The loudest voices during uncertain times are often the ones creating the most fear. While many investors react to headlines, market swings, and speculation, the people who build lasting wealth tend to think differently. Today, we're sharing one of our monthly investor calls because we wanted more people to have access to these conversations around investing, economics, and stewardship from a Kingdom perspective.

We talk about what's happening in the crypto market, why volatility doesn't automatically mean something is broken, and how we evaluate opportunities when others are rushing for the exit. You'll hear our thoughts on Bitcoin, market cycles, emotional investing, and why conviction matters when you're building for the long term. We also share updates on the fund and discuss some of the economic and political factors we're watching closely right now.

If you've ever found yourself asking, "What's my account doing?" or wondering how to navigate uncertain markets with wisdom and confidence, this conversation is for you. Our goal isn't just to talk about investing, but to help you develop a longer-term mindset that can impact every area of life. Because multiplication often happens when we're willing to stay focused on the bigger picture instead of reacting to the moment.

I turned 40 and genuinely did not recognize the woman staring back at me in the mirror. I knew something was wrong, but I had no idea what it was. I was on a mission to get to the root cause of my symptoms. So, when I finally got to sit down with Dr. Tabatha Barber, a triple board-certified physician in OB/GYN, menopause, and functional medicine, and founder of Fast to Faith®, I had a lot of questions, and she had answers that I believe every woman needs to hear. The kind that makes you realize how much the conventional medical system has been leaving women completely in the dark.

Dr. Tabatha's own story is one of those that honestly stops you in your tracks. She was an OB/GYN prescribing the same Band-Aid solutions she was trained to give, all while her own body was quietly falling apart until a failed back surgery put her flat on her back for seven days, and God used that moment to change everything. We get into the gut-hormone connection, why women are hitting perimenopause a full decade earlier than our mothers did, what functional medicine testing actually looks like versus what your regular doctor runs, and why fasting works differently once your hormones start to shift.

But one of my favorite parts of this conversation was when we went deeper than just the physical stuff and into the beliefs we picked up before age seven that are still quietly running our stress levels, our health decisions, and our sense of worth today. If you've ever found yourself asking God, "Why is this happening to me?" while also pushing through exhaustion on fumes, this episode is going to hit close to home. We're also teasing Part 2 on neuroscience and faith, and trust me, you don't want to miss it.

A touring musician playing 20+ shows a month, drove her car off a cliff, done with life, until God met her there with a vision that changed everything. In this conversation with Rae Taggett, transformational business strategist and co-founder of Evolved Podcasting, we follow her journey from that near-death moment to living out what God showed her: marriage, family, thriving businesses, and Kingdom impact.

You'll hear the truth about real transformation: the shedding of old beliefs, the isolation of change, and why dying to self is necessary in following Jesus.

Rae shares her shift from plant medicine in Peru to finding safety in Christ, and how God revealed what no one else could see. We also talk about creating intentional space with God, speaking to Him as a Father, and what to do when you don't feel Him despite doing everything "right."

This isn't a polished testimony, but the process between promise and fulfillment, and why community and environment matter more than you think.

She also shares how a broken leg, eviction, and touring with a toddler led to building an AI business now giving entrepreneurs 30–40 hours back each month.

If you feel the gap between external success and internal emptiness, or you're in a season of stripping and refinement, this episode will remind you: you're not failing… you're being refined. It's hard, but it's worth it.

A lot of people think multiplication starts when more money shows up, but Danielle McAllister's story shows it actually begins in the small, everyday decisions we make with what we already have. I sat down with her to talk about stewardship, money, and what it really looks like to build wealth without losing alignment. We also get practical: budgeting, avoiding lifestyle creep, and learning to manage money in a way that brings peace instead of pressure.

Danielle shares what it looked like in the early years of marriage when there wasn't much margin, but there was still a commitment to be faithful. From consistent giving to learning how to steward money well and stay out of debt, those simple habits became the foundation for everything that followed, including managing their family office and investing in real estate.

What really stands out is how giving shaped their entire journey. Even before there was "enough," they chose to give first, and that decision changed their relationship with money completely. Today, that same posture has grown into a family foundation focused on providing housing and support for moms in need.

If you're trying to figure out how to steward what you have right now, this conversation will give you a clearer, more grounded perspective.

" You become a slave to the money. Well, God tells us to give, and that's because actually when we hand it over to Him, we're saying, this doesn't have a hold on us." [00:13:43] – Danielle McAllister

"That is a great season of time if you want to start learning a skill, or start planting those seeds, or putting in some small reps towards something that is to come." [00:19:29] – Danielle McAllister

She finally surrendered everything to God on a hilltop, and two weeks later, she was facing a cancer diagnosis with a peace that didn't make sense. I sat down with Dayna Brooks to talk about what really changes when you move from knowing about God to actually surrendering to Him. We get into how that shift shows up in your health, identity, relationships, and leadership. If you've ever felt like something is missing in your faith, this conversation will hit close to home.

Dayna is the founder of Selah Grace and Selah Strength, boutique fitness and wellness studios built to support women in strength, restoration, and overall well-being. She shares how years as a stay-at-home mom left her feeling lost, and how fitness became the starting point for rebuilding her confidence and purpose. That personal journey turned into creating faith-led spaces where women can grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. Her leadership is grounded in intention, excellence, and staying aligned with God.

We also talk about what obedience can actually cost, including losing a large part of her business after bringing Jesus back to the center of it. Dayna opens up about walking through pruning seasons, trusting God when things don't make sense, and staying faithful in the middle of it. You'll hear how surrender prepared her for both the storm and the healing that followed. It's an honest, grounded conversation that will challenge the way you think about trust, faith, and letting go.

Life with six kids is full of surprises, and sometimes it feels like you're just figuring it out one day at a time. I sat down with Lynsey Cantlon, a wife, mom, and real estate advisor who has adopted five kids and built a thriving business, to hear how she navigates the chaos with faith and grit. We talk about what it really looks like to say yes to the hard things - adoption, foster care, divorce, and major life transitions - while still showing up for your family and your work. You'll get honest, practical insights on leaning on faith, community, and God's guidance when life feels overwhelming.

Lynsey shares how her journey started with one unexpected adoption and grew into a household full of love, laughter, and big personalities. We chat about the real challenges, from paperwork and logistics to raising kids with trauma, and how she balances it all with a real estate career on the Washington-Idaho border. This isn't a perfect story, but a real-life faith, obedience, and learning to trust the process. If you're juggling big life decisions or looking for encouragement in parenting, family, or work, her story will hit home.

From finding the right home for her family to meeting her husband in the middle of rebuilding her life, Lynsey's story shows how faith and courage make space for God's plans. You'll hear about the everyday wins and struggles, and why saying yes, even when it's scary, can multiply your impact in ways you never expected. By the end, you'll feel inspired, a little more courageous, and reminded that sometimes the best stories happen when we just take the next step.

You lost a friend, not to a fight, not to a falling out, but to silence, and nobody prepared you for how disorienting that would feel. In this conversation with Joanne Johnson, speaker, coach, and founder of Give4, we get into the real and often unspoken terrain of adult friendships: the seasons that shift, the relationships that fade without closure, and what it actually looks like to navigate all of it with honesty, prayer, and grace.

Joanne brings over 25 years of wisdom in ministry and relationships and does not hold back, from how to identify who truly belongs in your inner circle, to why avoidance quietly destroys even the closest friendships, to what it means to release someone and trust that God is making room for something new. We also get into parenting from fear versus faith and why humility might be the most underrated tool you have as a parent.

If you have been in a season of losing friends, feeling isolated, or quietly carrying fears about your family that you haven't said out loud, this episode will meet you right where you are. Joanne's upcoming book Resilient Friendships, and devotional The World Needs Your YES are both releasing in 2026, and after this conversation, you will want both.

Martha Mazor didn't set out to build a childcare empire; she was just a mom trying to figure it out. But somewhere between raising three boys, flipping appliances out of a tiny apartment, and trusting God through some really hard seasons, something remarkable happened.

In this episode, Martha pulls back the curtain on how she went from survival mode to scaling thriving childcare centers. We get into the real stuff: mindset shifts, faith-fueled decisions, the messy middle of marriage and motherhood, and how she built something that genuinely works for everyone inside it.

We also talk about boundaries, delegation, and staying present with your kids while your business is growing. Martha doesn't make it sound easy; she makes it sound doable, which honestly feels more valuable.

And if you've ever wondered whether your faith and your ambition can actually coexist? Martha has a lot to say about that, including how she's now helping other childcare leaders step into their own season of multiplication.

Whether you're a mom, a leader, or just someone who needs proof that bold moves are still possible, this one's for you.

"We are called. It doesn't matter how many zeros you have behind your name. We are called to multiply what we have been given." [00:32:21] – Martha Mazor

Some conversations stay with you because they put words to things you've been carrying for a long time. Sitting down with my dear friend Marissa McCrory, we talked honestly about faith, friendship, healing, hard seasons, and what it looks like to bring your real thoughts and feelings to God instead of trying to hold it all together. We also get into comparison, community, betrayal, boundaries, and why the heart work matters more than most of us realize.

Marissa is a Holistic Health Practitioner, Educator, and Founder of The Lumina Path, where she helps women get to the bottom of fatigue, bloating, hormone issues, stubborn weight, and feeling off, even when their labs look "normal." Her approach combines functional testing, practical lifestyle shifts, and whole-body wellness to help women build real energy, resilience, and confidence in their health again. And as you'll hear in this conversation, her work goes deeper than symptoms.

If you've ever felt isolated, disappointed, weary, or just ready for a deeper level of healing, I think this episode will really speak to you. We talk about spiritual growth, healthy relationships, gut health, discernment, and learning how to stay open to what God is doing even in the hard parts. It honestly felt like one of those conversations that was always meant to be shared.

"You should have friends in real life that you can go to and be vulnerable with. And if you don't, then it's time to do a little inventory on what you need to change, because that is where fulfillment really comes from." [00:16:10] – Marissa McCrory

You can work hard for decades, save consistently, and still miss the opportunity to truly multiply what you've been given. In this episode, I break down what an investment fund is, how private investing works, and why understanding your options is such an important part of stewarding your finances. I walk you through the roles of general partners and limited partners and show how money actually grows in a fund. If you've ever felt confused about hedge funds, real estate funds, or alternative investments, I make it simple to understand.

This episode also revisits the heart behind Mandate to Multiply: faith, family, and finances working together. I share why being intentional in your marriage, parenting, and personal growth directly affects how you lead and steward your resources. Multiplication isn't just about money, but also about stewarding everything God has entrusted to you. When your heart is full, your decisions, business, and family thrive.

I also talk about practical steps for getting started, including what to look for in a private investment fund, why SEC registration matters, and why a third-party admin can make all the difference. I want you to shift from just saving to intentionally multiplying what you have. Whether you're new to investing or exploring non-traditional opportunities like cryptocurrency or pooled funds, I share the mindset and tools to take confident next steps.
