On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week, one of our most favorite authors Robert Morgan took into his own personal journey of loss and what he learned about the faithfulness of God. What is “Telos” and how does it apply to and impact how we live our lives? Dr. Stephen Iacoboni explains what this important concept is all about and how it applies to our ability to live our lives the way God intended. Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. Juli Slattery talked boldly and biblically with us about human sexuality and why it is more than a physical act but an aspect of our being and how our shame and guilt around sex can prevent us from coming to God for healing of those wounds. Dr. Vince Vitale helped us explore the age-old questions surround the existence of evil in the world through the application of God’s word, allowing us to bring clear biblical truth to questions that plague the saved and unsaved alike. Join Janet and Craig as they show us how to discern the truth behind the confusion and misrepresentation of news that fills our lives each week.

Can a path of addiction and crime lead to a positive end? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week Marcus Clapper shared his personal story of discovering God’s power to bring healing and restoration to broken lives. Preston Ulmer explained how we can engage the doubter and skeptic and build a bridge of trust to share the hope of the gospel. There are 5 lies that have taken the lead in modern thinking in this time when more and more people are rejecting the Judeo-Christian way of living. Dr. Rosario Butterfield exposes those five lies, her personal battle against those lies and the lessons she learned that can help us as we confront them in our lives. Evangelist Ray Comfort joined us once again, but this time he pulled the curtain on his own spiritual journey and the radical spiritual transformation that marked his own life and led to the salvations of many others. As we come to the close of the week, we invite you to another exploration of the headlines of the week through the lens of scripture.

Preparing the next steward involves more than updating our estate plan. We spend a great amount of time thinking about how to manage money faithfully. Eventually, however, every steward passes that responsibility to someone else. How, then, do we train the person and put things in order? On the next Faith & Finance Live, Rob West and David Wills explain. Then, it’s on to calls. That’s Faith & Finance Live —where biblical wisdom meets today’s finances, weekdays at 4pm Eastern/3pm Central on Moody Radio.

Someday, someone else will steward the resources God has entrusted to you. But will they be prepared for that responsibility?

Many families devote considerable time and attention to estate planning. They establish wills, create trusts, and develop strategies to transfer assets efficiently. Those are important steps, but they address only part of the challenge.

Preparing the next steward involves more than preparing an inheritance. It involves preparing the person who will receive it.

David Wills, President Emeritus of the National Christian Foundation (NCF) and a contributor to FaithFi's newest Field Guide, How Do I Prepare the Next Steward?, joined the show today to discuss how families can pass down not only financial resources but also the wisdom, character, and biblical values needed to steward them faithfully.

When families begin discussing wealth transfers, they often turn immediately to financial tools and tax strategies. While those considerations matter, Wills believes a more important starting point exists. He encourages families to approach the process by asking three questions:

1. Why? Why has God entrusted these resources to us in the first place?
2. What? What do we hope to accomplish through the accumulation, investment, use, and eventual transfer of those resources?
3. How? What financial tools and strategies will help us accomplish those objectives?

Too often, families begin with the third question without adequately considering the first two. The goal isn't simply to transfer assets efficiently. It's to ensure those resources continue to be managed wisely and faithfully.

Ecclesiastes 7:11–12 reminds us of the value of wisdom alongside an inheritance. Financial resources can create opportunities, but wisdom helps us use them well.

That leads to a guiding principle from FaithFi's new Field Guide: Prepare heirs for assets, not just assets for heirs.

And preparation shouldn't be limited to children or grandchildren. For married couples, the surviving spouse may be the first person to assume responsibilities previously managed by the other. Both spouses should understand their finances and feel equipped to make important decisions.

Jesus' parable of the talents in Matthew 25 offers a helpful picture of stewardship. In the parable, a master entrusts different amounts to his servants according to their abilities. Each servant is then accountable for how he manages what he has received.

While the parable ultimately speaks to faithfulness to God, it also invites us to consider how people handle the responsibilities already entrusted to them.

Wills encourages families to observe the everyday decisions of those who may eventually receive an inheritance.

How do they manage smaller responsibilities? How do they respond to mistakes or unexpected challenges? Do they seek wise counsel? Are they growing in generosity and financial maturity?

Rather than making assumptions based on age or family relationships, these questions help us understand someone's readiness for greater responsibility. And perhaps most importantly, we should model the kind of stewardship we hope to see in the next generation.

If we want our children to be generous, they need opportunities to observe generosity in our lives. If we want them to make wise financial decisions, we should invite them to understand how and why we make ours.

Fortunately, preparing someone for stewardship doesn't have to happen all at once.

Wills suggests a simple progression that resembles disci

Do you ever believe the lie that you have nothing to give?  Today on BOLD STEPS, Mark Jobe opens Ecclesiastes chapter 11 with a message on the divine nature of generosity.  We’ll see why nothing we cast upon the water of faith is ever wasted ... and how God’s divine current brings it back to us in ways we’d never expect.  Learn to live open-handed ... listen to Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe.

Join us this hour as we look at the problem of evil. Dr Vince Vitale will join us to answer questions like: Why do we suffer? Why did God allow Satan to rebel? If God is a good God, then why hasn’t He prevented the Devil from causing pain and destruction? What is the ultimate antidote to evil? This conversation is designed to get us to think biblically and critically about the world around us.
