In the first bonus episode of this ‘Money and Me’ season, Frank Morton, Operations Manager at Stewardship Wealth, talks about key moments and turning points in his journey with money.

Some key points of interest covered in this episode include the following:

• Simon introduces Frank [00:56], who talks about his Christian upbringing [02:05] before going on to explain how his career in financial services came about. [03:15]
• Next, Frank speaks about the challenges of maintaining a faith perspective within the workplace [04:53] and of becoming more open and natural about his Christian beliefs over time. [06:55]
• In response to a question from Bex, Frank shares some thoughts about his experiences of having conversations with people about money, outside the work context. [10:14]
• Prompted by Simon, Frank remembers a lesson in generosity and compassion that he learnt from his father. [12:07]
• When asked about generational attitudes to money, Frank highlights the different experiences of, and perceptions of, the availability of credit and the nature of debt. In that context, the money course run by CAP (Christians Against Poverty) has proved to be a very useful resource. [16:28]
• For Frank, the standout passage from the Bible that deals with attitudes to money is Hebrews 13.5: ‘Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”.’ He then goes on to share a story of God’s provision to illustrate that verse in action. [19:48]
• When asked about a possible tip to share with his younger self, Frank highlights the importance of letting God into our financial situations and getting to the point where we genuinely trust Him to provide what we need. [22:21]
• On the issue of things that money can’t buy, Frank agrees with The Beatles and also prizes genuine, deep-rooted friendships far above worldly wealth. [24:14]
• The second bonus episode of this ‘Money and Me’ season will feature a conversation with another of Simon’s colleagues – whose identity is currently shrouded in mystery! – which will serve as a companion piece to this episode. [25:21]
