Learn how to retire with a positive mindset by following these Biblical principles.
More episodes >>
What does the Bible really say about retirement? Retirement is actually mentioned only once in the Bible, where it refers to the Levites retiring from their regular service at the age of 50. However, the Bible emphasizes the importance of work around 500 times, with work being part of God’s original design for humans. Retirement, as we understand it today, is a cultural concept rather than a Biblical one.
In this episode, Bob and Shawn explore how to align your retirement plans with a Biblical perspective, focusing on service, purpose, and finishing life. Retirement should not be solely focused on personal interests and agendas but should be about glorifying God and serving Him.
HOSTED BY: Bob Barber, CWS®, CKA®
The Lord said to Moses, “This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years old or more shall come to take part in the work at the tent of meeting, but at the age of fifty, they must retire from their regular service and work no longer. [26] They may assist their brothers in performing their duties at the tent of meeting, but they themselves must not do the work. This, then, is how you are to assign the responsibilities of the Levites.”
The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, [24] since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

Is investing in gold really worth the hype, or is there more to know?
More episodes >>
Have you ever wondered if investing in gold is truly a safe bet for your financial future? Is gold really the ultimate hedge against inflation and economic instability or are there hidden risks and downsides that you need to know about?
In this episode all about gold, Bob and Shawn uncover the historical significance of gold, delve into the real risk and returns, and explore the Biblical perspective on gold as an investment. Overall, it’s important to work with a fiduciary financial advisor to tailor one’s investments to their goals and risk tolerance.
HOSTED BY: Bob Barber, CWS®, CKA®
Abram was very rich in livestock, silver, and gold.
Make these poles from acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
Each year Solomon received about 25 tons of gold.
The king made silver and gold as plentiful in Jerusalem as stone. And valuable cedar timber was as common as the sycamore-fig trees that grow in the foothills of Judah.
Our God is in the heavens, and he does as he wishes. Their idols are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands./em>
The images of their gods you are to burn in the fire. Do not covet the silver and gold on them, and do not take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared by it, for it is detestable to the Lord your God.
You saw among them their detestable images and idols of wood and stone, of silver and gold.
What has been, it is what will be, And what has been done, it is what will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun.

Check out these tips on how you can try and overcome the financial fear of missing out.
More episodes >>
Are you constantly chasing the next big investment opportunity? Do you never feel content with your current financial situation? Financial FOMO, or the fear of missing out, can trap us in a cycle of dissatisfaction, envy, and greed. In this episode, Bob and Shawn expose the dangers of the “Financial FOMO” mindset.
Unfortunately, companies and media use financial FOMO to manipulate consumers into overspending and taking on debt. The antidote we recommend? Finding contentment in Christ, practicing gratitude, and focusing on reasonable returns rather than chasing the latest trends to help try and live a more fulfilling and financially stable life.
HOSTED BY: Bob Barber, CWS®, CKA®
Not that I speak from need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with little, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you.”
He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. This too is vanity.

Explore 10 powerful Biblical principles to help guide you in your financial journey.
More episodes >>
Are you tired of feeling lost in the world of investing? Unsure of how to navigate the ups and downs of the market? In this episode, Bob and Shawn explore 10 powerful Biblical principles that will guide you towards wise, faith-based investing decisions and help you stay focused on your long-term goals.
Some of these areas include making investment decisions based on facts and math, rather than emotions or hearsay. Investing is a marathon, not a sprint, and should be viewed through a long term lens in order to create a well thought out financial plan.
HOSTED BY: Bob Barber, CWS®, CKA®
Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight; you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.
I saw among the simple, I noticed among the young men, a youth who had no sense.
The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it out.
The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Stay away from a fool, for you will not find knowledge on their lips. The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception.
Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot.
Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.

For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
Then he said, “This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain.” And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.” But God said to him, “You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?”
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him(Christ) who gives me strength.
Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness. Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
