In this episode of Yahweh’s Money, I sit down with Michele Thorburn, a strategic Human Resources Director with over 20 years of global expertise. Together, we explore the "Caregiver’s Paradox"—the reality of immigrant caregivers who provide high-end, luxury care for clients while navigating their own financial, cultural, and socioeconomic hurdles.
From her upbringing in South America to her advocacy for minority and women's rights, Michele shares how her "global soul" informs her leadership at Assisting Hands. This conversation serves as a powerful reminder that honoring God in business means ensuring that those who care for our elderly are themselves cared for with dignity, equity, and a true sense of belonging.

In this episode of Yahweh’s Money, we’re bridging the gap between divine inspiration and daily execution. I sat down with a decorated leader and a member of my own family, my brother Mitchell Tull II, to unpack why a strategic plan is a spiritual necessity for anyone looking to master their money and their calling.
With 24 years of service in the U.S. Army, Mitchell has navigated the unique military life cycle—from that first paycheck in basic training to the complexities of retirement. Together, we discuss how the discipline of a soldier translates to the discipline of a kingdom steward, the resilience needed for the "messy middle" of deployments, and why successful implementation of God's financial downloads creates a lasting legacy for the next generation.
You’ll Discover:
Featured Scripture:
2 Timothy 2:3-4 — "You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please Him who enlisted him as a soldier."

In this episode of Yahweh’s Money, we are dismantling the uncomfortable "dirty" feeling many people of faith associate with selling. I sat down with 40-year sales veteran and master sales coach Thomas Ellis to explore how sales is not about pushing a product, but a noble extension of our faith and a direct form of serving our neighbor.
Together, we unpack how to shift your mindset from "selling" to "helping" and why standing firm on your pricing is actually an act of high-level stewardship. From overcoming the "slick" salesman stereotype to navigating the emotional landscape of business, we discuss how to grow your bank account with integrity, confidence, and a servant’s heart.
You’ll Discover:
Featured Scripture:
Colossians 3:23 — "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters."
Action Steps:
This week, audit your "help" pitch and your pricing structure to ensure they reflect the value of your calling:
When you shift your mindset from selling to helping and stand confidently in the value of your gifts, you transform your business into a vessel for service and stewardship.

In this episode of Yahweh’s Money, we’re talking real faith, real caregiving, and real stewardship. I sat down with my father, Reverend Mitchell D. Tull Sr., to unpack the emotional, financial, and spiritual weight of supporting aging parents — especially when money wasn’t openly discussed in their generation.
From navigating the traditions of the Silent Era to coordinating long-term care, inheritance, and family obligations, we explore how caregiving becomes a ministry of obedience, sacrifice, and honor. Together, we talk about the faith required to support elderly parents, the financial realities of long-term care, and the importance of preparing the next generation with clarity instead of secrecy.
You’ll Discover:
Featured Scripture:
1 Timothy 5:8 — “Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”
Action Step:
This week, take one practical and spiritual step toward intergenerational financial clarity:
• Research average assisted living or in-home care costs in your city
• Review your parents' (or your own) long-term care plans
• Spend time in prayer asking God for wisdom, provision, and peace as a caregiver
Small steps today make stewardship — not secrecy — the family legacy!

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Yahweh’s Money, Shay Cook sits down with one of the most influential voices in her life — her mother, Reverend Lana Tull — to explore what it truly means to raise righteous daughters rooted in faith, financial wisdom, and service.
Together, they unpack how biblical principles, intentional mentorship, and community engagement shape young women into confident, capable stewards of both their resources and their calling. From Proverbs 22:6 to real-world lessons learned through decades of service, this conversation reminds us that the greatest inheritance we can pass down is character — not cash.
With nearly 60 years of service in Girl Scouts, Reverend Tull shares how faith-driven leadership, entrepreneurship, and volunteerism create a foundation that prepares girls for life far beyond the classroom — from managing money to walking boldly in purpose.
You’ll Discover:
Key Scripture
Proverbs 22:6 — “Train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are old, they will not depart from it.”
This verse anchors the episode, reminding parents and mentors that early investments in faith, finances, and service yield lifelong fruit.
Action Step
Choose one intentional practice to model for a young person this season — whether it’s opening a savings account together, setting aside time to serve your community, or having an honest conversation about giving, saving, and stewardship.
If you’re a parent, mentor, or leader, consider how faith-based financial guidance and volunteer opportunities can strengthen confidence, character, and long-term stability — not just in individual lives, but across families, teams, and communities.

In this episode, we’re talking real faith, real stewardship, and real maternal health equity. I sat down with Leah Hairston—Baltimore doula, CEO & Founder of Sweet Bee Services, social worker, maternal health advocate, and daughter of a pastor—to explore what it truly means to care for the temple God has given us by investing in support before, during, and after childbirth.
From navigating racial disparities in the medical system to understanding the emotional, mental, and financial toll of an unprepared birth experience, Leah breaks down why doula care isn’t a luxury. It’s wise stewardship, preventive financial strategy, and spiritual protection for mothers, partners, and families. Through education, emotional attunement, birth preparation, postpartum support, and advocacy, her team at Sweet Bee Services helps families move from fear to confidence—and maintains a 10-year 100% survival rate for high-risk clients.
You’ll Discover:
1. The Financial Return of Doula Care - Preventing unnecessary interventions, avoiding overspending on baby items, reducing readmission, and catching life-threatening conditions early—doulas save families thousands in medical bills, time away from work, and mental health costs.
2. Why Birth Support Is a Spiritual Assignment - Leah explains how childbirth is one of the most vulnerable spiritual seasons of a woman’s life. Having someone present who can pray with you, hold space for you, ask the right questions, and help you discern medical decisions is an act of glorifying God through stewardship of the body He entrusted you with.
3. Preparing the Whole Family—Not Just the Baby - From financial readiness to relationship changes, Leah’s team asks the questions most families never think about:
Featured Scripture
1 Corinthians 6:19–20 —
“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you… You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.”
Action Step of the Week
This week, take inventory of your maternal, financial, and spiritual preparedness—whether you’re expecting, planning, or supporting someone who is.

In this episode of Yahweh’s Money, we’re talking real faith, real service, and real financial resilience. I sat down with James Green, a retired Coast Guard veteran turned real estate investor and spiritual practitioner, to explore what it truly means to let God—or your higher power—establish your steps over a 41-year career.

Through Buddhist principles, unwavering discipline, and a commitment to legacy, he shows how faith and mindset can transform not just your career—but your entire life.

Ask yourself:
“Where is God—or my higher power—asking me to trust more deeply?”
Then strengthen one area:

Finally, check in on someone in public service—military, civil service, or caregiving. Ask how they’re doing financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Small conversations can change someone’s entire path.
