Matthew 12:9-14 9 [Jesus] went on from there and entered their synagogue. 10 And a man was there with a withered hand. And they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse him. 11 He said to them, “Which one of you who has a sheep, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? 12 Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” 13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And the man stretched it out, and it was restored, healthy like the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him.

"Instagram is dentistry and Facebook is where friends and family are... Instagram is like meth, I can't get off it." — Alan Mead Alan sits down with a powerhouse trio—Dr. Russell Schafer, Dr. Mitch Hopkins, and Dr. Matt Standridge—live from Voices of Dentistry 2026. They bridge the gap between "Instagram Dentistry" and the daily grind of running a productive practice, covering everything from why 2D photography still beats 3D face scanning to the hard truths about dental school debt and clinical mastery. The Guest List: Dr. Russell Schafer: The man who helped name the "Group Function" and a recurring voice on the network. Dr. Mitch Hopkins: A first-time guest and longtime listener, sharing his journey into implant training and full-mouth rehabs. Dr. Matt Standridge: The "Tom Hanks of the Very Dental Podcast," returning to discuss the discipline of dental photography. Key Conversations: The Gateway to Comprehensive Care: Photography The group discusses Matt's presentation on photography. While high-end DSLRs create "dental porn" for Instagram, the real value lies in using photography as a diagnostic tool for every new patient. The "Dummy" Solution: Discussion on the ShoFu camera as a simpler alternative to complex DSLR setups. The IG Satire: A hilarious pitch for "Garbage Mouth Instagram"—high-end photography of the most neglected cases to stick it to the "AACD" types. 3D Scanning vs. The "Uncanny Valley" Despite the push for $10,000 3D face scanners, the consensus remains: 2D photos are more useful for lab design. * 3D renderings often fall into the "uncanny valley"—looking almost human but just "off" enough to be distracting. Photos are essential for designing smiles that actually fit the patient's face, not just their arches. Advice for the "Mid-Career" and New Dentists The conversation turns to the crushing debt and clinical gaps facing new grads. The All-on-4 Trap: Why jumping straight into full-arch implants because of debt can be a recipe for malpractice. The Power of Bread and Butter: A defense of molar endo, quadrant fillings, and the "Lean and Mean" model of dentistry. The PVS Skillset: Why learning analog impressions (and packing cord!) is still a vital skill in a digital world. Leveling Up Your Clinical Skills The episode wraps with a "lightning round" of advice for improving your work tomorrow: Design Your Own Crowns: Use software to marginate your own preps. It's the fastest way to realize where your technique is failing. Magnification & Lighting: Whether it's jumping from 2.5x to 4.5x loops or investing in high-quality surgical headlamps, if you can't see it, you can't treat it.

How Counterfeit Verses Distort Stewardship with Taylor Standridge

Counterfeits are dangerous precisely because they look convincing. The same is true of spiritual sayings that sound biblical but quietly distort how we think about God, stewardship, and money.Many believers can quote phrases that feel deeply spiritual—comforting even—but when placed under the light of Scripture, they don't actually appear there at all. Or worse, they twist what Scripture truly says. These “counterfeit verses” often shape how we view success, risk, provision, and dependence on God without us even realizing it.To explore this issue, we sat down with Taylor Standridge, Production Manager of FaithFi and a regular contributor to Faithful Steward. Taylor is also the lead writer behind Look at the Sparrows and Our Ultimate Treasure. In his recent article, Counterfeit Verses: How to Spot The Sayings That Aren't in the Bible, Taylor traces this problem all the way back to the beginning.“Did God Really Say?”—The First CounterfeitTaylor begins in Genesis 3, when the serpent approaches Eve with a deceptively subtle question: “Did God really say…?” (Genesis 3:1).This moment is critical because the enemy doesn't begin with an outright lie. Instead, he distorts what God has said and, in doing so, undermines God's character. The implication isn't merely that the command is questionable—but that God Himself may be withholding something good.Once Adam and Eve doubt God's goodness, disobedience follows naturally.That same pattern persists today. Many modern financial lies—whether cultural narratives or counterfeit verses—aren't blatant falsehoods. They're half-truths. They sound wise. They feel spiritual. And because they're close enough to the truth, they feel safe.Like a ship that veers off course by only one degree, the deviation seems harmless at first. But over time, it leads somewhere very different from what was intended.At the heart of every counterfeit is the same ancient question: Can God really be trusted?Counterfeit verses don't come with warning labels. They borrow biblical language, appeal to our emotions, and speak to real desires—hope, comfort, identity, and security.Sometimes they even quote Scripture, but rip it out of context.The danger isn't familiarity with Scripture—it's fragmented familiarity. When we know verses as slogans rather than as part of God's larger story, we become vulnerable to subtle distortions. The goal, however, isn't suspicion or cynicism. It's discernment—learning to recognize when a truth has been nudged just slightly off course.Studying the Real Thing: A Lesson from Counterfeit CurrencyTaylor uses a powerful illustration from the film Catch Me If You Can. Frank Abagnale Jr. succeeds as a forger not by inventing fake money from scratch, but by studying the real thing in obsessive detail—down to the ink, paper, and watermarks.Ironically, that expertise later makes him invaluable to the FBI.Banks don't train tellers by showing them every possible fake. They train them by handing them genuine currency until authenticity becomes instinctive.The same is true of Scripture. Discernment doesn't come from memorizing every error—it comes from knowing God's Word so deeply that when something sounds “almost right,” you can feel that it isn't.Common Counterfeit Verses That Shape Our View of Money“Money is the Root of All Evil”This misquote radically reshapes our theology of money. If money itself is evil, then wealth becomes suspicious, and stewardship feels compromising.But Scripture says something far more searching: “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils” (1 Timothy 6:10).The issue isn't possession—it's devotion. Scripture doesn't demonize money; it disciples our hearts.“God Helps Those Who Help Themselves”This phrase flips the gospel upside down. It places self-sufficiency at the center and turns God into a backup plan.Biblically, grace always comes first. God meets us in our need, not our strength. Stewardship, then, isn't self-rescue—it's dependence. Jesus says it plainly: “Apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5).“God Won't Give You More Than You Can Handle”This saying sounds comforting, but it places the burden of endurance squarely on our shoulders.Paul tells a different story: “We were so utterly burdened beyond our strength… so that we would not rely on ourselves but on God” (2 Corinthians 1:8–9).God often allows what we cannot handle so that we learn to rely on Him.“Let Go and Let God”This phrase requires nuance. Scripture does call us to trust—but never to passive disengagement.Faith and obedience always move together. Noah builds. Abraham goes. Ruth works. Grace empowers action; it doesn't replace it. As J. I. Packer once said, the Christian motto isn't “Let go and let God,” but “Trust God and get going.”Growing in Discernment Without FearDiscernment begins with familiarity. Counterfeits thrive when Scripture is reduced to slogans. But when we immerse ourselves in the full story of God's Word, we learn to recognize the Shepherd's voice (John 10:4).Community matters too. God designed us to learn truth together—through teaching, correction, and shared wisdom.The goal isn't paranoia. It's confidence. We don't spend our lives studying counterfeits—we anchor ourselves in truth, trusting the Spirit of God to alert us when something isn't from Him.If we want to steward money wisely, we must first steward God's truth faithfully. Because when we know what God has truly said, we're finally free to live—and steward—with clarity, confidence, and trust.———————————————————————————————————————Taylor Standridge's article “Counterfeit Verses: How to Spot The Sayings That Aren't in the Bible” appears in the latest issue of Faithful Steward, our quarterly magazine for FaithFi Partners.

Matthew 11:1-19 1 When Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their cities. 2 Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples 3 and said to him, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” 4 And Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: 5 the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers[a] are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. 6 And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.” 7 As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 8 What then did you go out to see? A man[b] dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. 9 What then did you go out to see? A prophet?[c] Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is he of whom it is written, “‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face,     who will prepare your way before you.' 11 Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence,[d] and the violent take it by force. 13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John, 14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come. 15 He who has ears to hear,[e] let him hear. 16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates, 17 “‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;     we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.' 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.' 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.”

Resolutions that Last with Taylor Standridge

A new year often inspires fresh resolve. We plan more carefully, set ambitious goals, and commit to making this time different. But year after year, many resolutions quietly fade—not because people lack sincerity, but because most change efforts rely on willpower alone.That's where a deeper, more biblical approach to change comes in.Today on Faith & Finance, I sat down with Taylor Standridge, Production Manager at FaithFi and lead writer of Our Ultimate Treasure and Look at the Sparrows, to explore why so many resolutions fail—and what Scripture reveals about change that truly lasts.Why Willpower Isn't EnoughTaylor explained that most resolutions fade because they're built on effort rather than formation.“Willpower is a limited resource,” Taylor said. “We assume that if we just try harder or become more disciplined, we'll finally become the person we want to be. But once motivation wears off, or life gets stressful, old patterns take over.”According to Taylor, the problem isn't that people set bad goals—it's that they try to change actions without addressing identity. Without a deeper shift in what we value and who we believe we are, even the best intentions eventually lose momentum.“We may change what we do for a while,” Taylor said, “but if we don't change the kind of person we're becoming, those changes won't last.”Behavior Change vs. Identity TransformationTaylor drew a helpful distinction between modifying behavior and experiencing true transformation.“Behavior change is about effort—showing up, pushing through, saying no,” he said. “But identity transformation reshapes our desires and motivations. It changes why we choose what we choose.”That's why FaithFi emphasizes the idea that behavior follows belief. When change focuses only on habits, goals often end once they're achieved. But when change is rooted in identity, it cultivates a way of life that continues beyond any milestone.“It's the difference between acting healthy and becoming the kind of person who naturally chooses health,” Taylor explained.How Identity Changes the Way We Set GoalsTo illustrate, Taylor pointed to health resolutions—one of the most common goals people set each year.“A behavior-based goal might be, ‘I want to lose 20 pounds,'” Taylor said. “That's fine—but once the weight is gone, the motivation often disappears.”An identity-based goal asks a deeper question: What kind of person do I want to become?“When someone says, ‘I want to honor God by caring for the body He's given me,' everything changes,” Taylor said. “Now the goal isn't just a number—it's a lifestyle.”Identity-driven goals last because they're rooted in purpose, not pressure.Applying Identity to Financial ResolutionsTaylor said this approach is especially powerful when applied to financial goals.“Let's say someone wants to pay off $20,000 in debt,” he said. “That's a great goal—but it becomes far more meaningful when it's rooted in identity.”Instead of focusing solely on eliminating debt, Taylor encouraged believers to frame their financial goals around stewardship.“When someone says, ‘I want to be a wise steward so I can live with freedom and give generously,' the goal becomes formative,” he explained. “That identity continues shaping decisions long after the debt is gone.”According to Taylor, identity-based stewardship influences spending, saving, giving, and long-term financial faithfulness—not just one year's resolution.Scripture Shows That Change Starts in the HeartTaylor pointed out that this inward-first approach isn't a modern idea—it's woven throughout Scripture.“God has always been after our hearts, not just our habits,” Taylor said. “Israel had clear commands, but having the law wasn't enough. Their hearts were unchanged, so their lives were unchanged.”That's why God promised to give His people a new heart and a new spirit. Taylor noted that Jesus echoed this truth when He taught that a tree is known by its fruit—what we produce flows from who we are.“God isn't impressed by performance alone,” Taylor said. “He desires people who trust Him and live out of that trust.”The Holy Spirit Makes Lasting Change PossibleTaylor emphasized that true transformation is not self-generated—it's Spirit-empowered.“External rules can restrain behavior, but they can't renew desires,” he said. “The new heart God gives doesn't just help us try harder—it reorders what we love.”Under the new covenant, believers don't rely on their own strength to change. Instead, the Holy Spirit reshapes desires and produces fruit like self-control, patience, and faithfulness.“These qualities are called the fruit of the Spirit for a reason,” Taylor said. “They grow naturally as we remain rooted in Christ.”As the new year begins, Taylor encouraged believers to start with prayerful reflection rather than immediate goal-setting.“Ask, ‘Lord, where are You inviting growth in my life?'” he said. “Pay attention to holy dissatisfaction—the places where God is gently nudging you toward change.”Taylor also encouraged seeking wisdom from Scripture and trusted believers, noting that identity is not something we invent, but something God forms in us.“The goal is alignment,” he said. “Not creating a new identity, but embracing the one God is already shaping through His Spirit.”Let Goals Flow from IdentityOnce identity is clear, Taylor said goals become expressions—not endpoints.“If you want to be a faithful steward, build practices that reflect that,” he said. “Budget, automate savings, grow in generosity. If you want to be healthier, choose routines that align with that identity.”Taylor emphasized the value of structure and measurable goals, noting that tools such as progress tracking and target-setting drive accountability. But he stressed that numbers should never become the foundation of change.“Goals can be reached. Circumstances can shift,” Taylor said. “Identity is what lasts.” In closing, Taylor offered a simple but powerful encouragement.“Start small. Trust the Holy Spirit. Focus on faithfulness, not perfection,” he said. “You're not pursuing change alone. The God who calls you to transformation walks with you and delights in your growth.”When resolutions flow from who God is shaping us to be, they don't just last for a year—they shape us for a lifetime.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I took out a Parent PLUS loan for my son years ago, and after falling behind, the balance has grown to about $20,000.

Are not the rich the ones who oppress you, and the ones who drag you into court? 7 Are they not the ones who blaspheme the honorable name by which you were called? 8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. 9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it. 11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. 13 For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

Taylor Standridge, production manager at FaithFi, is passionate about creating engaging content that makes an impact for the Kingdom of God. Taylor developed a love for radio in his early years which grew into a passion to see more Christian programming on radio and podcasting platforms. Today, Taylor has an extensive background in radio and media production, as well as a seminary degree from Dallas Theological Seminary which combines to create and deliver deeply impactful content, particularly in the generosity space.   As production manager, Taylor walks through the Faith and Finance radio program and podcast from beginning to end, as well as their one-minute program on 1900 signals across the nation, to share the message of God as our ultimate treasure. He's a frequent content creator for the FaithFi team and has much wisdom to share on many topics surrounding faith, generosity, and personal finance.   Major Topics Include: Taylor's discoveries about wealth in the Scriptures Approaching investing through a theological lens  Viewing every dollar as an opportunity to be generous A biblical view of eternal reward The “my value is in my money” identity crisis Practical steps for aligning your finances with the Kingdom Knowing God through Scripture for Kingdom-aligned financial decisions QUOTES TO REMEMBER “When it comes to managing money God's way, it's not just attaching a Bible verse to a financial principle and calling it biblical. But it's looking deeply at the story of the Bible and finding out what it has to say about money and how we relate to it.”  “I approach everything that comes through our accounts as belonging to the Lord and everything is an opportunity to be generous.” “We often think of eternal rewards as being merit based, but when we look at how God speaks about obedience in Scripture we realize that obedience is not our gift back to God, it's actually God's gift to us.” “It is God's grace that enables us to obey Him.” “If our ultimate treasure is not God Himself and we're more excited about what we'll get from Him, I think we're still fundamentally making the same mistake as worshiping money instead of Him.” “When we get to Heaven, I think we'll find that we didn't sacrifice at all, we simply let go of what was not eternal.” “God is our treasure. We utilize everything else as a tool to accomplish His purposes.” “Money promises us everything that God does, but doesn't deliver on any of them.” “If we realize that our ultimate value is in God, we don't see our money or assets as indicative of our value. But we recognize that we're so valuable that God Himself died on a cross for us.” “God doesn't need us, but He chooses to involve us in His work.” “I don't think you can understand God's heart for the world until you know God's story.” “Debt obligates you to the past and prevents you from opportunity for the future.” “Peace-of-mind and security should never come from money.” “Financial security is a feeling because God knows my needs more intimately than I do. And if He can feed people with manna from Heaven, I think I'll be fine.” “There's currently 22 trillion dollars worth of assets managed by Christians in this country.

James 1:2-18 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. 9 Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, 10 and the rich in his humiliation, because like a flower of the grass he will pass away. 11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits. 12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. 18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

How Our View of God Impacts Our Stewardship with Taylor Standridge

Billy Graham once said, “Tell me what you think about money, and I will tell you what you think about God, for these two are closely related.”In Jesus' Parable of the Talents, we see that stewardship isn't just about money—it's about how we view God. Today, Taylor Standridge joins me to explore how our image of God influences the way we give, spend, and live.Taylor Standridge is the Production Manager here at Faith and Finance, co-author of Look at the Sparrows, our 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and Anxiety, and a frequent contributor to our quarterly magazine, Faithful Steward, as well as other FaithFi studies and devotionals.Our View of God Shapes EverythingA.W. Tozer once wrote, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” This truth has enormous implications for stewardship. How we see God determines how we handle what He has entrusted to us.If we see Him as generous, trustworthy, and sovereign, we will hold our resources with open hands and joyful hearts, confident that He is both our provider and our treasure. But if we see Him as distant, demanding, or indifferent, we may fall into reluctant giving, fearful hoarding, or selfish spending.Stewardship is far more than budgets and giving—it is about trust, worship, and living in light of who we believe God to be. A distorted view of God is like setting sail with the wrong coordinates: you may move with confidence, but you'll end up in the wrong place.Lessons from the Parable of the TalentsIn Matthew 25, the tragedy of the third servant wasn't his lack of ability—it was his lack of trust. Believing his master to be a “hard man,” he buried what was given to him. His fear led to inaction.This parable isn't only about money. The “talents” represent everything God entrusts to us—time, relationships, opportunities, gifts, and resources. Faithful stewardship flows not from skill, but from trust. The first two servants stepped out boldly because they trusted their master's character. Their faith led to joy, not judgment: “Enter into the joy of your master.”The deeper warning is this: when we misjudge God's heart, we hold back. When we trust His goodness, we invest boldly for His Kingdom.Obedience as God's GiftMany believers think of obedience as something they give to God. But Scripture reminds us that even obedience is a gift of grace. “It is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose” (Phil. 2:13). He not only prepares good works for us (Eph. 2:10)—He empowers us to walk in them.This truth transforms stewardship from a burden into a blessing. We're not managing resources to prove ourselves; we're participating in the good works God has already prepared. Stewardship becomes a relational act of grace, not a transactional duty.The Sobering Warning—and the Joyful InvitationIn Matthew 7, Jesus warns that some will say, “Lord, Lord,” but hear Him reply, “I never knew you.” The issue wasn't activity—it was relationship. Faithful stewardship begins with knowing God as gracious, faithful, and abundantly generous.If you feel stuck or fearful—like the third servant—remember this: God isn't waiting to punish you. He invites you to trust Him. Start small. Ask Him to reshape your view, to see Him not as a harsh master, but as a loving Father.As 2 Timothy 1:7 declares, “God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” When we live from that truth, stewardship becomes delight, not duty. We don't just manage money; we step into joy, walking with the One who is our ultimate treasure.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm a retired senior and recently heard about the new $6,000 tax break.

About the Guest(s): Dr. Laura Standridge: Dr. Laura Standridge is a prominent functional chiropractor known for her expertise in pediatric neurological development and genetic disorders. She is board certified in neurofeedback and specializes in approaches that focus on neurodevelopmental assessments, particularly concerning mitochondrial function and primitive reflexes. Dr. Standridge has gained attention for her work with rare neurodegenerative disorders, particularly BPAN, following her son's diagnosis with the disease. Her professional journey is marked by a dedication to understanding and improving neurological health through innovative methods in functional and integrative healthcare. Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of Functional Health Radio, Dr. Kristin Hieshetter delves deep into the pressing health crises in America, revealing that the country's life expectancy has not only plateaued but declined for both men and women. Despite the high per capita healthcare expenditure, conditions like heart disease and cancer remain prevalent, and children are increasingly diagnosed with chronic diseases. The discussion transitions into a heartfelt narrative with Dr. Laura Standridge, a functional chiropractor passionately occupied with her son Laird's rare neurodegenerative disease known as BPAN (Beta-propeller Protein-Associated Neurodegeneration). BPAN, characterized by iron accumulation in the brain, is a daunting diagnosis for any family, but Dr. Standridge shares her proactive approach to defy the medical script of decline. Employing advanced genetic testing and leveraging her deep understanding of functional health principles, Dr. Standridge explores comprehensive interventions that have led to remarkable outcomes for Laird. From dietary adjustments to specialized neurodevelopmental therapies and state-of-the-art medical interventions, Dr. Standridge's narrative underscores a hopeful perspective—not only sharing insights about BPAN but also reflecting innovative applications of functional health practices. This episode highlights how a blend of cutting-edge science and compassionate care can write new chapters in health and wellness narratives. Key Takeaways: BPAN Disease Insight: BPAN is a rare neurodegenerative disorder that causes abnormal iron accumulation in the brain, significantly impairing mitochondrial function and autophagy. Unique Case of Laird: Laird defies the typical BPAN trajectory through a tailored combination of nutritional strategies, functional therapies, and mitochondrial enhancement techniques. Importance of Nutrition: Laird's diet, free of gluten and inflammatory foods, supports brain health by preventing autoimmune responses that can exacerbate neurological damage. Integrative Approaches: Utilization of genetic testing and innovative therapies, like low-level laser therapy, provides neuroprotective benefits and enhances Laird's quality of life. Collaborative Healthcare: Dr. Standridge exemplifies the power of interdisciplinary collaboration, uniting various specialists to support a functional health-driven roadmap for Laird. Notable Quotes: "We are walking around in the most amazing, intelligent, responsive, adapting and aware system in the world, the human. Let's bring it to its fullest potential." - Dr. Kristin Hieshetter "It doesn't matter what the label is…I'm much more interested in how you are functioning and not what somebody from the outside might call you." - Dr. Laura Standridge "We waited and we waited and we waited some more and finally received this diagnosis." - Dr. Laura Standridge "The brain is built on the postural system…and so there is this amazing order of neurological development whether you have a genetic difference or not." - Dr. Laura Standridge "Together, we'll be the change that we wish to see in the world." - Dr. Kristin Hieshetter Resources: Learn more about BPAN and related genetic testing at the CDC Vital Statistics Report: www.cdc.gov For insights into functional chiropractic care and Dr. Laura Standridge's approaches, visit Functional Health Mastery Stay informed with the World Economic Forum's health expenditure data: www.weforum.org Functional Health Mastery Group Listen to the full episode to dive deeper into the revolutionary approaches that Dr. Laura Standridge and Dr. Kristin Hieshetter share in tackling BPAN, and stay tuned for more inspiring stories and informative discussions on Functional Health Radio.

When the market dips, so does their peace.But Scripture offers a better way: “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God” (Psalm 20:7).If your peace mirrors the market, it may be a spiritual warning light. Scripture calls us to set our minds on things above, not on the volatility of our savings accounts.Why Our Mission at FaithFi MattersAt the core of FaithFi is a calling to help people glorify God through wise financial decisions. But our vision shapes how we do it: to see every Christian view God as their ultimate treasure.In Jesus's words during the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 6:21 tells us, "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Christian finance is about more than avoiding debt or giving to good causes. Those are great goals, but Jesus is calling us to something deeper: to reexamine what we treasure in the first place.It's not about giving more, it's about loving God more. That's why even the Pharisees, who gave plenty, were still rebuked—because their hearts weren't surrendered. When Christ becomes our greatest joy, giving becomes cheerful, not dutiful.The Daily Struggle: Trusting God or Trusting in WealthOne of the biggest struggles we see on the show frequently is the tension between trusting God and trusting in financial security.The culture says to get more and upgrade everything. But the gospel calls us to steward our resources for God's Kingdom. Ultimately, money can never define our worth—it can only serve as a tool when our identity is rooted in Christ.Wisdom Over Wealth: What Ecclesiastes Teaches UsThis book reminds us that wealth, possessions, and even success are fleeting. Apart from God, they're meaningless—just vapor, or ‘hevel' as Ecclesiastes puts it.But when we view money as a gift from God, not the goal, its purpose becomes clear. Ecclesiastes invites us to stop chasing what won't last and start investing in what will.That's why we're excited about the release of our latest study, Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money, authored by John Cortines. Ecclesiastes speaks so much to our modern struggles with wealth, showing us both the futility of placing our hopes in riches and the true path to a life grounded in God's wisdom. You'll find that this study will challenge you to rethink your relationship with money and inspire deeper trust in God's provision and sovereignty.To get your copy, you can either pre-order it at FaithFi.com/Shop or request a copy to be sent to you when you make a gift of $35 or more to the ministry of FaithFi at FaithFi.com/Give. Practical Tools for a Biblical Approach to FinancesFaithFi isn't just about biblical theory—it's about real-life application. There are several ways we equip people to live out God-honoring stewardship:The FaithFi App—A budgeting tool built on biblical values like generosity, margin, and contentment. It even includes a vibrant in-app community with Certified Christian Financial Counselors (CertCFCs) and Certified Kingdom Advisors (CKAs).  Radio + Podcast—Daily encouragement and wisdom for wherever you are on your financial journey. Devotionals & Studies—Tools like Look at the Sparrows and Wisdom Over Wealth are helping individuals and churches connect their faith and finances. Faithful Steward Magazine—A quarterly, beautifully designed resource full of rich theology, practical advice, and real-life encouragement—exclusively for FaithFi Partners.Join the Movement: Become a FaithFi PartnerThe best way to support FaithFi's work is to become a FaithFi Partner—someone who gives $35 a month or more, or at least $400 a year. In return, partners receive early access to our Bible studies and devotionals, full access to the FaithFi Pro App, and quarterly issues of Faithful Steward. But more importantly, they help millions of people discover how to treasure God above all else.If this vision resonates with you, visit FaithFi.com/Give and join us.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I want to know if charities have to follow minimum wage laws in Florida or the United States.I have about $130,000 between two IRAs, I owe about $125,000 on my mortgage, and about $15,000 on an auto loan.

Alan welcomes frequent guest and co-host Dr. Matt Standridge back to Very Dental. They dive into the evolving landscape of dental practice ownership, comparing traditional solo practices with the increasing prevalence of DSOs. The conversation explores the current incentives and hurdles for new dentists, the impact of rising dental school debt, and the practical aspects of introducing advanced procedures like aligner therapy and all-on-X implants into general practices.  They also touch on the phenomenon of influencer culture in dentistry and its implications. Mostly they just laugh about our absurd profession and how it continues to change.   Key Takeaways: Private practice ownership is becoming increasingly challenging due to factors like rising costs, insurance reimbursements, and patient expectations. The "one doctor, one owner" model may become less common, with more practices incorporating associates or transitioning to alternative models. Many young dentists are less driven by ownership and more interested in alternative career paths, including becoming a dental influencer. Overuse of all-on-X procedures is a concern, with potential for complications and ethical considerations. Orthodontic training, particularly with aligners, offers a high ROI and can improve overall dental skills. "Bread and butter" dentistry still has value and shouldn't be dismissed. Beware of "style over substance" in dentistry, particularly when it comes to advanced procedures. Mentorship (or "coaching") can be valuable, but find trusted sources.   Some links from the show: Matt's Instagram Matt's 3D Dentists bio/info 3D Dentists American Orthodontic Society CandidPro Aligners Episode Index: 01:24 Tom Hanks: The Yelling Actor 04:25 The Reality of Multiple Practices 09:53 The Future of Dental Practice Ownership 18:13 The Rise of Dental Influencers 22:25 Patient Preferences and Overuse of Procedures 30:38 Orthodontics as a Gateway to Advanced Dentistry 33:28 The Evolution of Dental Training and Technology 36:45 The Financial and Professional Pressures in Dentistry 38:49 The Role of Mentorship and Coaching in Dentistry Join the Very Dental Facebook group using the password "Timmerman," Hornbrook" or "McWethy," "Papa Randy" or "Lipscomb!"

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” - Matthew 6:24Serving two masters is not merely an economic or social concern but is profoundly spiritual. It touches on what it means to be a follower of Christ, challenging us to examine what truly governs our lives. Taylor Standridge joins us today to talk about it.Taylor Standridge is the Production Director of FaithFi: Faith & Finance and the co-author of Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and Anxiety.Overcoming Financial Anxiety with FaithMany struggle with financial worries—bills, job security, or retirement savings—leading to sleepless nights and constant stress and anxiety. Look at the Sparrows addresses these concerns by guiding readers through biblical teachings that reveal a path to peace. It emphasizes that true security doesn't come from money but from trusting in God's provision and grace. This 21-day devotional reminds us of God's love and His role as our ultimate source of security.Serving God vs. Serving MoneyOne key theme in Look at the Sparrows is the contrast between serving God and serving money, inspired by Jesus's teachings in Matthew 6. While not inherently bad, money often represents worldly values like wealth, power, and status that can draw us away from God. The devotional encourages readers to recognize that money is a tool—a good gift from God to be used for His purposes. However, if we believe money can provide the security and identity that only God offers, it can become a form of idolatry that distracts us from a life centered on faith.Larry Burkett put it well:“The love of money is a form of idol worship, just as surely as the worship of pagan images. It is not the money that is the problem; it's the attitude toward it.”The Bible has 2,350 verses about money and stewardship because money often competes with God for our trust and loyalty. Ecclesiastes 5:10 is a stark reminder for all who are chasing after wealth's promise of satisfaction: “He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity.” - Ecclesiastes 5:10Pursuing wealth always leaves people empty, while a life focused on God's provision leads to true fulfillment.Danger Signs You May Be Serving MoneyThe devotional offers practical guidance to help believers identify when money might be taking priority over God:Prioritizing Work Over God: If making money takes precedence over nurturing your relationship with God or serving others, it may be a sign that money has become an idol. Pastor Josh Teis puts it well: “If rest feels like a sin, work is an idol.”Never Feeling Satisfied: Constantly wanting more and never feeling content with what you have can indicate that money holds too much power in your life.Reluctance to Give Generously: If giving feels like a burden or you struggle to be generous, it may reflect an unhealthy attachment to money and a lack of trust in God's provision.Shifting from a Scarcity Mindset to AbundanceThe “scarcity mindset” often underlies financial anxiety. Scarcity can lead us to focus on our own needs, creating envy and conflict. Yet, Scripture calls us to a different approach—one of generosity and trust in God's abundance. As Paul teaches in Philippians 2:3, we are to “count others more significant than ourselves,” living with a spirit of selflessness.Jesus exemplifies this mindset in stories like The Feeding of the 5,000 (Matthew 14:13-21), where He provided for the crowd's immediate needs and did so with abundance, leaving twelve baskets of leftovers. This act of generosity illustrates God's ability to exceed expectations, reminding us that His provision is more than enough.In times of financial stress, Look at the Sparrows invites readers to trust God's endless generosity and shift their perspective from scarcity to abundance. As we align our hearts with this truth, we open ourselves to a life where we see God as the ultimate provider and experience the joy and peace that come from His love.How to Get a Copy of Look at the SparrowsIf you want to transform your approach to money through faith and find peace in God's provision, you can request a copy of Look at the Sparrows by making a gift of $25 or more at FaithFi.com/sparrows.

“​​Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” - Matthew 6:26God has promised to provide, and He is ever faithful. Knowing that is one thing; believing and living by it is another. Taylor Standridge and Chad Clark join us today to launch a brand new tool to help you overcome financial fear and anxiety. Taylor Standridge and Chad Clark (along with Carolyn Calupca) are the authors of the new FaithFi devotional “Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and Anxiety.” Chad Clark is also the Executive Director of FaithFi: Faith & Finance, and Taylor Standridge is the Production Director of FaithFi: Faith & Finance. Why This Devotional is So ImportantAt FaithFi, we're excited to introduce a brand new resource, Look at the Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and Anxiety. This devotional, authored by Taylor Standridge and Chad Clark, with contributions from Carolyn Calupca, addresses one of the most pressing issues many people face today—financial anxiety. This resource is designed to guide you through the challenges of financial fear, helping you find peace and rest in God's promises.Financial anxiety is a struggle that many people face daily. Whether it's on the Faith and Finance radio program, through our app, or in our community, we hear about it all the time. Financial anxiety isn't just about the numbers in your bank account; it runs much deeper, often affecting us on a spiritual level. This devotional was born out of a desire to help people recognize the root of their financial anxieties and to offer practical, biblical solutions that lead to peace.The Structure of the DevotionalThe devotional is beautifully structured into seven sections, each containing three devotionals. Each section begins with a portion of Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, and the following devotionals build on that theme. The sections cover topics like "You Can't Serve God and Money," "Don't Be Anxious About Your Life," and "Seek First the Kingdom of God."But this devotional is more than just a daily reading. It invites you to engage deeply with the content. Each day includes a Scripture passage, a devotional reflection, questions for deeper thought, a guided prayer, and a pivotal truth to ponder throughout the day. By the end of the 21 days, you'll have memorized Matthew 6:19-34, grounding you in God's Word as you navigate your financial journey.The Design Behind the DevotionalThe design of Look at the Sparrows is as thoughtful as its content. We wanted the design to reflect the experience of financial anxiety and the hope that God offers. The black-and-white theme symbolizes the darkness of fear, while a pop of gold represents both worldly treasure and the eternal hope we find in God. This design is intended to draw you into the devotional, helping you to focus on the themes of treasure, trust, and God's provision.Experiencing Peace Through Trust in GodOne of the key messages of this devotional is learning to trust God with your finances, freeing yourself from the grip of anxiety. We often try to control our financial future, but real peace comes when we trust that God knows our needs better than we do. This devotional encourages you to see God as your ultimate treasure, helping you to release your worries and rest in His provision.How to Get StartedWe invite you to dive into Look at the Sparrows and experience the transformation that comes from focusing on God's promises.

Join us on this 21-day journey, and let God transform your perspective on finances and life.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a question about some faith-based brokerage firms. Many larger, more nationally known firms have a broader spectrum of offerings. I'm wondering if you know of one or where I could find information on one that might be better aligned with faith-based investing or more of a morally conservative values approach in many of their products.My husband is considering retiring in a couple of years, but we just realized that his life insurance is with his job, and we don't have any outside of that. Usually, it is a lot more expensive when you search for it outside of your employer. I'd like to see what other options we have. He was just diagnosed with a health condition that would definitely affect his getting life insurance right now.Resources Mentioned:Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyList of Faith-Based Investment FundsRich 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.
