PREVIOUSLY SHARED EPISODE #3: Ready to deepen your understanding of faith and generosity? We were privileged to host Reverend Mitchell Tull Sr., a spiritual leader, devoted father, and veteran. He shares enlightening perspectives on the intersection of religion and money. 

What if I told you that the traditional 10% rule is not the only way to give? Reverend Tull challenges us to think beyond just the monetary aspect of tithing. He reinforces the idea that our favor from God comes not from monetary giving, but by keeping God in our spectrum. We also explore how tithing is integral in maintaining the church and supporting the pastor.

Our cohost, Vanessa, narrates the story of a man who gave his food as tithing. And, how it led to his wife landing a full-time job and their debts being forgiven. This conversation is not just about monetary tithing, it’s about generosity and establishing a relationship with God. Tune in to this enlightening conversation about faith, generosity, and the transformative power of giving.

Have you ever stopped to truly appreciate the immense pressure, love, and sacrifice that fathers experience on their journey through fatherhood? In episode 30, we explore the demands that supporting a family can lead fathers to be overworked, absent, and irritable.  Traditionally, there is intense pressure on fathers to keep their families financially afloat. As rewarding as fatherhood is, it can also be stressful.

 Our cohosts discuss how fatherhood is not a sprint but a marathon and comes with unique challenges. They share how to empathize and cultivate a more supportive environment for dads everywhere. We are reminded that our Heavenly Father has set the footprint for fathers to follow. 

 As we celebrate Father's Day, join us in discussing the importance of acknowledging and valuing the essential role dads play in their children's lives.

Have you seen the Oscar-winning movie Everything Everywhere All at Once?!!! 🤔 We did and we caught its inspiration! At least from the title! 😂 In episode 29, our cohosts break down the entitlement and enabling of young people. According to a NY Post article, 75% of Gen-Zers believe they should be promoted within their first year on the job. Where is all this entitlement coming from? We believe it’s coming from previous generations - the parents. 

We explore why GenZ is most likely to feel poorly about its current financial health. Our cohosts, Shay and Vanessa, remind us of Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” They also give tips for parents and caretakers about talking to their children early and often about money and a career.
