This episode of the Replace University Podcast takes a different direction from our usual financial strategies. Michael Lush and the team introduce Funds of Freedom, a new faith-rooted nonprofit dedicated to tackling some of the darkest realities in our world today—sex trafficking, veteran support, and helping families in crisis.

You’ll hear the heart behind this mission, why freedom is at the center of everything we do, and how Funds of Freedom will operate differently than most charities—staying lean, transparent, and focused on putting resources directly into the hands of those in need.

From supporting organizations that rescue and restore victims of trafficking, to stepping in after natural disasters when communities are most vulnerable, to even paying off mortgages for struggling families—Funds of Freedom was created to be a light in dark places.

This conversation goes deep into faith, calling, and the responsibility we all share to use our blessings to bless others. Whether you can give financially, volunteer your time, or simply join us in prayer, you’ll see how you can be part of this mission.

In this video, Michael Lush explains how a sweep account in a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) can save you interest by automating the transfer of funds from your checking account to your HELOC. This process ensures that your money, which would otherwise sit idle and depreciate in value in a checking account, is instead used to reduce the principal balance of your HELOC. By consistently lowering the principal, you decrease the daily interest calculated on the loan. Lush highlights the efficiency and financial benefits of using a sweep account, emphasizing how it eliminates human error and maximizes the impact of your income on reducing interest costs.

In this video, Michael Lush addresses Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC) concerns and the potential risks of account freezing. He explains the origins of these concerns, particularly during the 2008 financial crisis, and compares the flexibility of HELOCs to traditional mortgages. Lush emphasizes that, despite the possibility of freezing, HELOCs offer significant advantages, such as lower default rates and greater flexibility in financial hardship scenarios. He details how HELOCs allow homeowners to use their credit lines to make payments and manage expenses, providing a more adaptable financial tool compared to fixed mortgages.
