We live in a world where connection is everywhere—our notifications buzz with likes, comments, and DMs. And yet, why does it still feel like something's missing? Why do we scroll through highlight reels, surrounded by digital admiration, yet still feel unseen at the end of the day?   Here's what we rarely admit: we don't need more people in our lives; we need deeper connections. The type of connections where you can be yourself—messy bun, tired eyes, no filters—and feel confident in being loved. The kind where you're not performing or proving, just existing—and that's enough.   Today, let's drop the pressure and talk about genuine relationships. The kind that refreshes your soul instead of draining it. Because you don't just deserve friendships—you were made for them. So, let's dig in and find the ones that remind you that you belong.

“Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” - Psalm 82:3–4As followers of Christ, we're called to advocate for the vulnerable and protect the oppressed. One of the most urgent needs today is among girls and young women in Lebanon. May-Lee Melki joins us with a powerful story of hope and a way you can make a difference. ​May-Lee Melki is a Lebanese-American advocate, legal scholar, and ministry leader dedicated to advancing justice and holistic transformation in the Middle East. She serves as the Strategic Engagement Manager at Heart for Lebanon, an underwriter of Faith and Finance.The Crisis Behind the HeadlinesIn a society shaped by shame-and-honor dynamics, without a biblical understanding of human dignity, refugee girls—especially Bedouin and Kurdish—are often seen as burdens or liabilities. Add to that multiple wars, a collapsed economy, and weak legal protections, and the danger becomes tragically clear: girls are exploited because they're seen as expendable.But Heart for Lebanon is stepping in not just to rescue—but to prevent. That may sound counterintuitive until you hear stories like Ferial's—a grandmother who joined a literacy class to model a different future for her granddaughters. After coming to know Christ through Heart for Lebanon, she said, “I can't change what happened to my daughters, but I can change the future for my granddaughters.”Prevention means investing in the whole family unit. It means addressing spiritual, emotional, and physical needs by offering:Christian counseling in their native languageNon-formal education programs that integrate biblical valuesSafe, holistic discipleship environments for moms, dads, and childrenCommunity development rooted in the GospelOne of the most moving examples is Alima, a 10-year-old enrolled in Heart for Lebanon's Hope Education Program. Her mother, under cultural and financial pressure, began pushing Alima to abandon school and enter into marriage. But because of the truth Alima had learned through Heart for Lebanon—truth about Jesus and her God-given worth—she found the courage to push back.Her bold faith not only protected her from child marriage but, through prayer and persistence, led to her mother's salvation as well. This is the ripple effect of prevention-centered ministry.Real Change Through Holistic MinistryThe key to sustainable impact is community transformation. The goal isn't to isolate and remove girls from danger—which can sometimes cause more trauma—but to reshape families and communities from within through Gospel truth. When fathers, uncles, and guardians are discipled alongside mothers and daughters, entire cultural norms begin to shift.That's what Heart for Lebanon is doing every day—breaking cycles of violence and shame with the hope of Jesus.Heart for Lebanon is inviting the Faith & Finance family to join them in this mission. A gift of $114 helps reach and protect three at-risk girls, offering them education, protection, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.You can give by:Texting “FAITH” to 98656Visiting FaithFi.com/LebanonOur shared goal?

If you've been dealing with chronic back pain or sciatica, chances are you've been told to do yoga or stretch more- but what if I told you that's NOT the solution? In this video, I break down why stretching alone won't fix chronic back pain and what you also need to be doing to get long-term relief.The truth is, back pain is more complex than just "tight muscles." You need a strategy that focuses on strength, movement patterns, and overall body mechanics, not just temporary relief from stretching.

Taxes. They're not the most exciting part of running a business, but they're unavoidable. If tax season snuck up on you and you're staring down a bill you can't pay, don't panic, we've got you covered!  In this episode, Danielle Hayden, CPA and founder of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., walks you through what to do when you can't pay your IRS tax bill. From filing your return (even if you can't pay right away) to exploring payment plan options, Danielle breaks it down with practical strategies to take control of your finances and stay out of trouble with the IRS. Key Takeaways:  Step 1 - Don't Ignore the Problem: Avoiding your tax bill only makes things worse. The IRS can impose serious penalties, so taking action right away is crucial. Always File Your Tax Return, Even If You Can't Pay in Full: The failure-to-file penalty is significantly higher than the failure-to-pay penalty. Filing on time helps minimize extra costs. Step 2 - Pay What You Can: Some payment is better than none. Put the amount of money towards the tax bill you can afford, and begin assessing the options available to you to pay the remaining balance.  Step 3 - Evaluate Your Payment Options: The IRS offers short-term and long-term payment plans, often at lower interest rates than credit cards or loans.  Weigh Your Financing Choices Carefully: Compare the IRS interest rate (around 8%) with other options like credit cards or personal loans to determine the most cost-effective way to pay your tax bill. Bonus Tips: Plan Ahead to Avoid Future Tax Surprises: Set aside money regularly for taxes, pay estimated taxes quarterly, and use financial statements to track your tax liability. Have a "Money Team": Having a trusted bookkeeper and tax accountant working together can help you stay ahead of tax season and avoid stressful surprises. Topics Discussed: Why You Shouldn't Ignore Your Tax Bill (00:02:08 – 00:03:06) Filing Your Tax Return vs. Waiting Until You Can Pay (00:02:36 – 00:06:43) IRS Payment Plans and Evaluating All Financing Options (00:07:36 - 00:08:04) Smart Strategies to Avoid This Situation in the Future (00:08:04 – 00:11:17) The Importance of a "Money Team" (aka a bookkeeper and tax accountant) (00:11:17 – 00:12:15)   Resources: All Our Episodes & Articles on Taxes | Tackle Your Taxes with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.  KSA Tax Partners | https://ksataxpartners.com/  Free Gift | ‘How Much to Pay Yourself as a Business Owner' Calculator   Book a Call with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: https://www.kickstartaccountinginc.com/book    Connect with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/Kickstartaccounting YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@businessbythebooks  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kickstartaccountinginc
