Utah's Hope

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.

What if your everyday banking could help fuel ministry—without changing how you manage your money? That’s the question at the heart of a growing movement to rethink financial stewardship. For many of us, banking feels purely transactional. But what if it could become a tool for Kingdom impact?

On today’s episode of Faith & Finance, Aaron Caid joined us to share how a unique approach to banking is helping support churches, families, and ministries around the world.

Aaron Caid represents AdelFi and Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU), which recently came together to form what is now the largest faith-based credit union in the country. As they move toward a unified identity under AdelFi Christian Banking, the mission remains unchanged—but the opportunity for impact has grown.

This new chapter means expanded resources, greater reach, and a continued commitment to serving individuals, families, businesses, and ministries nationwide. The goal is simple but powerful: to steward financial resources in a way that advances the gospel.

Most people don’t think of their bank account as a ministry tool—but that’s exactly what this model seeks to change.

As a not-for-profit, member-owned credit union, the focus shifts from profit maximization to Kingdom impact. Instead of enriching shareholders, revenue is reinvested in serving members and supporting ministry work. Notably, 10% of earnings are tithed to support ministries actively sharing the gospel.

This transforms everyday financial decisions—like where you bank—into opportunities to participate in God’s work.

This isn’t just theory. It’s happening in tangible ways.

1. Supporting the Local Church

During the pandemic, Calvary Chapel South OC quickly outgrew its space as people gathered in large numbers for outdoor worship. Through affordable financing, the credit union helped the church secure a larger property—creating space for continued worship, discipleship, and community.

2. Caring for the Vulnerable

Through partnerships with organizations such as the Christian Alliance for Orphans, financial resources have supported over 250 ministries serving orphaned and foster children. Beyond funding, families have also received guidance on navigating the financial complexities of adoption.

3. Investing in the Next Generation

Camp Agape, which serves children with incarcerated parents, is another example. Support includes both financial contributions and volunteer involvement. Many children who attend eventually return as adults to serve, creating a cycle of h

Some people treat prayer like it’s a game of chance. Like Bingo. They bring their petition to the Lord and then wait to see if they “get lucky.” “You win some, you lose some.” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how to pray with more confidence. It’s not up to luck, it’s up to the Lord . . . the Lord who loves us, and cares for us, and told us to keep asking, keep seeking and keep knocking. Practical prayer instruction is just ahead.
