For many people, contentment feels just out of reach—always tied to the next raise, the next purchase, or the next season of life. Yet Scripture calls us to something deeper and more lasting: a contentment that doesn't depend on circumstances but rests in Christ Himself.Psalm 23 begins with a stunning declaration:“The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.” — Psalm 23:1 (NLT)David's words remind us that contentment doesn't come from acquiring more but from trusting the One who provides. Just as sheep rest securely under the care of their shepherd, we can rest in God's faithful provision.True contentment isn't about suppressing desire—it's about redirecting it. When we find sufficiency in Christ rather than in money, possessions, or achievements, we're freed from the trap of covetousness and anchored in the truth that in Him, we already have all we truly need.The Ancient Lie of DiscontentmentDiscontentment has plagued humanity from the beginning. In Eden, Adam and Eve had everything they needed, yet the serpent's lie convinced them they lacked something essential. Discontentment still whispers, “God is holding out on you—you'd be better off if you had more.”Today, that same voice is amplified through advertising, social media, and cultural comparison. We scroll through highlight reels and feel our lives don't measure up. But Hebrews 13:5 offers the antidote:“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.'”The cure for discontentment isn't having more—it's remembering that God is always with us.The Freedom of “Enough”Contentment is not resignation—it's liberation. It frees us from envy, overspending, and the crushing weight of comparison. Instead of striving endlessly for more, we learn to steward wisely what God has entrusted to us.Proverbs 30:8–9 captures this balanced perspective beautifully:“Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me…”The wise steward seeks enough—not excess. When we live this way, our financial decisions change. We spend with purpose. We give with joy. We save with peace. Contentment reorients money from being our master to being a tool for God's Kingdom.Think of the widow of Zarephath in 1 Kings 17. With only a handful of flour and a little oil left, she faced famine. Yet when Elijah asked her to make him a cake first, she trusted God's word—and He provided, not with overflowing barns, but with daily sufficiency.Or consider the Macedonian believers in 2 Corinthians 8. Paul wrote,“In a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity.”Despite having little, they gave with glad hearts because their contentment was in Christ, not in their circumstances.These examples remind us that contentment and generosity often go hand in hand. When we are satisfied in Christ, we're free to bless others.Trusting the God Who ProvidesAt the heart of contentment is trust. Jesus said in Matthew 6:25–26,“Do not be anxious about your life… 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?”Contentment flows from believing that God knows what we need and delights to provide for His children. As Elisabeth Elliot once wrote, “The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances.”When Christ becomes our treasure, everything else finds its proper place.That's why Paul could say in 1 Timothy 6:6:“Godliness with contentment is great gain.”Contentment isn't a loss—it's true gain. It's the kind of wealth no market downturn can erase and no thief can steal. Choosing contentment doesn't mean settling for less; it means resting in the sufficiency of Christ.When we stop chasing “more” and start trusting God's daily provision, we discover freedom, peace, and joy. That's the essence of faithful stewardship—not just managing money, but aligning our hearts with the One who promises, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I own several rental properties and would like to leave one to each of my children. I still want to collect the rental income, but I'd like to avoid probate and ensure a smooth transition when I pass away. How can I set up a trust to do that, and what's the best way to move forward?I got divorced in my mid-50s and had to start over from scratch. I'm now 66 with a little over $37,000 in my 401(k), which I'm eligible to roll over into an IRA. I'd really like to invest that money through a biblically based firm, but most of the ones I've contacted require a minimum investment of $50,000. Do you have any suggestions? And how can I build my savings over the next four years? $37,000 won't last long.I'm retired, and my husband will be retiring soon. We don't have a lot saved, but he does have a 401(k) through work. We're unsure what to do with it or how to ensure we'll have enough to live on in retirement. Can you help us think through the next steps?I work with students, and I've offered to invest $4,000, allowing them to choose some stocks to learn how investing works. Since I'll keep the money but let them make the decisions, what's the best way to buy individual stocks for this kind of project?My daughter's credit score is around 625, and she's committed to improving it. My score is over 800, and I've heard that adding her as an authorized user on my credit card could help her. Can you explain how that works and whether it could affect either of our credit scores?I feel completely lost when it comes to finances, but I want to set my family up for success. Can you recommend a reliable resource or starting point for learning the basics of managing money wisely?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Open Hands FinanceFidelity | Charles Schwab | Robinhood | Public | Stash | SoFi InvestYour Money Counts: The Biblical Guide to Earning, Spending, Saving, Investing, Giving, and Getting Out of Debt by Howard DaytonMaster Your Money: A Step-by-Step Plan for Experiencing Financial Contentment by Ron Blue with Michael BlueRedeeming Money: How God Reveals and Reorients Our Hearts by Paul David TrippMoney, Possessions, and Eternity: A Comprehensive Guide to What the Bible Says about Financial Stewardship, Generosity, Materialism, Retirement, Financial Planning, Gambling, Debt, and More by Randy AlcornWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Ever look at a bookkeeping quote and think, “Why does this cost so much?”

Money is never just about dollars and cents. It's a window into our hearts, a test of our faith, and even a testimony to the world.Few people have taught that truth more faithfully than Ron Blue. Today, he'll share lessons from his own journey—from Wall Street to biblical stewardship—and explain how our approach to finances transforms us and our relationships with others.Ron Blue is a financial teacher, author, and co-founder of Kingdom Advisors. He has helped countless Christians apply biblical wisdom to their finances and is best known for his bestselling book, Master Your Money: A Step-by-Step Plan for Financial Contentment.From Wall Street to Biblical WisdomRon began his career on Wall Street, later founding his own accounting firm and advising countless entrepreneurs and professionals. But everything changed when he became a Christian and encountered the teachings of Larry Burkett and Howard Dayton. He came to realize that everything that worked in the financial world had its roots in biblical wisdom.For more than forty years, he's witnessed God's redemptive work through money—seeing firsthand how financial decisions reveal the heart and become a powerful entry point for spiritual growth.As the late Billy Graham once said, “When you get your attitude about money right, the rest of life tends to fall into place.”Money Reveals the HeartRon often quotes Larry Burkett's insight that how we handle money is one of the clearest indicators of our spiritual life.Every purchase, every act of giving, every financial habit reflects what—and whom—we trust most.The first and most foundational lesson Ron has seen believers embrace is this: God owns everything.Once that truth takes root, everything changes. We move from ownership to stewardship, from anxiety to contentment, from control to trust. Those who live as stewards tend to develop an eternal perspective—knowing where their true security lies.When couples discuss money openly within that framework, communication strengthens and unity deepens. Money becomes not a barrier but a bridge to a deeper connection.Learning How Much Is “Enough”One of Ron's signature teachings centers on answering the question: How much is enough?Defining financial “finish lines” for lifestyle and accumulation frees believers from endless striving. It helps them determine when to give more, save less, and live joyfully within God's provision. From a worldly view, enough is never enough—but from God's view, it is both possible and freeing.When we truly believe that God owns everything, our financial goals shift. We seek margin—the space to give, serve, and respond to God's call.Money itself isn't the goal—it's a tool to accomplish God's purposes. Whether it's how we educate our children, give to ministry, or plan for the future, the question becomes: How can these resources advance God's Kingdom?When people look at us, they shouldn't see someone better, but someone different—different priorities, values, and goals.When Couples Don't See Eye to EyeNot every couple starts on the same page financially. Ron has seen how honoring the marriage covenant sometimes means yielding financial preferences for the sake of peace and witness. In one case, advising a believing wife to honor her unbelieving husband's wishes about tithing led to that husband's eventual openness to Christ.Even in his own marriage, Ron and his wife, Judy, have relied on third-party counsel to strengthen their communication—reminding couples that it's not their money, but God's money.Money as a Test and a TestimonyFor Ron, money serves three purposes: it's a tool, a test, and a testimony. God often uses money to build our faith because it serves as a test of our trust. But it's also a testimony. Contentment, generosity, and peace in financial life point the world to the sufficiency of Christ. In a culture driven by comparison and consumption, a believer who lives joyfully and contentedly becomes a living witness of God's faithfulness.If we can demonstrate contentment, confidence, peace, and joy, the world will notice—and wonder why. Money even becomes a testimony to the next generation as children watch their parents live open-handedly and find joy in biblical stewardship.When you view money as God's tool, test, and testimony, it reshapes not just your finances—but your faith, marriage, and legacy.Money is a great servant but a terrible master. When we surrender ownership to God, we discover the true freedom of stewardship—peace, purpose, and joy that outlast every market cycle.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 59 and planning to retire next year. My wife is already retired, and thankfully, our home and vehicles are paid off. We also have a few rental properties that are nearly paid for. My question is—when should I start taking Social Security? And regarding our pensions and investments, should I consider rolling them out of our company plans into something else?My son is thinking about filing for bankruptcy. He has quite a bit of debt—not just credit cards—and I'm worried about what bankruptcy would do to his credit and how long it would take him to rebuild. He hopes to buy a home in the near future. What are his options to avoid bankruptcy, and if he does file, how can he begin to recover his credit?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Master Your Money: A Step-by-Step Plan for Experiencing Financial Contentment by Ron Blue with Michael BlueWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

"If your business feels unpredictable, nine times out of ten you're not strategic planning," says Dr. Erica. - **Run the Numbers:** Understand your pricing, adjust as needed, and calculate how many clients you need to hit your monthly targets. Whether your service is priced at $1K or $10K, the math reveals the pathway to success. - **Focus on Strategy:** Prioritize your efforts by identifying how many prospects you need to engage weekly to hit your goals. Dr. Erica explains, "With a 20% conversion rate, you need five calls to land one client. Now, it's about focusing your energy on booking those calls." Dr. EJT also highlights the importance of unwavering belief in your goals, building community, and investing in growth. Entrepreneurship isn't a solo journey—surround yourself with like-minded individuals and take intentional steps to scale effectively.

In today's episode of The Career Confidence Podcast, I'm joined by Lisa Reynolds, Managing Director of ioda, a learning and development provider that focuses on not just developing their learners' knowledge, skills and behaviours to make them better at their job, but also to help them grow as a person. Lisa gives us an insight into her rather unique career path, her passion for diversity, equity and inclusion, and what it really takes to be an inclusive leader. We also talk about the power of apprenticeships, busting the myth that they are just for school leavers and how you can potentially access an apprenticeship to support your own learning and development.

We're going full scientist mode today, because Jonah Rosner is back on the show.If you don't know Jonah, he's the applied sport scientist who went from the Houston Texans to the streets of Brooklyn, translating lab data into PRs for everyday runners.He's walked the talk—he ran 2:57:22 at the Chicago Marathon on October 13, 2024—and he's been on a tear since on social media. He has unpacked what 99% of runners are missing, and then he dropped a durability framework with Stryd (plus a free 10-week plan) to help you fade less and finish stronger in races.In June he launched Brooklyn Running Company's Beginner's Pre-Run Fuel Playbook to make pre-run nutrition stupid-simple. Jonah continued breaking down exactly how he used caffeine to run 2:57, and expanded the fueling playbook with a Science in Sport piece on in-race carbs.If you coach, this is a blueprint you can deploy this week. If you're building for a fall race, this is the clarity you've been hunting: what to measure, what to ignore and what to change by your next long run.Grab a notebook. By the end, you'll have a simple checklist to move the ceiling on your performance—and a plan to chip away at it, session by session.Let's get surgical about speed.Tap into the Jonah Rosner Special.  If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-BUY MERCH BEFORE IT'S GONE: https://shop.therunningeffect.run-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run

She helps managers step up from doing the work to leading the team, without burning out or losing their best people. Her work focuses on practical coaching skills that make everyday conversations more impactful, even when time is short.

Managers should actively resist the impulse to fix problems and instead encourage team members to find their own solutions.

A growing bank balance doesn't always mean a healthy business.

If your traffic fell off a cliff after recent Google updates and AI answers, you're not alone—especially if you're a recipe, YMYL (Your Money or Your Life), or niche blogger who used to win with long posts and ads. But SEO isn't dead—it's evolved. In my latest Blogger Genius Podcast episode, I'm talk to SEO strategist, Steven Schneider, who breaks down exactly how creators can still win in 2025: build visible authority, earn strategic backlinks, improve UX, and shift revenue toward newsletters and products. Show Notes: MiloTree Free Plan Steven Schneider 6 Purchasing Triggers Test Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes YouTube Spotify The Problem Creators Are Facing in 2025 AI is answering queries and compressing clicks—brutal for “quick-answer” niches like recipes. Google is rewarding authority (E-E-A-T) and punishing thin UX (endless scroll, intrusive ads, fluff). Old playbooks (publish more posts, stuff in keywords, hope for ad RPM) don't move the needle. Solution in a sentence: Treat search like a brand + authority channel, not a traffic lottery. Build proof of expertise on every page, earn real mentions/links, and turn all attention into owned audiences and product revenue. What's Working Now (According to Steven) 1) Authority > everything Add clear E-E-A-T signals on every post and key page (not just your About page): Real author byline + headshot 2–3 credential links (culinary school, certifications, LinkedIn) Awards/press mentions (linked) Concise author bio block on each post This helps Google and readers trust that a human expert wrote it. 2) Backlinks with intent (no spray-and-pray) Guest on podcasts (links in show notes = high-quality, relevant). Offer expert quotes to other bloggers/journalists; pitch quick 2–3 sentence tips they can drop in with a link. Vary anchor text (brand, URL, topical phrases) and use reciprocal links sparingly. Paying for “time” vs “links” is a gray area—be selective and ethical. 3) UX that respects the reader Stop the 4,000-word detours; give the answer fast and add optional depth. Keep one H1 per page, logical H2/H3s, strong internal linking, and basic schema hygiene. Recipes/how-to: lead with the steps; put the story below. 4) BOFU content (not just top-of-funnel) Steven's agency prioritizes bottom-of-funnel, high-intent topics that convert to leads or sales—because SEO must tie to revenue. 5) Newsletter > ad RPM Clicks are down, but email still converts. Build a free newsletter, nurture weekly, and sell your own offers (ebooks, mini-courses, templates, memberships). 7-Step Action Plan (Do this in the next 14 days) Add E-E-A-T blocks site-wide Byline, headshot, 2–3 credential links, “Reviewed by” where relevant. Fix on-page structure One H1, clean headings, scannable sections, strong internal links among related posts. Create one “wow” asset (lead magnet or calculator) Examples: Gluten-free flour swap chart (instant, high-value) Meal-prep planner (fillable PDF) ROI/Cost calculator (tools get links + emails) Pitch 10 podcasts in your niche Offer 3 topic angles, a short bio, and a value-packed outline; request a site link in show notes. Run a “quote outreach” sprint Identify 25 relevant posts; email the author a ready-to-paste 2–3 sentence expert tip + your preferred link target (vary anchors). Publish 3 BOFU posts Bottom-of-funnel queries aligned to your product (e.g., “Meal-prep templates,” “Gluten-free baking guide PDF,” “One-hour blogging audit”). Launch or revive your newsletter Weekly format: 1 tip, 1 tool, 1 template. Soft-pitch your product/freebie in each send. Make This Easy (and Free) with MiloTree With the MiloTree Free Plan, you can: Sell one digital product (ebook, template, workshop replay) Offer a freebie/lead magnet with automatic delivery Add a social pop-up to grow followers while you sleep Spin up AI-generated pages (sales + opt-in) in minutes

Karl Vaters talks with Luke Simmons, the pastor of Ironwood Church in Mesa, AZ. Recently, Luke and his church elders decided to pursue a very ambitious goal with the aim of helping their large, growing congregation feel smaller and more connected.As a big-church pastor, Luke is not a typical Church Lobby guest, but he and Karl follow each other on X (formerly Twitter) and when Luke posted about this plan it inspired a lot of questions and curiosity. The plan is for the members of their elder team to have one-on-one meetings with 1,000 church members over coffee or a meal this coming year.If those numbers make you feel like this isn't for you, give it a chance. Luke has a heart for people, and he's interested in how to set numerical goals that help us reach non-numerical objectives of discipleship, fellowship, and service.Links:Luke's original X post about elder meeting goalsLuke's original X post about doing one-on-one meetingsFaithful and FruitfulTim Keller on Leadership and Church Size DynamicsDarrell Stetler's Sermon IllustratorFollow Luke on XIronwood ChurchBonus videoHow To Conduct An Annual Leadership Meeting, with Luke SimmonsKarl Vaters talks with Luke Simmons about some of the steps he follows to gain as much as possible from an annual leadership meeting with his church elders.

MigrationWatch #IllegalMigration #UKBorders #AlpMehmet #JonGaunt #ImmigrationCrisis Britain is facing an immigration crisis – and it's about to get worse, warns Alp Mehmet, Chairman of Migration Watch UK. In this explosive interview with Jon Gaunt, Alp – himself an immigrant – says diversity is our weakness, not our strength, and that mass immigration is turning the UK into an Island of Strangers. From Tony Blair's open-border legacy to Keir Starmer's refusal to leave the ECHR, Alp argues that our political leaders have no real plan to secure Britain's borders. He dismisses the Macron “one in, one out” deal as pointless and reveals:

If you want to hire and keep the best, you need to create a place they want to work. That means strong leadership, a healthy culture, constant hiring, proper training, and never settling for “just a warm body.” The truth is, they don't leave due to money, they're leaving bad bosses, toxic coworkers, and workplaces that don't value them. In this video, we'll cover the mistakes small business owners make when hiring, how to build a reputation that attracts talent, and why appreciation and development matter more than you think. Stop blaming the labor market! It's time to become the place everyone wants to work. -----------------------------   CONTACT ME:

Are You Winning a Game You Secretly Hate? This episode confronts a fear greater than failure: the fear of achieving success in a life you don't actually want. Anchored by a philosopher's poignant quote, Randy and Greg dissect the "wrong ladder" syndrome—the common trap of chasing societal or familial expectations at the expense of personal fulfillment and joy. They share deeply personal stories about climbing the corporate ladder, parental influence, and the courage it takes to pivot. Listeners will learn the importance of self-awareness, defining their own version of success, and practical, actionable steps to transition from a life of regret to one of purpose and time freedom. Key Takeaways: The greatest fear isn't failure, but succeeding at a game you never wanted to play. It takes immense courage to first recognize you're on the wrong ladder, and even more to choose a different one. Parental influence, whether direct or indirect, can unknowingly set you on a path that isn't true to yourself. True success often lies in consistency and enjoying the process, not just in the speed of achievement. Acceptance of your current situation is not giving up; it's establishing the necessary starting point for a meaningful pivot. A practical 3-step plan for leaving a life you don't want involves: 1) Focusing on personal development, 2) Getting your finances in order, and 3) Setting a firm date to make a change. Gratitude for what you've already accomplished can alleviate the anxiety of constantly striving for more   Questions Answered in This Episode: What is the one fear that is more important than the fear of failure? How do you recognize if you are "climbing the wrong ladder" in your career or life? What are the consequences of chasing a version of success that isn't your own? How can parental expectations influence your life path without you realizing it? What practical steps can you take today to start leaving a job or life you're unhappy with? Why is "acceptance" a powerful tool for change, not a sign of giving up? What is the true secret to long-term success if it isn't just about speed? How can gratitude help manage the anxiety of needing to achieve more?   Key People, Concepts, & Terms: People: Randy Wilson, Greg Junge, Bronnie Ware, Gary Vaynerchuk, Jim Rohn, Earl Nightingale, Steve Jobs.

Ron Blue joins us to unpack biblical principles that lead to flourishing, not through formulas, but through faithfulness.Ron Blue is the co-founder of Kingdom Advisors and the author of numerous books on biblical finance, most notably "Master Your Money: A Step-by-Step Plan for Experiencing Financial Contentment."Flourishing Begins with a Different FoundationAs followers of Christ, we're not simply aiming for a better life—we're called to a different one. A life that flourishes isn't measured by worldly success, but by alignment with God's design. When we understand that, everything changes.The life God created for each of us is unique. When we live according to His wisdom, we flourish—not because we have more, but because we are living as He intended. Flourishing means experiencing contentment that doesn't depend on circumstances. We don't need money to be content. We don't need approval to feel secure. Why? Because we are fully loved by the God who promises never to leave us or forsake us.Stewardship Is the Starting PointIf we want to flourish, we must begin with stewardship. Everything we have—our time, talents, relationships, money—comes from God. He owns it all. We're not owners; we're managers. When we recognize that, we stop living for ourselves and start using every resource for His glory. That includes how we spend, give, save, and even how we relate to others.Generosity Marks a Flourishing LifeA flourishing life is a generous life. When God's Word shapes us, we become generous with our time, with our finances, and with every resource entrusted to us. Generosity is not something we manufacture—it's a byproduct of spiritual transformation. And it runs counter to the culture around us, which tells us to hold tightly to what we have. Instead, we hold everything with open hands.We Live with IntegrityThe Bible speaks often about deceit and greed—two things that will always rob us of flourishing. When we live according to God's wisdom, we pursue integrity and honesty in every area of life. Proverbs offers constant guidance on living truthfully, avoiding dishonest gain, and practicing righteousness in our dealings. Flourishing is tied closely to living a life of character.We Live with PurposeWe're not here by accident. God placed us in this time and place for a reason. Our lives are temporary, but they're filled with eternal purpose. We're living today with heaven in view. Flourishing means recognizing that this life is preparation for eternity with our Lord. It means embracing the mission He's given us and making every decision with the long view in mind.When we step back and look at the big picture, we realize what a privilege it is to manage what God has entrusted to us. Stewardship isn't a burden—it's an invitation. An invitation to participate in His Kingdom work. An invitation to trust Him. An invitation to live a life that truly flourishes.Let's remember: God owns it all. We are stewards. And we get to use His resources for His glory. That is the foundation of a flourishing life.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm considering a 0% financing offer and could pay it off within 12 to 18 months—but I'm also able to pay the full amount upfront. Which option makes better financial sense?I'm planning to take paid maternity leave, but I don't intend to return to the company afterward. I'm struggling with whether this is the right thing to do and would love some guidance.My son and daughter-in-law recently sold a tiny house that we helped them build. They're returning the money we put into it—are there any tax implications or other issues we should be aware of?We're updating our kitchen by painting cabinets and making some interior improvements. We can pay it off in 6 to 12 months, but should we use a HELOC, take out a home equity loan, or borrow from our investment savings?I've heard that a trust can help avoid probate, but I have a testamentary trust, and the courthouse says my property will still go through probate. What's the difference?I'm exploring a dynasty trust to protect assets for future generations, and I'm also interested in a charitable remainder trust to help with capital gains taxes. Is there a way to combine these strategies effectively?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Michael Savage presents a seven-step plan for world peace. He emphasizes seven universal moral principles based on biblical teachings: belief in God, respect the Creator, respect human life, respect the family, respect the rights and property of others, respect God's creatures, and respect the law. Savage argues that these principles transcend geographic and religious boundaries and are essential for creating a moral and ethical world. He advocates for an approach that respects all religions and promotes acceptance, tolerance, and peace. He also highlights the importance of fathers as the 'house band' in families, urging them to embrace their roles and responsibilities.
