    Ep. 33 " Learning Through Experience" - Ross McCampbell

    Ross McCampbell is the Executive Director at WBCL Radio in Fort Wayne, IN. Early on in life, Ross knew he wanted to do something in television or radio. After earning a communications degree from Ohio State University, he felt the pull to radio. After a few entry level positions, Ross interviewed at WBCL in 1989 and has been there ever since. In 2011, Ross became the Executive Director, which is the position he still holds. Ross shares about his time at WBCL and how in today's culture, people usually bounce around jobs and look for that "next best thing". He talks about God's faithfulness during his time at WBCL. We spend time in this episode looking at Paul's letter to the church in Philippi, where we specifically look at Philippians 4:12. Learning about what God's word says about money, wealth, and possessions takes time and is a process. The more we dwell and dedicate ourselves to learning, the more experiences we have that make us understand things better. We also discuss how Jesus valued balance during his time on earth which often led him going off by himself to dwell and pray. Finally, listen as Ross shares stories from his earlier life on how God's provision came through time and time again. How lessons learned during those times have made him into the person and leader he is today.

    Ep. 31 "Little Steps of Obedience" - Rudy Mahara

    Rudy Mahara is the Regional Vice President of the National Christian Foundation in Indiana. After serving in the military post 9/11 and deploying to Iraq, Rudy joined his dad's financial planning practice. It was during his time as an advisor where Rudy learned about National Christian Foundation. Over time, he felt a nudge from the Holy Spirit to pursue working for the National Christian Foundation. Now, Rudy can align his financial expertise with giving and generosity discussions he has with other advisors and prospective givers. Rudy joins the podcast to discuss Deuteronomy 8:17-18. Here we see God really challenging and training the Israelites for what is to come. He wants us to have wealth, however, we often think the power comes from our own doing when ultimately it is God's power giving us the ability to create wealth. We also spend time talking about abundance and sacrificial giving and how we need to be obedient to the Holy Spirit's nudging in our lives. Rudy also challenges us on relational giving. Sometimes it is talking to a neighbor on the porch or sharing a meal together that makes the difference. Learn more about National Christian Foundation here: ncfgiving.com

    Ep.29 "Growth for Good" - Brian Holtz

    Brian is the Chief Executive Officer of Compass - A bible based financial resource organization. After a 15-year career in the corporate world, Brian never thought it was on his agenda to lead a non-profit, but God's agenda was different.

In this episode we unpack the parable of the talents in Matthew 25: 14-30. Brian has different points he dives into when it comes to ownership, our relationships, and how the worst thing we can do is...nothing.

    Ep. 27 "Asking the Hard Questions" - David Toussaint

    Do we involve God in every aspect of our life? Do we allow enough space in our lives to partner with God for him to have an active role in our lives? Can he trust us with more? David Toussaint joins me on today's episode to answer these questions and more. David is a part of the Compass community and is also active in financial coaching. In addition, he just completed another book, When Money Gets Personal. David shares stories of how God has worked in his life going all the way back to his real estate days and how God showed his faithfulness during that experience. David and I discuss Luke 16:11 amongst other verses in scripture. Here in Luke we find ourselves wondering what we need to do to be trusted with true riches. It often starts with how we are stewarding our worldly wealth. Finally, in today's episode, we spend time talking about God's expectations of us and how we are constantly challenged by the world that is trying to pull us away from him. https://compass1.org/ When Money Gets Personal: https://a.co/d/5C2dmnx
