In this episode of Corporate Treasury 101, we dive into the evolving role of corporate treasury and explore how it can shift from a traditional cost center to a strategic business partner.

We all get angry. How quickly do you get there and what do you do with it? Most of us speak too quickly, often before we think. What if you learned to be quiet a little more often. And nearly all of us do not listen enough. What if we truly did listen twice as much as we speak? Maybe, just maybe our walk with Jesus and our relationship with others would be more fruitful, more consistent, less troublesome. We all would do well to memorize in our minds, mouths and hearts James 1:19. Especially the lines, “be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry”. Imagine how differently good it would be.Do you have prayer requests?

In today's section of our new study of the book of James, we learn that there are two desired outcomes for our lives, one from God and one from Satan. God desires to give us wonderful gifts, the real deal, life now and life eternal. Satan offers only counterfeits of the “good and perfect gifts” God offers. But guess which gifts we often choose? Satan is the master of deception, the “Father of Lies.” James offers a wonderful explanation of his strategies to ruin us, and also offers a beautiful, contrasting picture of God, the “Father of Lights” who wants to give us “every good and perfect gift.” Who's your daddy?Do you have prayer requests?

If you laughed a bit at the title of this new series, you were not alone. And that's because you and I (and every other non-delusional person) know that perfection on human terms is not going to happen. Still, the scriptures show that we are “being perfected”—being made complete—as we, through grace and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit, become more and more like Jesus. Part of that comes with age and wisdom and experience. Part of it comes because we want it to come. Most of it comes simply by the grace of God as He works His work in redeeming and re-creating us. James, the half-brother of Jesus Christ, is literally giving us a “how to” manual as it relates to living the Christian life. It's practical. It's daunting. It's certainly convicting. As we take our first overhead look today, you, too, will come to understand when I say, “James would understand.”Do you have prayer requests?

It can be almost overwhelming sometimes when we sit back and watch the world spinning ever-so-quickly toward anarchy and chaos. We see it world-wide, but we can't help but see it in our own nation, especially when we consider the corruption and/or ineptitude of leadership at the highest levels. Sometimes it feels like we don't have a chance! But if you look back through history, even to the time when Jesus came to earth, it was really much the same. Evil rulers dominated the landscape and tried their best to exert their evil wills in all directions. One was a dynasty we know as “the Herods.” Bottom line, though, is that the Herods are all gone. And even though new evil leaders will and do follow in their footsteps, their day will end. They will die and face inescapable judgment. But Jesus conquered death, and He still lives! It's good to remember history; it's good to have open eyes and see what's going on. But maybe it's better to keep our eyes on God and remember that our God reigns! He is not a God of chaos. In fact, it is out of chaos that He creates order, exactly according to His purpose. You can trust Him!Do you have prayer requests?

The “GOING” part of the great commission is pretty clear. What's harder to come by is the answer to two HUGE little questions the great commission begs be asked: “HOW?” and “WHO?”In today's message we consider those questions, and we take a look at the life of a man God called long ago, and then sent. Maybe what this man Isaiah learned in the process can teach us. And just maybe, how he answered the questions can inspire us to do the same.Do you have prayer requests?

The question was asked of Jesus, “and who is my neighbor”? In our series entitled GOING we are reminded the importance of our taking the message of Jesus to those who need to know Him.

One of Jesus' most overlooked commands is the last thing he ever said to his disciples. We are quick to obey some of his other commands, but often struggle to obey this most important one. Because of the resurrection, we have an inside track to the best news the world has ever known, yet we struggle to share it. This week, we are reminded that “Going” means obeying Jesus' command to “make disciples” “as we are going.” Do you have prayer requests?

Although we'll meet and interact with fascinating guests, we'll focus less on personal narratives and more on the overarching topics and insights related to this year's theme.

We continue the thread we started last Sunday when we asked the two biggest questions of life: 1) Can we trust God? 2) WILL we trust God? There is no more teaching of God more challenging—or more ignored likely—than His command to be generous in our giving back to Him. Whether you're talking about tithing, as was commanded in the Old Testament, or the even more generous giving anticipated by the covenant of grace—it's a tall order sometimes. But when we will actually DO IT, actually trust Him with all of our stuff, some amazing things will happen that can be experienced in no other way. Join us today as we step back into a story where a “widow bit” was more than enough!Do you have prayer requests?

Usually, when it comes to giving, we begin to think in terms of percentages. While that's certainly a biblical model, it seems as though the New Testament asks more of us.

We all know the frustration of failing at something repeatedly because our wishes to change and efforts to change are never quite enough. In this first message in our “Growing” focus, we will look quickly at three biblical scenes in which people by themselves were not enough until God made the difference. In all three cases, part of the work to be done toward growth involves getting outside of our mediocre, comfortable and often sick complacency, and then allowing God to transform us or our situations with His power.Do you have prayer requests?

Everyone needs someone who comes alongside of them in life to encourage them along the way, someone who has their back, but also is willing to speak truth to them when needed. Not only do you need someone like Barnabas in your life, but you need to be that for someone else.

This week, Jake will show us why each and every one of us needs a Paul in our lives.

As we look at relational discipleship, it becomes clear that every Paul needs a Timothy. The question is, am I a Paul? And, if so, what does having a Timothy look like? Join us as we dive into this first look at relational discipleship, how to do it, and what is benefits are. Do you have prayer requests?

A recurring message of scripture though the stories of Advent is this: “Don't be afraid!” It seems to always be the first word from God's messengers, and with good reason! But fear is such an ever-present reality in our lives, isn't it? In a positive way our fear can keep us alive, when we are afraid of the right things. And we all know that our fears can keep us awake at night. But we may not realize that the worst side-effect of fear is that it can easily keep us from living the lives God wants us to. Before we put away all the lights of Christmas, let's be reminded of why God says so often in scripture: “You don't have to be afraid anymore!” Do you have prayer requests?Get in touch directly with the team at WACC using thislink: https://wacconline.org/prayer-requestWe look forward to hearing from you! Want to take the next step in getting involved atWashington Avenue Christian Church?

One of the things that makes the Christmas story so winsome is that it involves a lot of ordinary people, people much like us. It doesn't make sense that God would do it this way. But there we are, and there they were. Mary, Joseph, cousins, shepherds, government officials, innkeepers, even an emperor—all pawns designed to be used by God to star in this very story. It's a good reminder that God is always at work, and that God's plans will be worked out through us or in spite of us—because God's plan never fails.Do you have prayer requests?

A lot of people have no idea about the true meaning of Christmas. And perhaps a lot of Christians, even though they connect Jesus with December 25th, don't fully realize themselves the depth of love and planning that went into the perfect gift. The gift of Jesus was certainly no accident on that first Christmas, having been prophesied for hundreds of years; the culmination of that gift, when the skin-covered Son of God was nailed to a cross, was not the unfortunate ending of a badly-planned campaign that God had to miraculously tweak into something grand. The cross was planned , as we are told in Revelation, when Jesus the lamb was “slain before the foundation of the world.”Do you have prayer requests?

For us, Christmas has become about exchanging gifts, and a great deal of effort and expense goes into this process. But any gift we might ever give is but a feeble echo of the greatest exchange EVER, when God wrapped Himself in a package of human skin and gave us the gift of His very presence. His gift is indescribable and inexpressible: not only did He give us His proximity, He gave us His blood. In this story, the gift is everything for a people who had nothing, and nothing to give in return, except our worship.Do you have prayer requests?

Jake leads us through the overarching story of the Bible and how God, since the beginning of time, has contextualized himself, ultimately through Jesus. Throughout history, the methods of God and the Church have changed, but the message stays the same. God is the great I AM. He has never changed and never will, and we can be comforted by his presence in the days to come.Do you have prayer requests?Get in touch directly with the team at WACC using thislink: https://wacconline.org/prayer-requestWe look forward to hearing from you! Want to take the next step in getting involved atWashington Avenue Christian Church?

Human habit finds us often in a doldrums of sorts, as we rock along for months, years, even decades—and convince ourselves that everything stays pretty much the same, or we hope that it will. Truth is-- nothing ever stays the same. Even within the span of what is familiar and comfortable and known to us, change has been ongoing. And that is because change is what God does. Today as we consider the future of WACC, we hear God saying, from Isaiah, “Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up. Do you not perceive it?” God is doing a new thing. Let's perceive it. Let's not miss it. Let's embrace it Because if God is in it, it will be good!Do you have prayer requests?Get in touch directly with the team at WACC using thislink: https://wacconline.org/prayer-requestWe look forward to hearing from you! Want to take the next step in getting involved atWashington Avenue Christian Church?

While the past often haunts and taunts and stokes present regrets and fears, and while the past deeply impacts our present and future, there is no time like the present! The present moment is fleeting, becoming the past as each second ticks off the clock. But it is right here and right now that we make decisions, offer commitments, determine our priorities and decide to quit living in the past. Today, right here, right now is when God wants us to live abundantly, without the weight of old chains or the paralyzing fear of the unknown. Living in Christ, this is possible! Today we will also consider the “state of the union” of WACC in 2023.Do you have prayer requests?Get in touch directly with the team at WACC using thislink: https://wacconline.org/prayer-requestWe look forward to hearing from you! Want to take the next step in getting involved atWashington Avenue Christian Church?

oday we spend some time looking back, which is really more about looking forward than we typically realize. As WACC nears a milestone—75 years as a church—it is important for us to note how we got here and even remember some of the “good ghosts” (wonderful witnesses now long (or recently) dead) who helped WACC get off to a great start. Any church that makes it to 75 years has allowed itself to be “reborn” already once or twice. Any church that hopes to make it to 100 years cannot forget the past, but maybe even more importantly, cannot forget that with God's help we are contributing to that “past” by the choices we are making in the present.Do you have prayer requests?

Only God can heal miraculously. He has performed all kinds of healings throughout the Bible and then some. Sometimes He did so on His own initiative. Sometimes He waited to do so on the request of people. In this week's message we find that Naaman's healing was dependent on his obedience, but his obedience was not dependent on his understanding. Just as God has shown He can heal bodies, His desire is to heal sinful, broken hearts. Only God can truly heal bodies. Only God can heal sin.Do you have prayer requests?

Parents and grandparents have long known from experience just how much a baby changes things when they enter their lives. Habits, dreams, activities, lifestyles, etc. all get transformed into something different. They challenge the status quo of our lives. Sometimes they even reveal the cracks in our lives. The baby Ruth and Boaz had not only changed their lives, but the descendant to come would be the baby who changed everything. His birth would bring hope, life and light into a darkened and desperate world.Do you have prayer requests?

There are two primary tests of a person's character: How cheaply can they be “bought” and how much are they “willing to pay?” The first is the issue of integrity and character, what it would take for a person to betray their values and beliefs. The second is an issue of unselfishness as it regards what lengths they would go to in order to do what's right, even and especially when there is nothing in it for them. In today's next-to-last episode of our Ruth series, we will meet two men, both of whom will be tested by both of these tests. One will pass. One will fail. How do you do when it comes to these tests? What is your price, and how much would you pay to simply do what's right? It's not an easy test, is it?Do you have prayer requests?

Another listener favorite Q&A episode, where Kristen and Jen tackle real questions submitted by our listeners.  We use these questions as teaching tools to explain concepts far beyond the scope of any individual question, so be sure to stay tuned to learn valuable insight about the world of Wall Street.  Our questions in today's episode include:1.  How does changing the WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) impact valuation when running a DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) analysis? What are the different theories of optimal capital structure and how does this all fit into the real world when companies are choosing whether to issue debt or equity? 2.  How do I ace my interview in a markets-based job, like the sales and trading division of an investment bank?3.  Why do we need circularity in investment banking models?4.  How do I know when to stop "buying the dip" when trading the markets?If you have any questions you'd like answered in a Q&A episode of our podcast, please write to us at questions@wallstreetskinny.comFollow us on Instagram and Tik Tok at @thewallstreetskinnyhttps://www.instagram.com/thewallstreetskinny/

In this episode of the podcast, we talk with Alex Hickey.

All our hard work is about to start paying off! Now that we've talked in detail about companies and their financials, we're ready to talk about valuation. In the first of several valuation-focused episodes, we introduce the concept of the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model, and the what/when/why/how of discounting future money. To do this, we do a deep dive on calculating a company's cost of capital and introduce the concept of Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).

Answering questions we've received from listeners via Instagram, TikTok and email!  This week's topics include: 1. Can you explain the different indices?  SPX, FTSE, DAX, NASDAQ, Barclays AGG…as an investor, why would you look at indices?  What do they mean/represent, and why do we have them?2. I'm building my first model, and trying to figure out how to connect the Income Statement, Cash Flow Statement and Balance Sheet.  Is there a particular order these should go in??  3. Two similar questions: a) is there any mobility into hedge funds or banks if you're 10+ years into a career in tech/startups?  And b)  What about any insights on how JD grads can break into the financial services industry?4. Does and incremental increase in debt increase or lower the WACC?5. Why wouldn't EVERYONE use interest rate swaps to hedge risk?  To have your question featured on our next Q&A episode, please email us at questions@wallstreetskinny.com or follow us on Instagram and send us a DM!Follow us on Instagram and Tik Tok at @thewallstreetskinnyFollow us on Instagram and Tik Tok at @thewallstreetskinnyhttps://www.instagram.com/thewallstreetskinny/
