The Bridge Austin

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that God is calling us to win the battles of life, not just survive them. These battles aren’t just about us personally, but are tied into a much larger spiritual warfare that is surrounding God’s purpose for the bigger picture.

What happens when you openly share the name of Jesus? In today’s message, Pastor Chris points out that preaching Christ always brings two results. Some people get saved and find eternal life. Others respond with opposition and even hatred. That’s the Christian life. When you step out in faithfulness, God can use you to change someone forever, but you might also face pushback or trouble. You can play it safe and avoid most conflict, or you can go for it and trust God with whatever comes.

Family relationships aren’t always easy, and sometimes the toughest struggles can lead to the strongest connections. On today’s episode, Mark sits down with two young women at Heartlight who have walked through dark seasons of conflict, self-doubt and destructive choices. Their journeys show that while pain and misunderstanding can create distance, there’s hope for rebuilding trust and closeness at home. Together, Mark and the teens discuss how healing happens one conversation at a time — and how families can grow even stronger after weathering life’s storms together.

As we step into a new year, one question guides everything we do: How can we better serve believers who want to manage God’s money, God’s way?

At FaithFi, that question has shaped a season of prayer, growth, and fresh vision. Today on Faith & Finance, we sat down with Afton Phillips, our Head of Content, to talk about what God has been doing—and where He’s leading us next.

What follows is a look at the remarkable momentum of the past year and the exciting resources coming in the year ahead.

The past year has been one of extraordinary growth for FaithFi—growth that reflects a deep hunger for biblical wisdom applied to everyday financial decisions.

• Our podcast audience grew by 55,000 listeners, bringing the total to more than 880,000 listeners.
• Faith & Finance is now heard on over 2,000 radio stations nationwide.
• Our FaithFi Partner community grew by nearly 600 partners, enabling us to expand our reach and deepen our impact.

Behind the scenes, God also provided through new team members, a completely redesigned website filled with original content, and countless stories from listeners whose lives are being shaped by Scripture-centered financial guidance. It’s a powerful reminder that timeless biblical wisdom still meets very real, modern needs.

Momentum invites vision—and the year ahead is full of it.

Our Ultimate Treasure Devotional

One of the most anticipated resources is a new devotional, Our Ultimate Treasure, written to help believers understand financial stewardship through the lens of the gospel. While it officially releases in 2026, anyone who becomes a FaithFi Partner by December 31 will receive it as a thank-you gift.

This devotional is designed to anchor financial decisions in eternal perspective—reminding us that money is a tool, not our treasure.

Early next year, we’re launching FaithFi 5.0, a completely redesigned app experience that makes practical money management simpler—and spiritual formation deeper.

At the heart of the update is a new feature called Financial Rhythms. These rhythms are daily, intentional practices that help align financial habits with God’s truth through Scripture, reflection, and action. The goal isn’t just better budgets, but transformed hearts.

Alongside these rhythms, the app will include:

• Interactive studies and devotionals
• Audio versions of select resources
• A growing digital library, including articles from Faithful Steward magazine

FaithFi now releases Faithful Steward magazine quarterly, each issue filled with original, thoughtful content. In the coming year, we’re also preparing our first-ever special edition, focused entirely on women and wealth.

This issue will build on findings from the nationwide Women, Wealth, and Faith study and explore how more women are stewarding God’s resources with wisdom, confidence, and faith.

One of the most exciting developments is the launch of an entirely new product category in 2026: FaithFi Field Guides.

These workbook-style guides are designed to help believers thoughtfully answer the questions financial advisors hear most often:

• How much is enough?
• How do I give intentionally?

You know that great feeling you get when you give a gift to someone? In this message, you’ll learn from Chip how to keep that feeling going 365 days a year!
