteen Years of Seeing People Stuck Could have been wounded story or something they didn't want to talk about Sometimes they'd been dimmed in childhood or got in trouble when they got visible One foot on gas, one foot on brake even though it's for great cause and fulfilling purpose Had to figure out what the brake was [00:16:40] After That Story, Everything Changed After 15 years of stories, decided to help other creatives and entrepreneurs learn about being stuck It's not just "not organized" or "not right time" or "I'm not good writer" Those are ego's convenient way of keeping us from changing the real story That lady worked for two or three years and still rewriting it three or four years later [00:17:20] Do It In Community If our souls know that hard work is coming, of course there's resistance Answer: Write it, process it first, do it with partner who knows what you're up to Do it in community because communal experience really accelerates it [00:19:40] The 12 Month Program Structure Seven days together quarterly in person in cozy Airbnb (not conference settings) First three days: story saving work (not therapy but sort of feels like it) One day: go to spot together or do something fun in nature, let everything recalibrate Three days of work: goal is to get first chapter at first retreat [00:22:40] It's Always About Relationships When trying something new, doesn't want to do all the tasks "Where are the people? It's all for me. It's always been about relationship, not the actual to-dos" First person who changed everything: Ursula Lameris, sales coach [00:24:40] Learning From an Extrovert Connection was so natural to Ursula but not natural to Amanda (introvert) Put it in the book, had fun for five or six years in same neighborhood Made game out of networking: "Today I'm gonna sell this many contracts for you" Both experienced each other's work, just created relationships [00:25:20] Making Networking a Game Would go to networking meetings and talk each other up "Oh you need to talk to Amanda. Oh you need to talk to Ursula" That's how they both built really amazing businesses in a few years [00:28:00] Ten Years of Saving Self-Published Authors After 10 years helping individuals self-publish, people started looking at hybrid publishing Needed imprint for their position, status, industry Would try different hybrid houses, then call Amanda to come save it Couldn't believe what she was seeing [00:29:20] The 19-Year-Old's Solution Son said: "Mom, how about we just build a publishing house? We'll just figure it out" He was 19 years old Always been an entrepreneur, was hustling people at garage sale at age three or four Amanda: "I don't really have time, but if you want to, I'll partner with you" [00:30:00] Saved By Story Publishing House Son is business partner, youngest sister is creative designer Boutique hybrid publishing house A lot of people who do writing process eventually move through publishing Do education and empowerment for people ready to publish without giving all power away [00:30:40] The Bigger Impact Vision More of what's already doing, bigger impact on personal side Narrative resilience work that happens when people write in community Gets to end of retreats thinking "There are only few people in this room" Dream: expanding transformational work through personal brand, speaking, facilitation [00:31:00] Narrative Tools for Every Arena Take narrative tools and skills and infuse them into places that need them Education system, mental health space Pretty much every other arena could benefit from narrative resilience right now [00:32:00] Free Content at Foreshadows Website: savedbystory.house Forward slash foreshadows has whole bunch of free content Helps anyone at any stage from "I have an idea" to "Am I on right track for publishing?" [00:33:00] Tell Your Family How to Support Figure out how to make people around you feel safer while on amazing adventure Most family members really want to support, but if we don't tell them how, they don't know how   KEY QUOTES "We're made to belong. We're made to be in a community. And the way that we do that and have for millennia is by figuring out how to be reciprocal." - Amanda Johnson "Most of our family members really want to support, but if we don't tell them how, then they don't know how." - Amanda Johnson CONNECT WITH AMANDA JOHNSON

Most people believe saving money is the responsible thing to do. But what if that habit is quietly costing you your future wealth?   In this episode of The Abundance Mindset, Vinney Chopra and Gualter Amarelo break down why money that sits still actually loses power over time—and how fear-based saving can limit opportunity. Vinney shares lessons from building a massive real estate portfolio after coming to the U.S. with just $7, while Gualter connects those principles to real decisions investors are making right now.   Here's what they dive into:

“Saving money won't make you rich. It's just making everyone else richer while you fall behind.” If school taught us how money really works, most of us wouldn't be stuck trading time for paychecks. In this episode, Jaspreet shares the five lessons about money every young person should've learned before turning 20, from understanding what money actually is to how wealthy people think, spend, and build freedom. He breaks down why saving alone keeps you poor, how to use debt the right way, and why the people who look rich usually aren't. This is the financial reality check you wish your high school teacher had the guts to give you. What You'll Learn: Why dollars lose value every day and what to do about it How wealthy people work for equity, not paychecks The trap of “looking rich” and how it keeps most people broke The right and wrong ways to use debt How to make mistakes early and still win big later A no-fluff 25-minute crash course in everything school never taught you, so you can stop playing the wrong money game.

Saving women and babies from poverty report shows pregnancy resource centers provided $358 Million in Services Last Year. (2:57) Heaven (in our 4 last things series). (13:56) 12 Days of Christmas Song’s hidden Catholic meaning. (25:44) Resources mentioned: 10 commandments https://relevantradio.com/faith/catholicism-101/the-ten-commandments/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA4Y-sBhC6ARIsAGXF1g4OjyXEbbYp5T5IF9kHWLzDxwPLEN9dtHyBeW-mnP1LEj9isOA-FvgaAgJNEALw_wcB Catechism of the Catholic Church 1023-1029: 1023 Those who die in God's grace and friendship and are perfectly purified live for ever with Christ. They are like God for ever, for they "see him as he is," face to face:598 By virtue of our apostolic authority, we define the following: According to the general disposition of God, the souls of all the saints ... and other faithful who died after receiving Christ's holy Baptism (provided they were not in need of purification when they died, ... or, if they then did need or will need some purification, when they have been purified after death, ...) already before they take up their bodies again and before the general judgment — and this since the Ascension of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into heaven — have been, are and will be in heaven, in the heavenly Kingdom and celestial paradise with Christ, joined to the company of the holy angels. Since the Passion and death of our Lord Jesus Christ, these souls have seen and do see the divine essence with an intuitive vision, and even face to face, without the mediation of any creature.599 1024 This perfect life with the Most Holy Trinity — this communion of life and love with the Trinity, with the Virgin Mary, the angels and all the blessed — is called "heaven." Heaven is the ultimate end and fulfillment of the deepest human longings, the state of supreme, definitive happiness. 1025 To live in heaven is "to be with Christ." The elect live "in Christ,"600 but they retain, or rather find, their true identity, their own name.601 For life is to be with Christ; where Christ is, there is life, there is the kingdom.602 1026 By his death and Resurrection, Jesus Christ has "opened" heaven to us. The life of the blessed consists in the full and perfect possession of the fruits of the redemption accomplished by Christ. He makes partners in his heavenly glorification those who have believed in him and remained faithful to his will. Heaven is the blessed community of all who are perfectly incorporated into Christ. 1027 This mystery of blessed communion with God and all who are in Christ is beyond all understanding and description. Scripture speaks of it in images: life, light, peace, wedding feast, wine of the kingdom, the Father's house, the heavenly Jerusalem, paradise: "no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him."603 1028 Because of his transcendence, God cannot be seen as he is, unless he himself opens up his mystery to man's immediate contemplation and gives him the capacity for it. The Church calls this contemplation of God in his heavenly glory "the beatific vision": How great will your glory and happiness be, to be allowed to see God, to be honored with sharing the joy of salvation and eternal light with Christ your Lord and God, ... to delight in the joy of immortality in the Kingdom of heaven with the righteous and God's friends.604 1029 In the glory of heaven the blessed continue joyfully to fulfill God's will in relation to other men and to all creation. Already they reign with Christ; with him "they shall reign for ever and ever."605

The Old Money Rules Are Broken  Here's What Actually Works Now Most people are still following financial advice that was designed for a world that no longer exists. Save your money. Get a degree. Work for forty years. Retire if nothing goes wrong. In this episode, I walk you through why that playbook is broken and what the new money rules look like in today's economy. We break down the shift from saving to ownership, from jobs to skills, from "someday" to designing freedom now, and from waiting to moving while things are still messy. Using real examples and simple math, you'll see why safety-focused advice often creates long-term stress instead of freedom. If your money feels stuck, outdated, or misaligned with the life you want this episode is your wake-up call. Episode Timeline and Highlights [0:00] Why old money rules don't work anymore [1:15] Saving vs ownership [4:00] Jobs, skills, and leverage [6:00] The problem with delaying life [8:00] Why waiting keeps people broke [10:00] How to update your financial playbook [12:00] What to do next Key Takeaways • Saving doesn't build wealth—ownership does • Income without leverage creates dependence • Time is the most expensive thing you lose • Freedom is designed, not delayed • Clarity comes from action, not overthinking Quotables "Saving doesn't build wealth. Ownership does." "If your plan depends on surviving forty years of stress, it's broken." "Clarity is earned through movement—not waiting." Closing If your financial strategy feels outdated, don't beat yourself up. Just update the rules you're playing by.

Sermon by Paul Pierpoint The Saving Ability of Christ God's Bible College Camp 2010 www.ihconvention.com

Black love was not lost by accident — it was systematically dismantled through European invasion, the erasure of Indigenous belief systems, and the imposition of Abrahamic religious ideology that reshaped identity, family structures, and relationships.In this episode of the Redeem or Destroy Podcast, we go deep on:• The original strength and purpose of Black love in pre-invasion societies• How religion became a psychological tool that taught self-hate, submission, and broken identity• The impact of Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome on modern Black relationships• How unhealed trauma became normalized as culture• What must be removed — and what must be rebuilt — for Black love to heal communities and strengthen nationsThis is not comfort.This is not opinion.This is FACTS OVER BELIEFS.

Discover how our salvation is rooted in God's mercy, and by His grace, we are transformed with new purpose and hope.
