I heard a story yesterday about Billy Graham getting a speeding ticket.

He went to his assigned court date, and the judge asked how he would plead.

"Guilty, no contest, your honor."

The judge (who seemed to recognize Billy) replied, "Guilty as charged!".

And then proceeded to rise from the bench, make his way to the Bailiff where he set down a $20 dollar bill and said, "This man's debt is paid in full" and then invited Billy to a steak dinner as a treat from the judge himself.

Billy would use this illustration in his preaching as a mirror of the Gospel:

The Judge who declared me guilty has paid my fine in full, and then invites me to the table that I don't deserve.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound.

I hope this blesses somebody today.

God bless, and Happy Tuesday!

Generosity and stewardship begin with a deeper question: Who owns it?

When we view wealth as God's resources entrusted to our care, it changes how we approach every financial decision. The question goes from "What do I want to do with what's mine?" to "How am I going to handle what I've been entrusted with?"

That shift in perspective gives stewardship purpose, and generosity a foundation to stand on.

I hope this is a blessing and an encouragement to someone today. God bless and Happy Wednesday!

Big News!

As a Certified Kingdom Advisor®, I've long been passionate about helping Christian families and ministry leaders steward the resources God has entrusted to them. Today, I'm excited to announce the expansion of my practice to provide financial planning support for churches and faith-based nonprofit organizations committed to fulfilling the Great Commission.

Providing guidance at the organizational level is a natural extension of our mission: helping Kingdom-minded families, ministries, and organizations steward their resources wisely so they can remain focused on their God-given purpose and maximize their impact for God's Kingdom.

This expanded service model will focus on helping churches and ministries strengthen their financial foundation through:

• Retirement plan consulting and participant education
• Biblical financial wellness and stewardship programs for staff and congregations
• Investment and stewardship guidance
• Organizational financial planning support
• Strategic conversations around long-term ministry sustainability

It is an honor and a privilege to come alongside the churches, ministry leaders, and nonprofit organizations that are faithfully serving others, advancing the Gospel, and making disciples.

If you're a pastor, church leader, ministry executive, or board member seeking a trusted financial partner, I'd be honored to connect and learn more about your mission.

God bless!

A trust can help structure an inheritance. But it cant replace a conversation.

If you're worried about how your heirs will handle wealth, talk with them about the values, intentions, and reasoning behind your plan, not just what they'll receive.

Preparing your heirs matters just as much as preparing the assets they'll inherit.

Preserving wealth takes intentional planning. Strategies such as thoughtful, long-term, tax-sensitive investment planning can help you transfer assets efficiently while preparing future generations for stewardship.

At Edward Jones, we partner with you and your tax and legal professionals to bring clarity, continuity and purpose to multigenerational planning.

I enjoyed reading this recent Kiplinger article featuring our Head of Wealth Management and Field Management, David Chubak.

One point that stood out to me is how many families are balancing long-term goals with desire to support loved ones today. It’s something that often comes up in conversations with clients, whether it’s helping adult children with housing expenses, student debt or other financial challenges.

As David notes, "The reality is we live in an age of financial uncertainty and anxiety like no other." Having open conversations and a thoughtful plan can help families navigate those decisions with greater confidence.

What financial lesson or value do you hope to pass along to the next generation?

Our exclusive national survey on inheritance reveals how adult children and parents are — and are not — working together to make the most of assets built over a lifetime.

Election years get people talking about a lot of topics, and for many people, investments are among them. If that's you, give this a read and then give me a call!

God bless and Happy Monday!

With the 2026 midterm elections approaching, investors are once again asking what politics may mean for markets and whether the elections have the potential to disrupt this year's positive momentum. History suggests that elections often create short-term uncertainty, but they have rarely been the pr...

Did you know that diversification is a biblical principle?

I'd be willing to bet that most didn't (Including me until a few years ago).

"But divide your investments among many places, for you do not know what risks might lie ahead. When clouds are heavy, the rains come down. Whether a tree falls north or south, it stays where it falls. Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest." - Ecclesiastes 11:2-4

The broader point I want to make here is that the wisdom found in Scripture is timeless. Still relevant, still applicable, still life-changing. For any subject, but especially for how we approach our finances.

They may not have had the complexity of financial markets back then that we have today, but the principles that govern our human existence have not changed AT ALL.

Following biblical financial principles does not guarantee the absence of financial trouble or hardship, simply because even if we make the best decisions possible there are external forces at work way beyond our control.

But it does provide a rock solid framework that you can use to make confident decisions in every circumstance and every season.

This is exactly the kind of approach that I have built my practice around, and walk my folks through every single day.

I hope this encourages somebody today. Here if you need me!
