The Stewardship Podcast

The Defining Stewardship podcast has set out to help you be the best steward of what God has given you, and this week they discuss one of the best ways you can steward your finances, by protecting them with insurance. 

We get it, no one wants to talk about insurance, it can feel boring, but it's so important to every financial plan. Today, Grant and Jeremy talk over the main types of insurance you need to consider and why. Insurance can be a confusing topic, there are lots of types of insurance that you don't need, but some that are absolutely vital. Today's episode ought to help clear up that confusion.

Don't forget to check out the rest of our financial planning series starting with episode 105!

It's okay. You can want more income. Not only is income the most important piece of your personal financial picture (not controlling expenses and not saving), but you earn income through work. And we were created to work. Work can be praiseworthy! In this week's Defining Stewardship podcast Jeremy and I discuss the cash flow and give some practical steps to increase your income. One of those steps? Have the proper mindset as it pertains to work. Work is not a punishment. It is an opportunity to serve and love other people. It is an opportunity to fill a need. It is an opportunity to do a thing you were created for! Having this mindset will help you have the proper attitude when working which will impact your efforts. THAT will allow you to earn more income. And that greater income has the potential to quite literally serve God's kingdom by supporting needs in your community and serving people. Be sure to subscribe as we spend the next few weeks covering some of the steps of creating a financial plan and how to build wealth.

How important is it to work with a financial advisor? Do you even need someone to manage your investments? What does a financial plan help you do? Today, Jeremy and Grant answer these questions and explain the super helpful benefits of working with a wise, fiduciary advisor who will work in your best interest.

If you are tired of hearing how difficult 2020 has been, then this is the podcast for you. Today, Grant and Jeremy talk about what we stand to learn from a year like the one we've had. 

There has been a lot of good for a lot of people in the last year, and "unprecedented" times like these lead to unforeseen opportunities as well. For many of us, 2020 exposed some flaws in our plans, like the lack of emergency funds. But the ways we changed our work and lives this year has also helped many of us to refocus on prioritizing family over profits and find what really matters in life. 

We do not want to minimize the hardship this year brought, but we also don't want to miss the opportunity to see the good and grab hold of it. Finding what's good allows us to make positive changes in our life and make next year better than this one. Make sure no hardship is wasted.

Some of us are incredibly lucky, some of us are born with raw talent, but no matter what situation you're in, it is your process that determines your outcome. Bad processes lead to bad outcomes and good processes lead to good outcomes. It is vital that you have the right focus and trust the process. In today's podcast, Grant and Jeremy discuss what kinds of processes in financial planning lead to greater success and give some tips on how you can reach your goals, no matter what those goals are.

There are some great nuggets in this one. For some more info on the topic, check out Jake Norton's blog here: https://stewardship.pro/2020/12/01/your-process-determines-the-outcome/

Today, Grant and Jeremy talk through some highly debated financial products. Many people say these things are terrible, especially in certain circles, while other folks sing the praises of these products. This podcast is all about the pros and cons, taking a balanced, intelligent approach to making decisions that work for your personal financial situation. No financial product is evil in and of itself, but there are wise and unwise ways of going about these things. This podcast is all about equipping you with the right knowledge to make the choice that is best for you.
