    (5) Is F.I.R.E. Biblical?

    Is the pursuit of early retirement a godly ambition or a "Rich Fool" trap? In this episode of The Yes Capacity, Garrett dives into one of the most controversial topics in Christian finance: the FIRE Movement (Financial Independence, Retire Early). While the secular world uses FIRE to escape work and head for the hammock, Garrett argues that for the believer, these same mathematical strategies can be used as a powerful launchpad for the Gospel. Through a deep dive into four essential biblical exhibits: from the warning of the Rich Fool in Luke to the wisdom of the ant in Proverbs—we evaluate whether saving 50-70% of your income aligns with Scripture. The conclusion? The strategy is sound, but the story needs an upgrade. We’re not looking for freedom from purpose; we’re looking for freedom for purpose. In this episode, you’ll learn: FIRE 101: A breakdown of the 4% rule, Lean FIRE, Fat FIRE, and why Coast FIRE is the ultimate bridge for Kingdom builders. The Heart Audit: How to tell if your "FIRE number" is about personal comfort or Kingdom contribution. The "RE" Reframe: Why we should replace "Retire Early" with "Redirect Everything" or "Released for the Kingdom." Strategy vs. Idolatry: Addressing common objections about trusting spreadsheets over God and the ethics of saving versus giving. The Generosity Floor: Why your generosity rate must be set before your savings rate to avoid building a life with a "closed fist." Stop being dependent on a paycheck to obey God. Tune in to find out how to build a financial runway that allows you to say "Yes" to your calling right now, not someday. The Yes Capacity is the show for motivated Christians who want to create the time and financial capacity to say yes to God now — not someday.

In this episode of The Yes Capacity, Garrett sits down with Cameron Thorn, Director of Advancement at MPWR Coaching and a Jan-certified high-performance coach. Cameron shares a raw and powerful testimony of how God used his darkest moments—including multiple arrests and deep addiction—to lead him toward a life of profound purpose and leadership. Cameron doesn't just talk about high performance from a strategic level; he dives into the holistic nature of health, emphasizing that true success requires being "safe, seen, soothed, and secure" in our relationships. He challenges the "hustle at all costs" mentality, offering a framework for how to be emotionally and spiritually present for your family while pursuing professional excellence. In this episode, you’ll learn: The Journey from Rock Bottom: How knocking on 100 doors a day as a salesman led to a life-changing encounter with the Gospel. The "Power of Showing Up": Why physical presence is nothing without emotional presence, and how to bridge that gap. A Holistic View of Wealth: Why financial security is a vital "safety" need, but never the ultimate end goal. Intentionally Curious Networking: Why the best way to build a professional network is to stop "selling" and start asking deeper questions.

    (3) Stop Waiting for 65 - God Wants to Use You Now

    Is the "American Dream" of retirement actually keeping you from your Kingdom calling? In this episode of The Yes Capacity, Garrett challenges the conventional script we’ve all been sold: grind for 40 years, save into a 401k, and finally start "living" in your 60s. By looking at the lives of biblical giants like Moses, Abraham, and Caleb, we discover a powerful truth: God’s calling doesn’t have an expiration date, and it certainly doesn't include an abdication of purpose. Garrett introduces a game-changing financial framework called Coast FI (Coast Financial Independence). This strategy isn't about quitting work; it’s about front-loading your stewardship so that compound interest does the heavy lifting, allowing you to "coast" into meaningful, mission-driven work decades earlier than expected. In this episode, you’ll learn: The History of Retirement: Why our current model is a 19th-century invention, not a biblical mandate. The Power of Coast FI: How hitting a specific investment threshold early can buy back your time and freedom. The "Unleashed" Church: What would happen if millions of believers worked from a place of freedom rather than financial fear? The Margin for Discipleship: Why financial strategy is a vital tool for family legacy and presence. Stop waiting for "someday" to be the person God called you to be. Tune in to find out how to build a life where your calling is possible now, not just in your 60s. The Yes Capacity is the show for motivated Christians who want to create the time and financial capacity to say yes to God now — not someday.

    (2) The Spiritual Discipline of Automation

    What if the secret to a deeper prayer life was hidden in your bank settings? In this episode of The Yes Capacity, Garrett explores the high cost of "decision fatigue" and how mental clutter acts as a barrier to spiritual growth. We often quote Psalm 46:10,“Be still and know that I am God”, but Garrett argues that stillness isn’t just an emotional posture; it’s a structural one. If your life is engineered for constant reactivity, you’ll never have the margin to hear God’s still, small voice. Enter the surprising spiritual discipline of Automation. By moving from reactive management to intentional design, you can protect your best energy for your family, your calling, and your relationship with Christ. Garrett breaks down how he and his wife, Lauren, used these exact systems to hit major milestones and how you can do the same to gather money little by little as promised in Proverbs. In this episode, you’ll learn: The Cost of Decision Fatigue: Why managing small bills is draining the energy you need for your spouse and kids. Mary vs. Martha: A fresh look at what it means to be "distracted by many things" in the digital age. The 3-Step Automation Roadmap: A practical guide to automating your bills, your giving, and your investments. The Math of Time: Why starting with $50 today is more powerful than starting with $500 ten years from now. The Eighth Wonder: How compound interest allows your money to work for the Kingdom while you sleep. Stop being dragged around by your finances. Tune in to learn how to clear the clutter, simplify your systems, and finally create the margin your soul has been longing for. The Yes Capacity is the show for motivated Christians who want to create the time and financial capacity to say yes to God now — not someday.

Dr. Jackson shares his journey from growing up "super poor" in a pastor’s home to leading a university through massive growth and expansion. Together, they dive into the heart of what it means to be a Christian steward in a modern, consumer-driven world. Dr. Jackson challenges the traditional lane most of us are told to stay in, offering a bold vision for Christians in the marketplace. He believes the mega-companies of the future should be started by people of faith and that entrepreneurship is a powerful vehicle for advancing the Kingdom. Whether you are working a trade, starting a side hustle, or navigating a corporate career, this conversation will help you discern your calling and align your finances with eternal purposes. In this episode, you’ll learn: The "Full-Charge" Mindset: How a year of bookkeeping at age 18 shaped Dr. Jackson’s entire approach to leadership and finance.
