"So teach us to number our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom." - Psalm 90:12 If you're a few years from retirement and your savings aren't quite where you want them, you might feel like you've run out of time. But maybe you don't need a time machine to solve the problem. Today, Matt Bell joins us with some encouraging words about beefing up retirement savings.Matt Bell is the Managing Editor at Sound Mind Investing, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. The Surprising Power of Working a Little LongerIn 2018, a Stanford study called The Power of Working Longer made a compelling discovery: delaying retirement by just three to six months can have the same impact on retirement readiness as saving an additional 1% of income every year for 30 years.Yes, really.This is largely due to two factors:Higher Social Security Benefits – For every month you delay past full retirement age, your benefit increases by 2/3 of 1% (8% annually). Better Annuity Rates – The older you are when purchasing an annuity, the more monthly income you'll receive for the same investment.But there's a caveat: the study is based on specific assumptions that may not match your financial situation.What the Study Assumes—and Why It MattersThe Stanford study uses a fictional worker named “John” who:Started saving at age 36Saved 6% of income and received a 3% matchRetired at 66 and claimed Social Security immediatelyUsed all savings to buy an inflation-indexed annuityIn reality, your income, savings rate, Social Security timing, and withdrawal strategy may differ widely. Not to mention, indexed annuities like the one in the study are no longer widely available. So while the study provides encouragement, its specifics shouldn't be universally applied.If you can delay claiming Social Security, it can significantly boost your lifelong income. For example, waiting until age 70 instead of 66 could result in a monthly check that's 24% higher. You'd need to live roughly 12 more years to “break even,” but many retirees today are living well into their 80s and beyond.Social Security is essentially a government-backed, inflation-adjusted annuity, making it a powerful foundation for retirement income.More Benefits to Working LongerBeyond Social Security, staying employed offers additional financial and emotional perks:More Contributions – Additional working years allow you to save more and delay withdrawals.Shorter Retirement Span – Fewer retirement years mean your nest egg doesn't have to stretch as far.Health & Community – Work often provides routine, purpose, and social interaction—elements many retirees miss.Working longer isn't just a financial decision—it impacts your time, relationships, and expectations. If you've long looked forward to travel, family time, or volunteering, extending your career might feel like a loss. That's why it's essential to consider both the math and the meaning.Couples should prayerfully approach retirement planning together. Decisions about timing affect both spouses, especially when only one is working. Unequal expectations can lead to tension, so it's essential to:Talk openly about your hopes and concernsUnderstand your financial picture as a teamChoose unity over independence in decision-makingThis is one of the most crucial decisions you'll make as a couple.How Much Do You Really Need?You may have heard that you need 70–80% of your pre-retirement income. That's a good rule of thumb, but it's far better to run the numbers yourself. Some costs (like commuting or saving for retirement) may go down. Others (like healthcare or travel) may go up. The best approach? Create a post-retirement budget based on your unique goals and lifestyle.If you're behind on retirement savings, don't panic—and don't go it alone. Tools on the Social Security website can help you run scenarios based on your age and income. Brokerages like Fidelity or Schwab offer annuity estimators. Most importantly, seek wise counsel and pray through your decisions with your spouse.If you'd like to read the full article from Sound Mind Investing that we discussed during this episode, read Matt's article titled Retirement Preparedness—What a Difference a Little Time Can Make at SoundMindInvesting.com. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I now have the money from my tax return to pay my property taxes, due in two installments—one in May and one six months later. Should I go ahead and pay it all now since I have the funds, or is there a wise short-term investment I could consider in the meantime?Is there a reliable resource or organization that can provide information on charities that are requesting donations, such as groups like America Cares, CARE, or Mercy Ships?What are your thoughts on the cryptocurrency XRP?

What can a coin tell us about history, power, and identity? This week, hosts Jonathan Schwab and Yael Steiner explore the Roman Judea Capta coins—propaganda minted to celebrate Rome's brutal suppression of the Jewish revolt and the destruction of the Second Temple. Why would a global empire spotlight a small province like Judea on its currency? Schwab unpacks the fascinating world of numismatics, showing how coins served as ancient mass media and a tool for emperors like Vespasian to craft political narratives. This episode dives deep into coins as artifacts, propaganda tools, and symbols of survival and resistance. Click here for a summary and sources referenced in the episode.

The Bible contains more than 2,300 verses related to money and possessions—a staggering number. But it's not because money is the most important topic. Rather, it's because money is one of the most accurate indicators of what's going on in our hearts.If you explore this subject, you'll find stats like “1 out of every 7 verses in which Jesus speaks involves money,” or “11 of His 39 parables are about money.” While I'm not sure if those stats are accurate, it is true that Jesus mentions money a lot. However, His teaching is rarely about money itself. It's always about something bigger, looming in the background.Money isn't just a resource; it's a reflection. It reveals our priorities, fears, hopes, and values. Whether we live paycheck to paycheck or have significant wealth, we all wrestle with what money means to us. That's why Jesus said in Matthew 6:21, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”From personal stress to relationship breakdowns, money often acts like a magnifying glass. It brings underlying values to the surface. For example, in marriage, financial tension is often less about dollar amounts and more about differences in values, such as security versus spontaneity, generosity versus comfort, and planning versus pleasure.Every Financial Decision Is a Spiritual OneEven small spending decisions carry spiritual weight. That morning latte? Those new shoes? They may seem trivial, but they reflect priorities. Matthew 6:24 reminds us that “no one can serve two masters…you cannot serve God and money.”This doesn't mean we can't enjoy God's provision. In fact, Ecclesiastes 3:12–13 says, “There is nothing better…than to be joyful and to do good…also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift.” However, that enjoyment must be balanced with the bigger picture: Are our financial decisions aligned with God's heart?In marriages and relationships, conflicting values around money are common, and they're not necessarily wrong. One spouse may dream of traveling to create family memories, while the other may want to boost their retirement savings. Both can honor God. The key is discovering common ground and inviting God into the conversation.Howard Dayton, the previous host of this program, used to say, “It's hard to quarrel when you're praying together.” Prayer aligns our hearts before we try to align our plans. Through honest conversations and mutual respect, differences can become opportunities for growth rather than division.If money disagreements persist, don't hesitate to bring in wise, biblical counsel. A financial advisor—especially a Certified Kingdom Advisor®—can help couples or individuals uncover shared goals and develop a plan that honors God and promotes unity.The Bottom Line: God Wants Your HeartWhether you're facing a tough decision or navigating financial tension in your home, remember: it's not ultimately about the money. God is after your heart. And when your heart is surrendered to Him, your financial decisions will reflect that trust.So whatever you're facing today, don't walk through it alone. Pray. Talk. Seek wisdom. And above all, treasure Christ above all else. When He has your heart, everything else—including your finances—will follow.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a credit card with a $9,300 balance and would like to know how to pay it off quickly while minimizing high-interest charges.I have an annuity and IRAs with Edward Jones that I'm unhappy with due to low performance and high fees. I'm considering moving my investments to Schwab or another financial institution and want advice on how to manage my approximately $500,000 in investable assets.I currently have two certificates of deposit and would like to know if I should liquidate them and open an IRA instead.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look 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) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

For the segments of the population that know about the World Economic Forum and the step down of Klaus Schwab, who announced his resignation in 2024, the appointment of Peter Brabeck-Letmathe has caused a giant conspiracy stir for two major reasons: his current physical features make him look outright evil and because this is the same guy who said he didn't believe in the NGO promotion of water as a human right. Peter is the former CEO of Nestlé, one of a spider web of companies that control almost the entire food, beverage, medicine, and food-like-substance market, alongside of pet products too. Like many of the other major companies in this web - Kraft, Coca-Cola, Pepsico, Kellogg's, Mars, Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, P&G - Nestlé owns and operates a large variety of other brands. Whether it could be helped or not, and whether the public or individual were truly aware or not, the fact is that the companies and products we supported built the leadership of the vary ideologies we find so repulsive. Why did Peter Letmathe take over the World Economic Forum? Because we paid him to do so. -FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKMAIN WEBSITECashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.

Jonathan Schwab and Yael Steiner explore the story of the Dura Europos Synagogue—preserved beneath desert sand in what is modern day Syria, for 1,700 years. In this colorful episode, Schwab and Yael take listeners on a vivid tour through the 3rd century BCE synagogue, its extraordinary murals of biblical scenes, its mysterious inscriptions, and clues about ancient Jewish life, art, and community. From Pharaoh's daughter painted in the nude to Ezra depicted with a Torah scroll, this synagogue defies modern expectations with its wall-to-wall biblical imagery, multilingual graffiti, and rich cultural fusion of Roman, Persian, and Jewish influences.

What's the difference between a bank and a credit union? More than you might think.At first glance, banks and credit unions can seem pretty similar as they both offer valuable financial services. But dig a little deeper, and you'll find that credit unions can be a powerful partner for managing money. Aaron Caid joins us to explain why.Aaron Caid is the Chief Marketing Officer at Christian Community Credit Union, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. A Different Kind of Financial InstitutionCredit unions stand apart from traditional banks because they are not-for-profit cooperatives owned by their members. That means the focus is on long-term member relationships, and service is preeminent.However, Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU) goes a step further. Their mission is rooted in striving to serve and love others like Christ. This distinctly faith-based approach transforms everyday banking into a form of ministry that seeks to honor God and expand His Kingdom.At Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU), they help members align their finances with their biblical worldview. That includes offering loans to build churches and support Christ-centered ministries, turning ordinary financial tools into extraordinary Kingdom-building instruments.Surprising Strength in Rates and ServicesMany people assume credit unions can't compete with traditional banks regarding rates, but that's a misconception. Because credit unions don't exist to make profits for shareholders, they can return those profits to our members through better rates and lower fees.Here's a snapshot of Christian Community Credit Union's (CCCU) current offerings:Harvest High-Yield Checking: 4% APY on balances up to $5,000 with no maintenance feesHarvest High-Yield Savings: 5% APY on the first $5,000Welcome CD: 4.5%–4.75% APY on 5- and 10-month termsCash Back Credit Card: 1.5% cash back and a donation to Christian causes with every swipeCCCU also offers vehicle loans, mortgages, and home equity lines of credit at competitive rates, digital banking, and 24/7 member support.Beyond rates and products, CCCU is also committed to spiritual growth through financial stewardship. They provide resources from trusted partners like FaithFi and Compass Financial Ministry to help our members grow in their financial discipleship.It's not just about managing money well—it's about managing money faithfully.Funding Ministry and Fueling the GospelOne of the most inspiring aspects of CCCU is its direct support of ministry work. CCCU specializes in ministry lending, and with over $1 billion in ministry loans funded, it understands what churches and ministries need.From property and equipment loans to operating accounts and reserve fund solutions, CCCU partners with ministries financially and missionarily.Plus, their giving program has donated more than $6.5 million to Christian causes. That includes ministries fighting human trafficking, protecting vulnerable children, providing disaster relief, and sharing the gospel worldwide.Becoming a Member is EasySo, how can you join?Membership is open to Christians and Christian ministries nationwide. You can become a member through your church, school, a partner ministry like Christian Alliance for Orphans, or even through a family member.With a streamlined online process, starting banking with your values is easier than ever. When your money is aligned with your faith, it does more than grow—it gives, serves, and multiplies for God's glory.To learn more or become a member, visit joinchristiancommunity.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a 401(k) at a place where I used to work about 15 years ago, at the University of North Chicago. It's about $15,000, and I have not been at that job for over 15 years. I want to know if it's a good idea to move it. Should I combine it with my current 401(k), or should I just leave it there?I have a stock in my portfolio that is losing between 40 and 47%. It has an F rating and is a large part of my portfolio. I want to sell it, but I want to know what to do with it after I sell it. I have it in Schwab, and I'm wondering if there's a better fund I could put it in since I have a lot sitting there.I'm contributing to an employer 457(b) plan. Those funds are going into a Roth plan, and I am contributing the maximum amount. I'm married and over 50. I'd like to know if I can also open a personal Roth IRA and a traditional Roth IRA.I would like to sell a piece of land, but I want to sell it to a developer, maybe someone who would be developing a spa, a hotel, or something similar. I want to know where I can go to access or look for developers who would be interested in purchasing my land.My husband and I didn't file taxes from 2016 to 2022, and sadly, he passed away recently. There are IRS notices with increased penalties and interest. Do I have to list the fact that there is a withholding on the IRS notices, even though I didn't have any income, and it was all his income?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineChristian Community Credit Union (CCCU)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look 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) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch as they have a great time breaking down a series of jaw-dropping stories. They dig into Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren's awkward admission about Biden's mental decline, a far-left Minnesota prosecutor refusing to charge a leftist state employee who seriously vandalized numerous Teslas, and explosive allegations that Klaus Schwab grossly misused World Economic Forum resources. Plus, they uncover a Die Hard connection to another of the day's biggest stories.First, they thoroughly enjoy watching a progressive podcast host grill Sen. Warren over her insistence that she didn't notice signs of President Biden's cognitive struggles before last year's debate. Warren ultimately tried to deflect, but Jim and Greg explain why this backpedaling will haunt Democrats and the media for a long time.Next, they're stunned by prosecutor Mary Moriarty's refusal to press charges against Dylan Adams, a Minnesota state employee accused of deliberately vandalizing six Teslas—causing $20,000 in damage. Adams will face no jail time and even gets to keep his government job. Jim notes the frustration of local police and the damage done when intentionally criminal behavior is swept under the rug due to politics.Then, they dive into the allegations against outgoing World Economic Forum leader Klaus Schwab and his wife, who are accused of stealing substantial funds from the WEF and taking over a luxury property owned by the organization during COVID lockdowns.

In this fiery episode of Breaking History, Matt Ehret and Ghost deliver a blistering exposé on the globalist power structure behind Pope Francis, the World Economic Forum, and the coordinated collapse of the old world order. With the simultaneous death of Pope Francis and the abrupt resignation of Klaus Schwab, the hosts unpack what they see as a symbolic changing of the guard, and a deeper spiritual and geopolitical shake-up. Matt dives deep into the Vatican's alignment with the WEF through the Council for Inclusive Capitalism, exposing Pope Francis's ties to literal fascist regimes, the Jesuit agenda, and the Great Reset's spiritual veneer. He traces the Pope's ideological roots in liberation theology, Operation Condor, and the CIA-backed Argentine junta, raising urgent questions about Francis's legacy and the Vatican's role in weaponizing social justice as a tool of global control. The duo also unpacks the rise of Gaia worship, anti-human eco-theology, and the rebranding of Christianity into a soft-power vehicle for Agenda 2030. Ghost joins in to explore the overlapping collapse of narrative control, the ritualistic timing of world events, and the maneuvering of Trump and Putin amid intensifying Middle East diplomacy and collapsing U.S. embassies abroad. This episode is an unfiltered reckoning with history, symbolism, and the spiritual battle unfolding in real time.
Klaus Schwab is out—and the globalist machine is crumbling. In this episode, we break down Schwab's sudden resignation as head of the World Economic Forum, the installation of his replacement, and the growing backlash against the Great Reset. From a 2005 clip where WEF's new interim chair claims water isn't a human right, to Schwab's 2024 admission that a political revolution is underway, this is the story of a collapsing ideology and the movement rising to take its place.

From market-neutral funds to buffered ETFs, he lays out the case for simplicity, diversification, and discipline over complexity and high fees.

Tom Bilyeu is joined by his insightful co-host, Drew, to confront a cascade of world-shaking headlines and dig into their far-reaching implications. Kicking things off with a prophetic rundown of global events—ranging from the death of Pope Francis to tech innovations straight out of sci-fi—Tom and Drew tackle the convergence of geopolitics, religion, and technology like never before. Together, they examine the unique legacy of Pope Francis, the strategic genius (and missteps) in religious recruitment, and the historic moments that shaped global culture. The conversation then pivots to the U.S. Supreme Court's surprise late-night injunction on immigration issues, as Tom dissects the tension between due process, executive power, and the present-day political landscape. Interwoven are reflections on good governance, the rise of the “dumb voter” problem, and the essential role of free speech in a society hungry for truth and self-determination.

One of the biggest and often overlooked risks facing retirees is sequence-of-returns risk. The risk of experiencing investment losses early in retirement can have an impact on the sustainability of savings over the long term. Morningstar researchers dug into this in their latest State of Retirement Income study. Their findings confirm what many retirement planners already suspect: the first five years of retirement are make-or-break.

//The Wire//2200Z April 21, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: POPE FRANCIS PASSES AWAY THIS MORNING. CHINA ANNOUNCES LATEST MOVE IN USA/CHINA TRADE WAR.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Vatican City: Pope Francis passed away early this morning at the age of 88, following his bout of respiratory illness. The Vatican stated that Pope Francis died at his residence after experiencing a stroke this morning.Switzerland: Klaus Schwab, the founder of the infamous World Economic Forum abruptly announced his resignation from his position as Chair of the forum, along with his seat on the Board of Trustees.AC: No comment was provided on the reason for Schwab stepping aside, and the resignation took effect immediately. However, Schwab had taken a reduced role at the Forum anyway, after handing over most of the day-to-day operations of the organization to Børge Brende back in May of last year.Far East: The trade war between the United States and China continues to expand, with China announcing a new style of retaliatory tariffs. Though the announcement from China's Ministry of Commerce was somewhat vague, the general sentiment is that for any nation that works with the United States regarding their own tariffs, China will impose Chinese tariffs on that nation.AC: If this is what China intends to do, this is a significant development. Taxing a third-party nation simply because that nation is working favorably with the USA, is purely a "friend of my enemy is an enemy" approach to this trade crisis that highlights just how serious Beijing is regarding this situation. In short, this whole affair may just be more serious than it appears at face value. -HomeFront-Florida: This morning Delta Flight 1213 experienced an engine fire before takeoff in Orlando. The fire occurred as the No. 2 engine was started after pushback from the gate, prompting the inflatable slides to be deployed to evacuate passengers to the taxiway.New Mexico: A local county magistrate judge has resigned following an incident that involved harboring an illegal alien two months ago. Back in February, Cristhian Ortega-Lopez was arrested on a variety of charges at Judge Cano's home, where he had been living.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The resignation of Judge Cano is not particularly surprising as this judge openly confessed to harboring this illegal alien at his residence. In photos posted to his personal (and public) Facebook page, the judge was also seen in video footage that shows the illegal handling weapons. The reason as to why this two-month-old story is worth mentioning now is due to the quiet "retirement" of the judge at nearly the same time that various court docs claim the illegal was a member of Tren de Aragua (TdA), the infamous gang that has been recently designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). While this development largely went unnoticed by the general public, this FTO designation is no joke. This categorization allows a plethora of tools (to include kinetic targeting efforts) to be used to combat the groups designated as FTOs. It's bad enough for a judge to openly harbor an illegal alien for political purposes, but it's a different thing altogether to harbor someone who's part of a terrorist organization.It is that FTO label that changes the game; it's entirely a different atmosphere to harbor someone with the same designation as Bin Laden. Though this is speculative, this is probably why this judge quietly got shut down and pressured into "retirement". Everyone knows that it's almost impossible to indict a judge for anything at all (even low-level county magistrates), but it's also hard to remain in the public eye after being caught knowingly harboring a federally designated terrorist on US soil, and providing that individual with small arms.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://p
Gary Kah is founder and director of Hope for the World. Gary is editor of Hope for the World Update. He's an author and former Europe & Middle East Trade Specialist for the Indiana State Government.As Jim noted at the beginning of this broadcast, "The goals of global government continue to spin." This is being helped along by the big news concerning the passing of Pope Francis. Gary described him as a cunning, interfaith man who was outspoken in his dedication toward globalism. This was seen in his support for the "Great Reset", he was tied to the World Economic Forum, he launched the Global Compact on Education, was in favor of the climate change agenda, had strong socialist leanings, supported leftist U.S. political figures despite their pro-abortion stance, was soft on gay marriage and he supported the extreme lock-down measures during COVID. Jim also passed along news that Klaus Schwab, Chair of the Board of Trustees of the World Economic Forum, has stepped down.Hear more on the Pope, Schwab, news concerning Russia/Ukraine and Israel and much more, on this edition of Crosstalk.
The U.S. Supreme Court issued a secretive midnight order halting Trump's deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, drawing a sharp rebuke from Justice Alito. Meanwhile, Kristi Noem was robbed in D.C., Hegseth leaked strike intel on Signal, and Trump called Fed Chair Powell a “loser” as markets dropped. The administration pushed a Ukraine peace deal favoring Russia, clashed with Israeli pressure on Iran, and faced backlash after Christians were blocked from Easter worship in Jerusalem. Pope Francis died, Schwab quit WEF, and China launched mass production of humanoid robots.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.
