Are you planning for the Kingdom or the world? 

In this episode, Jeff and Cale discuss: 

• Thinking about your financial estate plan from a different angle.
• Planning your giving before you die.
• Generous giving as a family with a non-traditional framework of giving.
• The top five questions are frequently asked by generous business owners.

Key Takeaways: 

• The three key questions: How much is enough for us? How much is enough for the kids? What do we do with the rest?
• There is value in community and in having like-minded advisors as you write your estate plans.
• You should have a financial finish line written down. You should also be on the same page as your spouse with that finish line and what is happening with any excess.
• It’s not about the balance sheet or the barn, it is about what God tells you and your spouse to do.
• Write a blessing letter to your children - write why you love them, what sticks out to you about their lives, about seeing God’s hand in their lives, and more. Update it over the years.

"God doesn't care about how many talents you have. What He cares is what you do with them." —  Cale Dowell

They are actively involved in their church and Young Life, where Cale has served for over 15 years. He is a 40 under 40 recipient, actively contributes to several non-profit boards, and is a 7th-generation Texan. Not surprisingly, he is just as stubborn about Texas as you would imagine.
