His book The IVP Bible Background Commentary: New Testament has sold over half a million copies alone!

In this episode, we discuss:  How exactly do we store up treasures in heaven? (7:03) Is having wealth and being a high-income earner bad or a blessing? (9:45) The eye being the lamp of the body (15:45) How to determine if you’re serving God or Mammon (22:09) Is professional ambition good or bad? (24:24) What does eternal success look like according to Jesus? (28:44)  “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” – Jesus Christ (Matthew 6:24 NIV)

019: Challenges Are Opportunities To See God Work In Your Life

If you've ever been confused about how to pay taxes as a small business owner, you're not alone. Taxes are an essential, boring, and often burdensome component of running your own small business. Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid it - unless you plan to break the law, which I don't recommend. If your small business or creative project is making money, you need to be doing proper accounting and taxes. In this episode, we sit down with my tax accountant Ron Houp. Ron has been in accounting and tax services for over 30 years. In this episode, you'll learn:  How to pay taxes as a small business owner (what taxes to pay, how much to pay, when to pay taxes, and where to tax payments to). What business entity you should choose for your small business startup (C-Corp, S-Corp, LLC, Sole-Proprietor, etc.). How your business structure - and the way you pay yourself as a business owner - affects the taxes you pay. The importance of paying estimated taxes (and when to pay them).

018: Small Business Taxes 101: What Every Entrepreneur Needs To Know, with Ron Houp

According to research by Aberdeen, businesses using video grow company revenue 49% faster year-over-year than organizations without video. Every day on YouTube, people watch hundreds of millions of hours on YouTube and generate billions of views. (YouTube also has over a billion users - almost one-third of all people on the Internet.) Video is an extremely effective medium for engaging people and growing revenue. In today's episode, we sit down with my friend and fellow entrepreneur Dave Hunter and discuss do-it-yourself (DIY) video production. If you're interested in making videos for your business, this episode is for you. Dave is the founder of Greenroom Video Production and has been a full-time entrepreneur for 11+ years. Some of his past and present clients include Sears, Delta Airlines, Judson University, AT&T;, and Willow Creek Community Church. (Click here to watch some of the videos he's done for clients.) In this episode, you'll learn:  How one relationship can completely change the trajectory of your business, generate more referrals than you ever imagined, and lead to thousands of dollars in revenue. How to make quality videos for your business - even if you don't have a studio, expensive film equipment, or a clue where to begin. What equipment you need (and don't need) when starting out - and why you shouldn't focus on video equipment, or let it hold you back from making videos. Why video engages and converts prospects better than any other medium online. When you should do DIY video and when you shoulder hire a professional videographer.
