In today's show, Mark, along with Seth Udinski and Sam Case, explore personal stories surrounding government assistance, highlighting both the temporary help it can provide and the challenges it may create when people become dependent on it. They present thoughtful perspectives on how faith, community, and the local church can walk alongside families seeking to grow beyond reliance on government programs. Callers discuss their journeys of stepping away from assistance as they grew in confidence, support, and purpose. The hosts also highlight market movements and strategies for navigating an uncertain investment climate while stewarding finances faithfully. Become a Financial Issues Partner today!
