Today, Pastor Jack teaches that riches and influence are not a substitute for a heart aligned with God. Nabal was void of wisdom, and his foolishness was rooted in self, pride, and bitterness. But, true wisdom brings blessings, and it will be rewarded.

When you go to someone’s house, and they take their shoes off at the front door, what do you do? Do you keep yours on like you do whenever you’re away from home, or do you take yours off too, as they’d prefer? In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that you’ll often encounter others with a different worldview than your own. What convicts you may not convict them, and the things that grip their heart may not grip yours in the same way. Being Christlike means sacrificing your comfort when necessary.

In this special episode, Rabbi Schneider shares the true story of his supernatural encounter with Jesus and the dramatic journey that followed. Facing rejection, hardship, and opposition, he discovered real hope, purpose, and transformation through a living relationship with God.

What happens to people the moment after they die? Are they immediately transported into Heaven or Hell? Do they cease to exist? Or do they go into a period of spiritual slumber, waiting for a day of future judgment? Dr. Robert Jeffress explains what happens to Christians immediately after death.

What happens when we stop drifting financially and start stewarding intentionally?

When God’s purposes shape our financial decisions, money takes its rightful place—not as a source of identity or security, but as a tool that brings clarity, freedom, and faithful living. That conviction is at the heart of our conversation today with Brian Holtz, CEO of Compass Financial Ministry, about an upcoming gathering designed to help believers live it out in practical ways.

Brian explains that the idea for the conference begins with a familiar phrase: money is just a tool. While that’s true, tools are always created with intention. A hammer isn’t good or bad—but it’s designed for a specific purpose. When we don’t understand what money is for, we risk using it indiscriminately, assuming every financial decision is wise simply because it seems practical.

Scripture calls us to something better: stewardship shaped by God’s design. When we understand His purposes for money, our decisions become clearer—and our faithfulness more intentional.

That’s the vision behind Money on Purpose, Compass Financial Ministry’s global conference happening February 26–28, 2026, in Orlando.

Over three days, attendees will experience:

• Christ-centered worship
• Teaching rooted in Scripture
• Fellowship with believers seeking to steward God’s resources faithfully

Each keynote explores a specific purpose of money through a biblical story or character from both the Old and New Testaments, followed by workshops focused on real-life application.

One of Compass's strengths has always been its ability to make biblical stewardship accessible, regardless of where someone is on their financial journey. This conference reflects that same heart.

Whether you’re a young adult seeking guidance, a parent shaping financial values at home, or a church leader looking to integrate stewardship into discipleship, Money on Purpose is designed to meet you where you are.

Workshop topics range from biblically grounded investing to navigating economic uncertainty—all anchored in God’s Word.

What often surprises attendees most, Brian notes, is how comprehensively Scripture speaks to modern financial questions. When people realize their real concerns are addressed in God’s Word, something shifts.

Just as powerful is the community. Being surrounded by like-minded believers moves the experience beyond information toward transformation. People leave not only knowing what to do, but encouraged, supported, and eager to see God work through their obedience.

Compass’s mission is simple but profound: to help people grow closer to Jesus, live free to serve Him, and help fund the Great Commission.

Those who attend Money on Purpose leave with:

• A clearer understanding of God’s financial principles
• A practical plan to live them out
• A community of believers committed to walking together

That’s what purposeful stewardship is ultimately about.

When we handle money on purpose—God’s purpose—we discover greater freedom, direction, and joy in stewarding what belongs to Him.
