What You'll Hear:
  • Jeremy made a confession of faith in the Presbyterian Church but on May 24, 2009 he came to know and trust Christ.  He had stresses and sin patterns and had a half-hearted commitment and came to the conclusion that he didn't have the new birth. His eyes were opened and he was reading Isaiah 55.
  • We get things from low points that we can't get from a mountain top
  • Jeremy works for Ronald Blue Trust Company as a wealth manager/financial planner, walking with clients through transitions in life
  • At the end of day, he wants to decrease his clients' dependence on worldly wealth and increase their dependence on Christ
  • He's started a Bible study with some of his clients
  • As John Calvin said "our hearts are idol factories"
  • Our hearts were made for one thing, to desire and worship something.  If it's not Christ, most likely it's money
  • John Piper talks about a war time mentality as Christians, where we are content with loss to put more into the Kingdom
  • "Money reduces the friction between me and my idol, it lets me have it faster"
  • "Money undresses the heart faster than anything else"
  • Stay in the center of Biblical tension at all times
  • He worked at a Winn-Dixie grocery store and at the YMCA as a young man
  • He wishes he would have focused more on academics than working while in college
  • Jeremy's first job after getting his Masters was with Arthur Anderson in Columbia, SC in late August, 2001, just before 9/11
  • It used to be the Big 8 Accounting firms, now it's the Final Four
  • Arthur Anderson was very entrepreneurial, big into technology, and focused on consulting
  • Sarbanes-Oxley was helpful preventing fraud, but the Federal Government came down too hard on Arthur Anderson and 28,000 independent people lost their jobs
  • Check out "Firm of the Future" by Ron Baker. Jeremy feels that billable hours deforms the idea of value in the marketplace
  • Value has to be determined in the buyer's eyes, that's what should set price
  • "I'm not here to be a jelly fish to float downstream" 
  • Life verse is Ezra 7:10
