In this episode of The Steward Chair, Maria Thacker Goethe, President and CEO of Georgia Life Sciences, shares her journey of transitioning from a dedicated "number two" to leading a massive ecosystem through a global pandemic. We explore how a commitment to mission and the guidance of mentors drives meaningful, long-term success even when the original plan is upended. We discuss the critical role of a connector in the life sciences sector, the importance of "work-life harmony" over balance, and why true stewardship means preparing the next generation to lead. This conversation provides actionable takeaways for leaders committed to stewardship, integrity, and impact. Key Takeaways Purpose Over Tactics: In times of crisis, your "North Star" must be your organizational purpose, allowing your tactics to remain nimble and adaptive. The Responsibility of Mentorship: Leadership is a societal responsibility; investing time in the next generation is essential because no leader is "here forever". Embracing "Ready Enough": You don’t have to feel fully ready to step into a leadership seat; surrounding yourself with a community that believes in you is the key to moving forward through fear.

It’s easy to think of “creation care” as optional—important, maybe, but not especially spiritual. This devotional challenges that assumption by reminding us that God’s relationship with humanity has always included stewardship of the world He made. In Genesis, God plants a garden and places humankind there with a clear purpose: to work it and take care of it. That means creation care isn’t a modern trend—it’s part of our original calling. The devotional begins with a striking, everyday example: artificial light can disorient migrating birds, drawing them off course and increasing the risk of collisions and exhaustion. Small choices we barely notice—turning on outdoor lights, decorating with strings of bulbs—can have real impact on the creatures around us. And on a broader scale, issues like pollution, deforestation, habitat loss, and harmful pesticides remind us that creation is groaning under the weight of sin and brokenness. Romans 8 describes nature’s longing for renewal, tied to God’s ultimate restoration of all things. The key shift the devotional emphasizes is this: dominion is not permission to destroy. God’s authority is marked by justice, mercy, and faithful care, and because we are made in His image, our leadership over creation should reflect His character. Everything belongs to God—“the earth is the Lord’s”—so our stewardship becomes a form of worship. The way we treat the environment is connected to the way we honor the Creator. While we may not control large systems or global decisions, we do have influence in our daily lives. The devotional offers practical examples of faithful stewardship: reducing nighttime light exposure, making windows safer for birds, planting trees, creating pesticide-free pollinator gardens, treating animals well, and picking up litter. These aren’t small, meaningless actions—they are tangible ways to imitate God’s compassion and justice. And they can become reminders of hope: God has broken sin’s curse through Christ and promises a future renewal for creation and for us. Main Takeaways Creation care is a biblical calling rooted in God’s original design for humanity. Everyday choices can affect the environment and the creatures around us more than we realize. Dominion is meant to reflect God’s character—leadership marked by mercy, justice, and care. Stewardship is worship: the earth belongs to God, so how we treat it honors Him. Practical, local actions matter and point us toward hope in God’s future renewal. Today’s Bible Verse “Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil … The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” - Genesis 2:8-9, 15, NIV Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Help me to [steward] in a way that glorifies You… May I… care for [creation] as an extension of my love for You.” You can listen to the full prayer here or read the devotional at the links below.

What shapes your financial decisions—faith or impulse? In this episode, Costi Hinn walks through the biblical principles every Christian should consider when it comes to gambling.

How should Christians steward money in the end times without fear, greed, or confusion?In this episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, I sit down with author and Bible teacher Steve Wohlberg to talk about biblical money stewardship and why financial wisdom matters now more than ever. Many believers struggle with the tension between preparing for the future and trusting God fully—especially when Scripture reminds us that Jesus is coming soon.We unpack how financial stress impacts mental health, physical well-being, and even relationships, and why ignoring money doesn't make us more spiritual. Steve shares why the Bible calls us to both be ready and occupy until Christ returns, and how wise financial decisions can actually bring greater peace, clarity, and freedom to serve others.If you've ever felt uneasy talking about money in church, overwhelmed by finances, or unsure how to plan while keeping your faith first, this conversation will give you practical insight and biblical encouragement you can actually use.Chapters:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:25] Topic and Guest Introduction[05:05] Steve's Wake-Up Call About Retirement & Stewardship[09:39] The Interconnection of Health and Finances[12:27] Giving vs. Earning: Why Both Matter Biblically[14:12] How Steve Manages and Learn About Finance[16:40] Two Pillars of Truth[18:05] The Love of Money vs. Wise Stewardship[21:22] End-Times Economics: Buying, Selling & Control[23:10] Why Financial Peace Improves Longevity[25:16] Practical Steps for Financial Health[27:20] Investing Wisely for the Future[30:17] Building Wealth for Kingdom Work[33:45] The 10 Commandments & Financial Wisdom[37:40] Why This Book Is a Missionary Tool[39:30] Conclusion and ResourcesResources mentioned:Get your copy of Be Wise With Your Money in These End Times by Steve W.

Sermon from the pulpit of Falls Baptist Church

Are you looking for tools that clarify, simplify, and anchor faithful stewardship in biblical wisdom? That question has shaped our vision for the newly updated FaithFi app—a discipleship tool designed to help you build financial rhythms that bring peace, clarity, and Christ-centered focus to your money decisions.To help unpack what's new, we sat down with Chad Clark, Chief Technology Officer at Kingdom Advisors and FaithFi. Chad has led the development of the FaithFi app since day one, shaping it into a tool that serves real families seeking to honor God with His resources.When the app first launched, the goal was straightforward: build a biblical stewardship tool that was both practical and accessible. Early versions focused primarily on budgeting and cash-flow management. Over time, the app expanded to include a robust content library of articles, podcasts, and videos, along with a community discussion board—features that helped users learn and encourage one another.This latest update is the biggest we've ever released, and Chad explains what guided the development:“One of the most important questions we can ask when building technology is: How do we make it simpler for the user? Money can be complex. Budgeting software shouldn't make it harder.”To solve that problem, the update introduces:Secure bank connections for importing balances and transactionsNew simplified budgeting tools that make setup easyImproved automated categorization to reduce manual workThese upgrades are designed to help users spend less time tinkering with tools and more time reflecting on the why behind their financial decisions.One of the standout features in the new update is something we're calling Rhythms—structured daily, weekly, and monthly check-ins that help users slow down, reflect, and respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively.Daily rhythms pair brief transaction reviews with short devotionals and reflection questions. Weekly and monthly rhythms zoom out, helping users observe habits, cash-flow patterns, and financial goals—all with suggested adjustments and heart-level reflection prompts.Chad notes that these rhythms are especially powerful for couples who want to cultivate greater unity and shared stewardship. With a simple weekly or monthly check-in, couples can talk, plan, pray, and adjust together.The update also brings FaithFi content directly into the app in a more seamless and beautiful way. Faithful Steward magazine articles will now have a mobile expression, and studies and devotionals will soon follow. It's one more way the app is becoming a true financial discipleship environment rather than just a budgeting tool.The app now includes optional AI features—but with intentional guardrails. All AI is opt-in, self-hosted, and never sent to third-party models. The goal isn't novelty or complexity; it's simply to automate tedious workflows and simplify budgeting so users can focus not merely on what they're doing with money, but why.“The goal,” Chad says, “is to help people be attentive and obedient to what God is calling them to do with what He's entrusted to them.”Stewardship grows when we slow down, pay attention, and invite God into the decisions we make with His resources. The updated FaithFi app was built to help you do exactly that—establishing rhythms that encourage wisdom, gratitude, reflection, unity, and greater participation in God's Kingdom work.The new version is available now. Just search FaithFi in your app store, or visit FaithFi.com and click App.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have an annuity that will mature in a year or two.

After spending back-to-back VIP days with multiple multi-seven-figure leaders, Kelly noticed a powerful pattern: The businesses ready to scale fastest weren't missing strategy — they were missing identity. In today's episode, Kelly breaks down why backing up to the identity of your brand may be the most important move you make heading into 2026. In an economy where information is commoditized and AI is everywhere, the businesses that win are the ones that lead movements, not transactions. This episode will challenge you to rethink how you cast vision, create belonging, and build a brand people want to stay loyal to for years, and not just buy from once. In this episode, Kelly explores: Why logic alone no longer converts buyers (and, how movements outperform marketing tactics) The difference between customers who transact and customers who stick around How to create "stickiness" (and ultimately, lifetime value) through identity and conviction Why the heart and soul of your brand matter more than ever in 2026 TIMESTAMPS: 03:06 – 05:40 — What Kelly noticed after multiple VIP days with 7-figure CEOs 05:41 – 07:55 — Why growth stalls when identity isn't clear 07:56 – 10:20 — Logic vs. emotion: how people actually decide to buy 10:21 – 12:45 — Transactions vs. movements (and why LTV suffers) 12:46 – 15:05 — How identity creates brand "stickiness" 15:06 – 17:30 — Service-based businesses and the lost art of stewardship 17:31 – 18:55 — Why AI makes conviction and humanity non-negotiable RESOURCES: Grab your copy of Conviction Marketing: https://www.amazon.com/Conviction-Marketing-Kelly-Roach/dp/B09S259DWK Subscribe to Kelly's Substack channel: https://kellyroachofficial.substack.com/  Follow Kelly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellyroachofficial/  Follow Kelly on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kelly.roach.520/   Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellyroachint/ 

James Green shares the raw story behind his book Wounded Not Ruined—a conversation on masks in church culture, childhood trauma, depression, and the path of healing in Jesus.We talk about:-why “you can't heal who you pretend to be”-how silence turns trauma into identity-the three types of depression (clinical, circumstantial, spiritual)-why movement + sweat can be a practical weapon in the fight-Kintsugi (broken, restored, stronger) and the prodigal son: love outruns shame

The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,     the world and those who dwell therein,2 for he has founded it upon the seas     and established it upon the rivers.3 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?     And who shall stand in his holy place?4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,     who does not lift up his soul to what is false     and does not swear deceitfully.5 He will receive blessing from the Lord     and righteousness from the God of his salvation.6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,     who seek the face of the God of Jacob.Psalm 24:12 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.Hebrews 12:2THE CROSS WAS NOT EASY FOR JESUS.Endure: to suffer patientlyTHE AGONY OF THE CROSS WAS WORTH IT BECAUSE THE REWARD OUTWEIGHED IT.THE REWARD THAT OUTWEIGHED THE CROSS FOR JESUS WAS PEOPLE.When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:1-318 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[b] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”Matthew 28:18-20The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,     the world and those who dwell therein,Psalm 24:1“We don't bring God into culture—God is already there, calling it home.”Leslie Newbigin DECLARING > CONVINCINGWe are called to announce good news, not argue people into belief.5 For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants[c] for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.2 Corinthians 4:5-62 And Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3 explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.” 4 And some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a great many of the devout Greeks and not a few of the leading women. Acts 17:2-42. STEWARDSHIP > OWNERSHIP3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? 4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human?5 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8 He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. 9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.1 Corinthians 3:3-93. THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT > THE POWER OF METHODSNot by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.Zechariah 4:62 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men[c] but in the power of God.1 Corinthians 2:2-5

In this episode, I'm sharing why the most overlooked leadership skill for high-level women right now isn't discipline, hustle, or having the perfect plan—it's the ability to pause without spiraling. I talk about why January creates so much nervous system dysregulation, how comparison turns us into “gap thinkers,” and why most women aren't behind at all—they're just measuring their lives with the wrong ruler. This conversation is a reminder that clarity doesn't come from pushing harder, but from creating space to actually hear yourself again. I also open up about how pausing has transformed the way I steward my business, my voice, and my identity—especially after a profound personal experience that reshaped how I understand safety, leadership, and provision. I talk about why learning to hold the process matters more than chasing the outcome, why trying to be everything to everyone creates exhaustion, and how true influence comes from honoring your specific lane and genius. This episode is an invitation to slow down, release control, and trust that what you're preparing for in the pause is what allows the harvest to come. Liked this episode?

You do not need to sprint into the new year. You do not need to prove January. You do not need to panic plan. You do not need to aggressively map out your entire year in a week like your life depends on it. You don't have to have the perfect setup or the perfect studio, or the perfect launch or whatever thing that you're making up and telling yourself that you need in order to make something great because most women  don't enter the new year with a strategy problem. Most women enter the new year with nervous system dysregulation.” - Julie Solomon  “ It's not to say that goals are bad. It's not to say that measuring how far we've come to where we wanna be is bad. It's just that a lot of women are measuring their lives with a ruler that was never meant to measure their actual progress, their actual success. And that's the thing most women are not behind. They're just measuring with the wrong ruler, and you cannot build a powerful year from some distorted measuring stick.”  - Julie Solomon RESOURCES:

Stewardship of the Land as a Business Philosophy Celebrating 90 years in business offers a rare opportunity to reflect on both history and progress. EpiCity's story began with founder Davis Lee Stokes, who grew up in rural Middle Georgia in the early 1900s, dependent on the land for survival. That connection left a lasting impression and continues to shape the company’s approach to development. Tom Stokes explains that his grandfather was a forward-thinking entrepreneur who embraced new ideas rather than resisting them. While today's Atlanta — particularly its technology-driven real estate environment — might feel worlds apart from the city of the 1920s, Stokes believes his grandfather would be more appreciative than surprised by how much has changed. At the core of EpiCity's longevity is a simple but powerful principle: take care of the land, and it will take care of you. While that idea once meant survival, today it reflects a broader responsibility to builders, homeowners and the communities they serve. Stokes shares that stewardship now extends beyond the company itself. By thoughtfully developing and maintaining properties, EpiCity aims to benefit the people who live and work in those spaces. “We take care of the land, not so much to take care of ourselves, but to take care of our customers and our clients, who in turn take care of us,” Stokes said. Risk & Opportunity in the Atlanta Market EpiCity's history includes bold decisions that helped shape Atlanta long before certain neighborhoods became obvious growth centers. From Marietta to Decatur to communities south of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the company often developed in areas others considered too far out. Stokes credits that entrepreneurial instinct to his cousin and business partner, Jim LaVallee, who shares their grandfather's ability to spot opportunity through constant networking and information gathering. That willingness to listen, learn and act on emerging trends remains a defining element of the company's approach to risk and reward. Following World War II, EpiCity played a significant role in providing housing for returning veterans and the growing middle class. One of the firm's largest historical projects, the Lindmont and Morningside apartments near Lindbergh and Piedmont roads, exemplified that mission. At the time, the 510-unit development was considered one of the largest residential projects of its kind in the region. Today, it serves as a reminder that meeting real community needs has always been central to the firm's success. That legacy continues as EpiCity develops new projects in many of the same neighborhoods where its founder once built, creating continuity across generations. Adaptive Reuse Before It Was a Buzzword Adaptive reuse has become a defining focus for EpiCity, not because it is trendy, but because it often makes economic and practical sense. Stokes emphasized that many reuse projects begin by recognizing the value already embedded in existing structures. “With a building that's functional but closer to redevelopment than not, you have to figure out how to be economical and use what's there,” Stokes said. Rather than defaulting to demolition, EpiCity looks for opportunities to preserve architectural character and extend the useful life of buildings until the market supports full redevelopment. Armour Junction is an early example of that philosophy. The office loft campus is home to several Atlanta businesses and is located just steps from the Atlanta Beltline. EpiCity assembled dozens of parcels near the Beltline in its early days, including single-family homes throughout Westside neighborhoods. Today, the continued expansion of the Northeast Trail and planned future connections only enhance the value and connectivity of projects like Armour Junction, reinforcing the firm's long-term, forward-looking approach. Lessons From Market Cycles and Looking Ahead Over nine decades, EpiCity has weathered wars, economic downturns and dramatic shifts in the real estate cycle — lessons that continue to inform how the firm operates today. Stokes succinctly summed up one enduring principle: less debt is better. Maintaining financial discipline allows the company to navigate uncertainty while staying prepared for long-term opportunities. While optimistic about Atlanta's future, Stokes says EpiCity is approaching the current cycle with caution, focused on positioning itself to deliver value when opportunities arise. That mindset, grounded in gratitude and long-term thinking, continues to shape the firm's outlook. “I really thought about it, and it occurred to me, it's the company that's kept the family together,” Stokes said. “By having that extra connectivity, those of us who are invested in the business and work in the business have one more reason to be connected.” Tune in to the full episode to learn how EpiCity Real Estate Services is carrying forward a 90-year legacy of thoughtful development, adaptive reuse and land stewardship across Atlanta.

This episode brings together some of the most honest moments across multiple conversations about leadership, money, faith, and personal growth. From struggling with scarcity even after financial wins, to realizing that businesses only grow as healthy as their leaders, this conversation goes deeper than tactics—it gets real.   You'll hear raw reflections on leadership mistakes, why humor builds trust, and how abundance is something you learn, not something you earn. The episode also breaks down a powerful framework for wealth—from making money, to managing it, to multiplying it, and finally using it for impact.   This isn't about hustle. It's about stewardship.   Get to know Stephen Scoggins more: https://stephenscoggins.com/   Take one question from this conversation into your week: What am I building—and what is it building in me?   Want to hear the full episodes?

Most men don't realize how much of their anxiety, distraction, and frustration is tied to what they own—and what owns them. We live in a culture that constantly tells us to want more, buy more, and accumulate more, yet peace, clarity, and contentment feel further away than ever. Today's conversation is about pushing back against that noise and asking a harder, more honest question: When is enough, enough? My guest is Joshua Becker, author of Uncluttered Faith: Own Less, Love More, and Make an Impact in Your World. Joshua challenges the idea that minimalism is lifeless or empty and reframes it as an intentional act of stewardship, generosity, and purpose. We talk about consumerism, greed, anxiety, and the hidden cost of everything we own—and how living with less can actually free us to love people more deeply, live with greater clarity, and invest in what truly matters. This is a conversation about discipline, contentment, and creating a life that serves your mission—not your possessions.

Show Notes: Reclaiming Your Energy & Healing Past Hurts In this episode, Heather and Dr. Carol Lynn dive deep into the power of "cleaning out the temple." We explore how carrying emotional baggage from decades ago—even as far back as middle school—drains the energy we need for our lives today. From hilarious stories about homeschooling "mommy voices" to the profound act of giving our hurts to God, this session is a guided journey toward midlife freedom. Whether you're struggling with self-forgiveness or still reeling from a comment made to you in the sixth grade, it's time to join the "We Do Not Care Club" and start healing. In This Episode, We Discuss: The Power of the "Brain Dump": Why writing it down on four lines of paper is better than letting it consume your entire brain at 3:00 AM.

Naming the Weight: Identifying the "unpaid emotional bills" we've been carrying and learning how to finally settle the debt.

The "We Do Not Care Club": Embracing the freedom of your 50s and refusing to let other people's opinions define God's creation. Stewardship of the Soul: How letting go of the past allows us to be fully present for what God has for us in this season. Guided Journaling Steps: Name the Weight: Identify one specific hurt you've been carrying. Expose the Lie: What is that old wound telling you? (e.g., "I'm not enough," "I'm forgotten"). Reclaim the Energy: Consciously decide where that energy is going instead—to your family, your joy, or your future. Circle Your Word: Choose one powerful word (like Joy or Free) to focus on this week.

Step into a powerful retelling of Jesus' parable: a nobleman departs, leaving a certain number of pounds in the hands of his servants, and the true test begins. You'll meet faithful stewards who trade boldly and reap unexpected rewards, and a cautious servant who buries his pound in fear. As the story unfolds, the episode reveals how stewardship—over time, ability, and truth—becomes the measure of our faith and the mirror of how we view God. By the close, you'll feel the urgency and hope of a simple command: occupy until He comes. This episode challenges you to stop hiding the gospel, to choose the best over the good enough, and to live as a faithful steward today. 

In this solo episode of The Robyn Ivy Podcast, I reflect on a recent snowstorm in Rhode Island as a surprisingly rich metaphor for how we prepare—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—for life's unknowns. From overbuying at the grocery store to charging batteries just in case, I explore what our storm prep styles reveal about our inner lives. With my signature mix of story, honesty, and grounded wisdom, I offer you a deeper look at how we respond to change, uncertainty, and responsibility. Whether you're someone who stockpiles batteries, forgets the flashlights, or skips prep altogether, this episode will help you better understand your patterns and build more meaningful resilience. If you've ever felt like you were bracing for impact—or caught in a life storm you didn't see coming—this one's for you. 3 Takeaways for You: Your prep style is personal intel. How you handle physical storms mirrors how you approach uncertainty in general—notice your patterns.Presence matters more than perfection. When challenges hit, tuning in to your senses and practicing gratitude can shift stress into awe.Real preparedness includes your mindset. The balance between practical readiness and trust is where true resilience lives.

In this episode, we speak with Tela Troge, a Shinnecock Nation matriarch, lawyer, and kelp farmer, Indigenous to what is now known as Long Island, NY. She shows us how ushering life back into the Shinnecock Bay is not as hard as it seems. By fighting against the billionaire class that tried to take up the land of the area, and pushing against patriarchy that tried to limit women's leadership, she and her sisters are planting sugar kelp in the Shinnecock Bay with extraordinary results. Her message inspires hope that, even in the most troubled waters, we can take action to reverse environmental damage and heal the land. If Tela can do it, we can all do it! She shows the light of how to walk down this path of regeneration and restoration.
