This podcast contains 'Best Of' material that originally aired in 2022. Also, Brant & Sherri discuss showing the world that God can actually be trusted.

Money conversations often center on numbers, strategies, and outcomes. But underneath those practical concerns lie deeper questions—questions about identity, worth, and purpose.

For many women, financial confidence isn’t just about knowledge. It’s deeply connected to how they see themselves and their role in God’s story. That’s why conversations about money must go beyond budgets and investing—they must address the heart.

On today’s show, financial advisor and author Bethany Frymire shared how faith, identity, and financial decision-making are deeply intertwined—and why that connection matters.

Bethany Frymire, a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®) with Blue Trust and author of Women of Worth: A Faith-Based Guide to Financial Wisdom, didn’t set out to work in financial services. Her journey began unexpectedly, but God used it to shape a calling centered on helping others steward resources through a biblical lens.

Today, she serves clients by integrating financial planning with spiritual wisdom—helping believers align their financial lives with their faith.

That integration is key. Because money, at its core, is never just about money.

Too often, finances are treated as a separate category of life—something purely practical or technical. But that approach misses something important.

As Bethany explains, women in particular tend to live integrated lives. Faith, identity, relationships, and responsibilities all flow together. When one area is uncertain—especially identity—it can affect everything else, including financial confidence.

If someone struggles to believe she is valued and called by God, that uncertainty can manifest as hesitation, fear, or avoidance in financial decisions. But when identity is grounded in Christ, everything changes.

Financial stewardship becomes not a burden—but an opportunity to honor God.

There’s a striking reality many women face:

That gap often becomes most evident during life’s hardest moments—widowhood, divorce, or unexpected transitions.

Without preparation, financial responsibility can feel overwhelming. But when knowledge and confidence are built in advance, those same moments can be approached with wisdom and peace.

That’s why learning stewardship isn’t just about the future—it’s about faithfulness today.

Financial education is important. But knowledge alone doesn’t always lead to action.

Why? Because confidence to act is often rooted in identity.

You can understand budgeting, investing, and generosity—but still hesitate to apply those principles if you doubt your worth or calling.

But when women begin to see themselves as God sees them—valued, chosen, and entrusted—they become far more willing to step forward and act on what they’ve learned.

That’s when financial wisdom mo

When duty wins (again), what keeps your marriage from drifting? This episode steps into the tension: respect when it’s hard, staying connected when you’re apart, and quieting the mental spiral. It’s honest about the strain—and speaks to the part of you asking, “How do we not just survive this?”

Ever look at a puzzle piece and try to guess the whole picture? It’s nearly impossible, until you step back and see the top of the box. So it is with life. We see a just piece (often a painful piece) but God sees the big picture. His perspective is higher, and His timing is better. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows how to trust God even when life doesn’t make sense. If you’ve ever felt stuck or confused, clarity and hope are just ahead.
