Today I get the joy of sitting down with a friend and having what I believe might be the most important single episode concerning your finances that you might ever listen to on any podcast!  

As a podcast we are focused on helping point you towards a vibrant life in Jesus -  and whether we like it or not,  our finances are a huge part of our life.  It is the topic of our conversations with  our spouse, impacts how we parent, and is the key element that will determine how we live after retirement.

So  I thought I  would bring on my buddy, James Counts, and have him offer some  sound financial advice from a Christian’s perspective -  And what came out of the  conversation is that you get a free sit down with a financial advisor that will impact your finances no matter your season of life. 

James is a Regional Vice-President with Primerica Financial Services where he runs his branch, Counts and Associates. He has passion, not just for helping others, but for educating people with financial principles that aren't often taught in formal education.

he has personally trained over 100 representatives in offices in Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas. And since becoming Regional Vice-President in 2013 he has consistently ranked in the top 1% of all Representatives and Advisors in North America.

He’s also a dedicated husband,  father of 3, a little league coach, and he just so happens to attend the church where I get to pastor

And in our conversation, we get to hear a bit of the story that shaped his life AND we get to hear insanely practical advice for every season of life. We go over key financial principles for people in their teens, 20s, 30s, 40, 50, 60, and post-retirement.  

And all of its geared toward helping you truly live a vibrant life  - Even in your finances. 

I truly believe you will be encouraged today by our conversation with James Counts.

Welcome to episode 2 of the Vibrant Life Podcast - Today I am so excited to talk to one of the most enjoyable people I know - Tommy Swindol. Tommy is the pastor of The Doneleson Fellowship in Nashville Tennessee and man, if you get a chance to spend 2 seconds with this guy, it because clear very quickly that he loves Jesus. 

In our conversation we are going to talk about the dangers of living outside of a relationship with God,  building healthy habits and rhythms that point us to Jesus, why you should consider going to a counselor, the Uniqueness of being a pastor, and why it might be time give church another chance. 

It’s a conversation that truly does point us towards a Vibrant Life!

In this episode we will hear the incredible story of pastor Daniel Sweet. As a teenager growing up in a godless environment, Daniel had his life radically altered when he was shot point blank in the face. This traumatic event started a domino effect that showcased God’s goodness on his life. His story is a showcase of how God is always at work in our lives and if we are willing to trust him he will bring us into a future we never thought possible.

This is The Vibrant Life Podcast! This podcast is all about helping you thrive in your relationship with Jesus in the midst of the craziness of your  life.  In this podcast, Pastor Matt Wheeler of Oak Hills Church in Edmond, OK will interview community leaders, pastors, and everyday Christians to hear their stories and see how their story might point your life towards a vibrant faith in Jesus!
