    EP 118: Are You Living Intentionally... or Just Drifting?

    Episode 118: Are You Living Intentionally... or Just Drifting?Have you ever looked up and wondered, "How did I get here?" The truth is, most of us don't intentionally neglect our faith, our family, our finances, or our calling... We simply drift. In Episode 118 of Prosper in the Kingdom, Wendy and I discuss why the biggest difference between the life you have and the life you want isn't talent, opportunity, or even hard work... It's intentionality. We'll explore a simple principle that has shaped my life for years: prepare before the door opens. Whether you're pursuing Christ, strengthening your marriage, building wealth, or preparing for your next opportunity, the decisions you make today often determine the opportunities you'll be ready for tomorrow. 📅 A New Rhythm for PITKWe're also excited to introduce a new format for Prosper in the Kingdom!

    Episode 117: A Collection of Good Ideas Isn't a Financial Plan

    Episode 117: A Collection of Good Ideas Isn't a Financial PlanHave you ever stopped to wonder if your financial decisions actually fit together? Most of us have access to more financial information than ever before. Podcasts, YouTube, social media, books, and conversations with friends all offer valuable advice. But collecting good ideas isn't the same as having a plan. In this episode, Jon and Wendy explore why so many families end up with what Jon calls a "duct tape financial plan" and why true financial stewardship requires seeing the whole picture, not just individual pieces. Using the timeless story of the blind men and the elephant, they discuss the difference between knowledge, understanding, and wisdom, and how a holistic financial strategy can bring clarity and confidence to your financial decisions. ☕ Around the Kitchen Table TodayWhy good financial advice can still leave you feeling uncertainThe difference between collecting information and building a strategyWhat a "duct tape financial plan" looks likeHow biblical wisdom helps us see the bigger pictureWhy every financial decision should support your overall purpose and goals 📖 ScriptureProverbs 24:3-4 (ESV) "By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches." ☕ Kitchen Table ChallengeBefore looking for your next financial tip, take inventory of what you already have. Gather your savings, investments, insurance, debt, retirement accounts, and estate documents. Then ask yourself one simple question: "Do all of my financial decisions work together toward the life I'm trying to build?" Sometimes the greatest breakthrough isn't learning something new. It's finally seeing the whole picture.

    Ep 116: Protecting Your Family: The Four Documents Every Adult Needs

    Protecting Your Family: The Four Documents Every Adult NeedsProsper in the Kingdom • Episode 116 If I asked you whether protecting your family is important... I'm guessing you'd answer, "Absolutely." But if I asked whether you have the legal documents in place to protect them if something unexpected happened tomorrow... Would your answer be the same? Over the past fifteen years, Jon has asked hundreds of families about their estate plan. Almost everyone agrees it's important. Yet only a small percentage have actually completed one—and many of those haven't updated their documents in years. Why? Because most people think estate planning is something only wealthy families need. At Prosper in the Kingdom, we believe it's something much bigger. That's why we call it Legacy Protection Planning—because this isn't just about your assets. It's about protecting the people you love. In this episode of Prosper in the Kingdom, Jon Cleaver and Wendy Lee discuss the four essential legal documents every adult should have, why every parent of an 18-year-old needs to understand how the rules change, and how biblical stewardship includes preparing your family for life's unexpected moments. In This Episode, We Cover:• Why we call it Legacy Protection Planning instead of Estate Planning • The Four Essential Documents Every Adult Needs • The common myths that keep families from taking action • What every parent of an 18-year-old should know • How preparation today creates peace of mind tomorrow • Why protecting your family is one of the greatest acts of stewardship One of the greatest gifts you can leave your family isn't simply wealth. It's clarity. Because Legacy Protection Planning isn't about preparing for your death. It's about loving your family enough to prepare for life without you. Join Us for Our Free WorkshopProtecting Your Family: A Legacy Protection Planning Workshop📅 Wednesday, July 23 🕣 8:30 PM Eastern / 5:30 PM Pacific We'll walk through the Four Essential Documents Every Adult Needs, explain why they matter, and answer your questions in plain English. 👉 Register here: https://links.prosperinthekingdom.com/widget/form/uxhTuOXR7g20KcvZAQLG?assigned_agent_email=joncleaver@pitkcoaching.com Join the Prosper in the Kingdom CommunityContinue the conversation with a growing community committed to becoming healthy, wealthy, and wise through biblical stewardship and practical financial education. 👉 https://www.facebook.com/groups/prosperinthekingdom If today's episode encouraged you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone you love.

    Ep 115: Reading Another Book Won't Change Your Financial Future. This Will!

    Ep115: Reading Another Book Won't Change Your Financial Future - This Will!Prosper in the Kingdom • Episode 115 A book changed my life. Not because I read it. Because I finally did something with what I learned. In today's world, we're surrounded by financial information. Books, podcasts, YouTube videos, online courses, AI, and social media have made learning easier than ever. Yet despite having more access to financial education than any generation before us, many families still feel stuck. Why? Because information alone doesn't change your financial future. Implementation does. In this episode of Prosper in the Kingdom, Jon C and Wendy Lee discuss why so many people become lifelong consumers of financial content without ever experiencing lasting financial transformation. Jon shares the story of how Rich Dad Poor Dad changed the trajectory of his life, why the real lesson had nothing to do with real estate, and how one shift in thinking led him from depending on a paycheck to pursuing financial freedom. If you've ever found yourself reading another book, watching another video, or waiting until you know "just a little more" before taking action, this episode is for you. In This Episode, We Cover:• How one book changed Jon's financial future • The difference between financial knowledge and financial wisdom • Why most people don't have an information problem—they have an implementation problem • The role of biblical stewardship in building long-term wealth • Why no one cares about your family's financial future more than you do • The simple framework: Learn. Apply. Repeat. The goal isn't to become a financial expert. The goal is to become a faithful steward. Because the families who build lasting wealth aren't necessarily the ones who know the most. They're the ones who consistently act on what they know.

    Ep111: The Most Dangerous Financial Habit Nobody Talks About (It's Not Debt)

    The Most Dangerous Financial Habit Nobody Talks About (It's Not Debt) Prosper in the Kingdom • Episode 106 What if the biggest threat to your financial future isn't debt? What if it isn't inflation? What if it isn't taxes, a market crash, or even a lack of income? What if the most dangerous financial habit in America is simply accepting "normal" without ever questioning where it leads? Most people don't intentionally choose their financial life. They inherit it. They inherit beliefs about money, spending habits, financial assumptions, and ideas about success from family, friends, culture, and social media. The problem? Normal and wise are not always the same thing. In Episode 106 of Prosper in the Kingdom, Jon C and Wendy Lee challenge one of the most overlooked dangers in personal finance: financial autopilot. They discuss why so many people feel stuck financially despite working hard, how common financial behaviors often become invisible, and why true financial freedom has less to do with making more money and more to do with making decisions from a position of purpose instead of pressure. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything you're supposed to do but still aren't making the progress you hoped for, this episode will challenge the way you think about money, stewardship, and the future you're building. In This Episode, We Cover: • The real villain behind many financial struggles • Why financial rules are not the same as financial wisdom • The hidden danger of accepting "normal" • How financial autopilot quietly impacts your future • The question that can transform almost every financial decision • Why financial freedom is really about having more options • How to move from pressure-driven decisions to purpose-driven stewardship Most people don't need another financial rule. They need a better framework for making financial decisions. Because the goal isn't merely to accumulate wealth. The goal is to build a life where you have the freedom to make decisions from a position of purpose instead of pressure.
