Our guests have led and learned from others in everything from Christian living to pickleball to marriage prep to financial counseling. They’ll inspire you to find opportunities to invest in others regardless of where you are in life.

Culture: Managing God’s Money

You may say you don’t have much money, but do you ever think about how it’s all God’s, anyway? Too often we treat what we earn and spend as “ours,” but Scripture reminds us that we are only stewards of what God gives. This perspective shift is exactly what Bill and Dana Wichterman passionately impart to those they coach. Their thoughts on giving, saving, spending and eternal rewards will forever change the way you view finances and their presence in your life.

Roundtable: What Forgiveness Is and Isn’t

July 7th is National Forgiveness Day, so we’re having a hopeful and practical conversation on how to walk in forgiveness as a Christian. Usually it’s a process, not just a one-time decision, but is there a “right” way to view the act of forgiving? What does the Bible say about it? We talk about how we’ve forgiven those who’ve hurt us, the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, and why forgiveness matters in the first place.
