    Ep.485: Inheritance Gone Right with Sean and Jill Maher: Part 2

    We've all heard of nightmare stories about inheritance gone wrong. Our mission today is to help you do it right. Inheritance, wealth transfer, wills, estate planning... whatever you call it, no matter the amount, it's important to be intentional around how to best pass on property, money, and items after someone passes away. This is kicking off our series this month "Things We've Been Putting Off." We're going to be talking about some areas we've been ignoring and what we can do to step into those arenas equipped and with courage. This subject of estate planning is one of those subjects that we often avoid, yet it is extremely relevant to us as people in midlife, and it's also relevant as our parents age. Joining us to today are Sean and Jill Maher. Sean is a principal at Valley Forge Financial Group and CEO of Valley Forge Family Office in Pennsylvania. Jill is a licensed psychological counselor. This powerteam wrote the book, The Greatest Gift: Nine Principles to transfer your legacy along with your wealth. In this conversation, we explore the complexities of inheritance, camping on themes you may not associate with estate planning such as family values, traditions, humility, and generosity. We discuss how these elements shape the way wealth is passed down and the emotional implications involved. The Mahers share personal stories and insights on how to navigate difficult conversations about money and inheritance, highlighting the need for open communication and understanding within families. They also address the challenges of fairness versus equality in inheritance and the significance of creating a safe environment for these discussions.

    Ep.482: Make Room for Joy: Week #3 of Advent with Paul Robie

    As we consider joy during Advent we ask why don't we experience it more here on earth. Our guest this week, Paul Robie, says Christians should be the most joyful people on the planet. We have the Good News to direct our steps and our spirits. This wrestling with joy is likely why joy is an Advent theme since the beginning of Advent themes. We can collectively consider what it means to hold joy in our lives. We can also encourage each other in the practical ways we can cultivate it. Paul is a lifelong pastor, current church consultant, and mentor to seminary students. Practices of faith and how they form us are what he talks about all day long and we get the benefit of his wisdom in this series. Whether you are wondering why others aren't more joyful, or wanting to experience joy this Advent and in the new year, this episode is for you. A FEW THINGS MENTIONED -One Thousand Gifts- Ann Voskamp -Happiness- Randy Alcorn -Happiness Is a Serious Problem- Dennis Prager -The Road Less Traveled- Scott Peck -Psalms 1 -John 15 QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU RISE How have you separated happiness and holiness? Do you agree that Christians should be the happiest people in the world? Who or what am I allowing to steal my joy? What expectations can you let go of in order to make room to be surprised by joy?

    December is starting to move quickly, who could use some peace right about now? We are in an Advent series and today we are making room for PEACE. Joining us is pastor, seminary professor, and coach Jim Singleton. In this insightful and compelling interview, Jim helps us explore the concept of peace in a chaotic world, focusing on the need for both external and internal peace. We dive into the historical context of peace, the impact of digital distractions, and the importance of spiritual practices. Jim highlights the cost of true peace, the concept of holy indifference, and the deeper meaning of SHALOM as peace amidst conflict. If you want practical steps to access shalom, hear about the role of community in finding peace, and discover the connection between creativity and spiritual well-being, this rich conversation is for you. A FEW THINGS MENTIONED - Joshua 3 -Mark 1 -Philippians 4 -Acts 16 QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU RISE What distraction are keeping you from following the Ark? What high reward are you looking for at a low cost? Does your peace feel more like broth or stew? Whether you are having broth or stew, where is the connection in your daily practices to that, how does the feeling that you are either eating broth or stew how are your daily practices supporting that or not supporting that? How can you use Godly community to encourage and grow the shalom of God in your life? LET’S CONNECT! Did you like this episode? Let us know and leave a review on itunes or share it with a friend.

    Ep.480: Make Room for Hope: Week #1 of Advent with Krista Gilbert and Alex Kuykendall

    Advent is the season anticipating Christmas. This first week of Advent we kick off a four-week series covering the timeless themes of hope, peace, joy, and love. We start this week with hope. Hope is the anticipation that good can happen. And when we know God is good, we can believe he can make good happen. Hope is also believing Christ will return. This is why we focus in on hope during Advent. Whether you light an Advent candle on a wreath, read a special devotion, or simply consider the miracle that is God coming as a human baby, we hope you will take a moment to consider what it means to anticipate the coming of Christ. Then and again.
