In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Paul discuss: 

• Paul’s unique educational and professional journey. 
• Your unique journey of generosity.  
• Perpetual giving chains. 
• Promoting charity from the C-Suite and all levels of business. 

Key Takeaways: 

• Listen to those who have been around longer - they have seen more than you can even dream of. 
• Giving as a private company versus as a publicly traded company, is different based on who you need to get permission and justify the cost. 
• There are ways to give that can assist people in raising themselves up, and they can turn and be generous as well. 
• You’ve got to be excited about something in order to sell it properly - that includes your charity efforts. 

"Money is not all the charity - it’s also making the phone calls to those who can help more than you. Don’t ever ask someone for money for something that you aren’t sold on. But don’t ever worry about the amount of charitable giving, every little bit goes to something." —  Paul Evans

• Giving your life to Christ. 
• Joy in generous giving to experience the fullness of God’s grace. 
• Sending your treasures ahead and storing those treasures in heaven. 
• Learning to love giving through giving. 

Key Takeaways:

• Everything you do is going to get better the more you do it.
• If you are at or above the poverty level in the United States, you are among the wealthiest people in the present world and are rich by biblical standards. The Bible commands us to be rich in good deeds.

In this episode, Jeff and Herve discuss: 

• Building on a new foundation of faith as an adult. 
• Balancing business, personal life, and faith. 
• Generosity beyond the financial balance sheet. 
• Developing your business skills to better be used for God’s stewardship. 

Key Takeaways:

• Utilizing your time and talents generously will allow you to be the prayer answer that others need when guided by God. 
• The only valid answer to the end of a series of why questions is to glorify God.

In this episode, Jeff and John discuss: 

• Seeking God and counsel as you try and find His path for you. 
• Becoming a global Christian. 
• Having a plan to succeed financially without failing spiritually. 
• Staying in the discomfort until God comes through. 
• Treasuring the Creator, not things. 

Key Takeaways: 

• You cannot live only on others’ stories of faith. You need to have your own spiritual, faith-filled experiences. 
• On your faith journey, you need to learn to be uncomfortable without having all the information. Faith is putting trust in God without seeing all the answers.  
• Trust that God will answer your prayers, especially when it doesn’t fall on your timeline. 
• The safest place to be is in the will of God. Stay with Him in your journey and His path. 
• Don’t excuse yourself by the amount of money you can’t give. He who is faithful with little will be faithful with much. 

"Stay in the discomfort until God comes through because He will. He will - we don't control Him, He doesn't work for us, we work for Him. Stay with him in that journey." —  John Rinehart

• The development and encouragement from David’s early professional journey.

In this episode, Jeff and Brent discuss: 

• The seeds of belief that are waiting to bloom. 
• God’s unique hand in our individual lives. 
• The inputs and outcomes of social media and the changing digital landscape. 
• Using the current digital pipelines to replace the activities and behaviors. 

Key Takeaways: 

• Wherever there is a screen, there is going to be an ad. As the screen size decreases, the tolerance for ads decreases. 
• The changing of gameplay styles with Facebook and other micro-transaction games allowed for the opening of new styles of games. 
• Anxiety, suicide, and depression rates are at all-time highs for kids. The trajectory exactly matches the rise of social media on smartphones.
• The ability to get toxic content is almost insistent and is being accessed by children more and more frequently than at any other time in history and it is having detrimental effects on their life. 

"It’s not about the medium, it’s about the message and the content." —  Brent Dusing

In this episode, Jeff, Cale, and David discuss: 

• How investment banking has changed over the last few decades. 
• Utilizing private equity to build businesses.
• Creatively solving problems to serve others. 
• Using your business acumen to support your philanthropic endeavors. 

Key Takeaways: 

• You never know who you can build relationships with as you go about your business. Those relationships will often prove valuable as you get further into your career. 
• In the midst of the struggles, everything feels like the world is going to end. But things often turn around. In the struggle, you must convey reality to your team, but you must also give them hope. 
• Work-life balance is particularly important for people of faith, but we still need to reach high and look at our careers as service to the Kingdom. 
• A lot of people have good ideas, the difference-makers are the ones who act on it. 

"We live in a world today where Christians need to be in positions of leadership more so than ever before. Regardless of what your profession is, whether it's the accounting world, investment banking, law, medicine, or politics, if we want to make a difference in this world, we got to be aggressive people. And I'm not talking about being politically aggressive, and I'm not talking about being a jerk on Twitter. But we’ve got to be in positions of leadership." —  David Lumpkins

In this episode, Jeff and Sid discuss: 

• Taking responsibility for the company early in his career. 
• Managing salary and transitions in a family-owned business. 
• Creating a family-focused priority when running your business. 
• Co-creating your life and generosity with God. 

Key Takeaways: 

• When a leader moves on, there are a lot of dynamics and the human elements are just as important as any business elements. 
• Create a home life that is grounding for you. Focus your life on your family and keep your relationships strong and it will help you business. 
• Set the guardrails to let your business work for you, not you working for your business. If you don’t set the boundaries it is more likely to consume you. 
• Giving in education is a way to help future generations get a better start and a stronger foundation. 

"The best gift to my kids and grandkids is to give them a good start, but not to make it where they are trust fund babies. Think instead, how can I use these funds to empower other places and help my kids see that it is a good thing to do?" —  Sid Jansma Jr.

About Sid Jansma Jr.: Sid's oil patch experience began in 1959 working part-time for his dad as a roustabout. So he started at the bottom! Four years at Calvin College resulted in a degree in philosophy and economics, and in a year at U of M, he earned an MBA. He then joined Wolverine Gas and Oil Company (the family business founded by his father in 1948) full-time for the next 49 years. Sid also volunteers for the energy industry at both the state and national levels.  At various times, he's been chairman of the Michigan Oil and Gas Association, chairman of the Independent Petroleum Association of America’s Tax Committee, chairman of the Environment and Safety Committee, and on the Board of Directors of the American Petroleum Institute. That kind of networking keeps him in touch with others in the industry and up-to-date on what's going on around the country in the oil field and energy in general. Sid has enjoyed serving at church as elder and chairman of the board of trustees at Plymouth Heights Christian Reformed Church. He has served on several other boards, including that of the Russian-American Institute, Calvin Theological Seminary (when in May 2019 he became Chair Emeritus of the Board of Trustees), ROC Oil in Australia, and other boards. Sid’s four children and 14 grandchildren are an endless source of joy to Sid and Cate. And then what about his spare time? He cooks, sails, hunts, fishes, and plays the bagpipes – with absolutely no time left for golf!

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Casey discuss: 

• How growing up in Washington, D.C. in the 80s and 90s affected Casey’s view of the world and his foundation. 
• Being part of the worst team in NFL history and being part of a Super Bowl-winning team. 
• Effectively stewarding money to better serve God’s kingdom. 
• Loving and valuing people and living life in the community. 

Key Takeaways: 

• What matters is how you show up each day and the relationships built along the way - in sports and in life. 
• God is profoundly generous and wants to bless our lives, even if we don’t see it at the moment. 
• The things that feel like a sacrifice and are hard will, in hindsight, often prove to be the provision and the things that allowed your future growth. 
• It is possible to break the cycle of poverty. But it is a society-wide effort - one person cannot do all the work, but one person can prove that what society is doing now is not enough and can show a better way. 

"The Lord made each one of us completely unique, and He didn't do replicas. There's a calling that is going to give us unique opportunities, unique relationships that only we have, and only we can steward and submit, with courage, to God." —  Casey Crawford 

About Casey Crawford: Casey Crawford is the co-founder and CEO of Movement Mortgage, a top 10 national retail mortgage lender and a six-time member of the Inc. 5000 list. The movement originated $30 billion in residential mortgages in 2020 and gave $200 million of its profit to the Movement Foundation. Casey is also the chairman of Movement Bank and founder and chairman of Movement Schools, a network of tuition-free public charter schools providing world-class academics and character education in underserved neighborhoods.

Based on his belief that a business should be judged not by what it extracts from a community, but rather, by how much it gives, Casey founded the nonprofit Movement Foundation as a vehicle to bring life, light, and hope to others. To date, it has received $260 million of company profit to invest in schools, communities, and nonprofits around the world.

Casey has been recognized as a John Maxwell Transformational Leadership Award recipient, Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year finalist, HousingWire Vanguard award recipient, and a Charlotte Business Journal Most Admired CEO.
