    Faith, Family, Finances: Conversations with Aaron Spielbauer

    In this episode of Business with Christ we sit down with Aaron Spielbauer, a financial advisor from Menasha, husband and father of seven. Aaron shares his journey from being a school teacher to a trusted financial advisor, and how faith and family shaped that path. Aaron discusses the personal nature of money, the importance of trust in financial relationships, and how integrating faith into work strengthens both. He explains how small daily habits—like reading and intentional choices inspired by The Slight Edge—compounded to change his life and leadership. We hear how Aaron leads his large family through example, the balance between words and actions, and the value of community groups like men’s and parents’ study groups. He also reflects on inviting faith into the workplace through the Business with Christ network and why relationship-building matters for business and spiritual growth. Takeaways include prioritizing relationships over busyness, aligning actions with beliefs, adopting simple habits for long-term improvement, and being open to serving others through both professional advice and everyday presence at home and in the community.

    Business with Christ | Builder Series: Tim Babler’s Journey from Get-Rich-Quick to Worship Ministry

    What happens when your plan is to “get rich quick,” but God gently reroutes your entire life toward ministry, worship, and community instead? In this Builder Series episode of Business with Christ, we sit down with Tim Babler, Worship Minister at St. Mark Ministries in De Pere, Wisconsin. Tim shares how he went from chasing a high paying business career to teaching middle school in Miami, leading worship across multiple churches, and eventually answering a call to full time worship ministry in Wisconsin. Along the way, Tim talks about: • Growing up in a ministry family, trying to run from ministry, and getting called back • The college moment on a rainy football field when he almost quit and asked God for clarity • Moving from Florida to Wisconsin and learning to see De Pere as “home” • Serving as a worship minister, youth mentor, and yes, a bartender who ministers in a bar • What it means to hit rock bottom and realize “the Rock at the bottom is Christ” • The power of identity statements like “I am chosen” and “I am enough” • Why every Christian should have a personal mission statement • Encouragement to business leaders not to be ashamed of the gospel, even in the workplace Tim’s story is a reminder that: • Ministry does not only happen inside a church • Your gifts can be used in unexpected places • God often calls us to impact, not comfort • There is no pit so deep that grace cannot reach you At the end of the episode, we ask a simple question we would love you to answer in the comments: What is your personal mission statement? For your life, your work, or your business, how would you put it into words?
