In today’s episode, we break down the key differences between Traditional and Roth IRAs and how they fit into the broader conversation about tax-advantaged retirement accounts. We’ll discuss when it makes sense to choose Roth over Traditional (or vice versa), how tax brackets and future uncertainty play into the decision, and some general rules of thumb to guide your choice. Most importantly, we’ll emphasize the importance of simply getting started with retirement savings—because delaying can cost more than making the “wrong” choice.

In today’s episode, we’re tackling a common financial question: Is paying off your mortgage early the right move? While being debt-free is an appealing goal, there are financial trade-offs, opportunity costs, and even biblical principles to consider. We’ll walk through the numbers, the emotional and psychological aspects, and how to balance mortgage payoff with other financial priorities.

In today’s episode, we explore the Parable of the Talents from Matthew 25:14-30 and what it teaches us about faith and action. While many people associate this passage with money, its deeper meaning is about how we receive and respond to God’s gift of faith. Jesus warns against inaction and calls us to be good stewards—not just of financial resources, but of the spiritual and material gifts we’ve been given. We’ll discuss how this applies to both our faith and finances, the dangers of fear-driven stagnation, and the importance of taking action with what God has entrusted to us.
