Sit with Steve Reimann and Brian Cochran from John Moore Associates; in this episode they explore why getting a raise doesn’t always bring the financial peace we expect. The discussion unpacks lifestyle creep—how spending naturally rises with income—and why the issue is often less about money and more about contentment and the heart. Through practical wisdom, biblical perspective, and thoughtful questions, the show challenges listeners to see income increases not just as permission to spend more, but as an opportunity for greater intention, generosity, and faithfulness.

We sit down with Jodi Hendricks of NMFAM and Pastor Derek Witt Metamorphi Church to discuss the critical cultural moment facing New Mexico and why the Church can’t afford to disengage. The conversation explores the “why”—biblical citizenship, real challenges pastors face, and leading with courage rooted in discipleship, not politics—and the “what”: the EQUIP Summit, a practical, pastor‑focused gathering to encourage, equip, and connect leaders with tools and ongoing support.

If you’re a pastor, church leader, or believer wondering how to faithfully lead in today’s culture, this conversation is for you. Learn why EQUIP matters, who should attend, and how to get registered.
