    Breaking the Spirit of Mammon: A Biblical Blueprint for Stewarding Money Wisely

    A lot of people think multiplication starts when more money shows up, but Danielle McAllister's story shows it actually begins in the small, everyday decisions we make with what we already have. I sat down with her to talk about stewardship, money, and what it really looks like to build wealth without losing alignment. We also get practical: budgeting, avoiding lifestyle creep, and learning to manage money in a way that brings peace instead of pressure. Danielle shares what it looked like in the early years of marriage when there wasn't much margin, but there was still a commitment to be faithful. From consistent giving to learning how to steward money well and stay out of debt, those simple habits became the foundation for everything that followed, including managing their family office and investing in real estate. What really stands out is how giving shaped their entire journey. Even before there was "enough," they chose to give first, and that decision changed their relationship with money completely. Today, that same posture has grown into a family foundation focused on providing housing and support for moms in need. If you're trying to figure out how to steward what you have right now, this conversation will give you a clearer, more grounded perspective.

    When Following God Gets Costly: Surrendering, Pruning Seasons, & Healing from Cancer

    She finally surrendered everything to God on a hilltop, and two weeks later, she was facing a cancer diagnosis with a peace that didn't make sense. I sat down with Dayna Brooks to talk about what really changes when you move from knowing about God to actually surrendering to Him. We get into how that shift shows up in your health, identity, relationships, and leadership. If you've ever felt like something is missing in your faith, this conversation will hit close to home. Dayna is the founder of Selah Grace and Selah Strength, boutique fitness and wellness studios built to support women in strength, restoration, and overall well-being. She shares how years as a stay-at-home mom left her feeling lost, and how fitness became the starting point for rebuilding her confidence and purpose. That personal journey turned into creating faith-led spaces where women can grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. Her leadership is grounded in intention, excellence, and staying aligned with God. We also talk about what obedience can actually cost, including losing a large part of her business after bringing Jesus back to the center of it. Dayna opens up about walking through pruning seasons, trusting God when things don't make sense, and staying faithful in the middle of it. You'll hear how surrender prepared her for both the storm and the healing that followed. It's an honest, grounded conversation that will challenge the way you think about trust, faith, and letting go.

    One Obedient Yes: Adoption, Redemption, & Multiplying What's in Your Hand

    Life with six kids is full of surprises, and sometimes it feels like you're just figuring it out one day at a time. I sat down with Lynsey Cantlon, a wife, mom, and real estate advisor who has adopted five kids and built a thriving business, to hear how she navigates the chaos with faith and grit. We talk about what it really looks like to say yes to the hard things - adoption, foster care, divorce, and major life transitions - while still showing up for your family and your work. You'll get honest, practical insights on leaning on faith, community, and God's guidance when life feels overwhelming. Lynsey shares how her journey started with one unexpected adoption and grew into a household full of love, laughter, and big personalities. We chat about the real challenges, from paperwork and logistics to raising kids with trauma, and how she balances it all with a real estate career on the Washington-Idaho border. This isn't a perfect story, but a real-life faith, obedience, and learning to trust the process. If you're juggling big life decisions or looking for encouragement in parenting, family, or work, her story will hit home. From finding the right home for her family to meeting her husband in the middle of rebuilding her life, Lynsey's story shows how faith and courage make space for God's plans. You'll hear about the everyday wins and struggles, and why saying yes, even when it's scary, can multiply your impact in ways you never expected. By the end, you'll feel inspired, a little more courageous, and reminded that sometimes the best stories happen when we just take the next step.

    How to Grieve Friendship Loss, Have Hard Conversations, & Stop Parenting from Fear

    You lost a friend, not to a fight, not to a falling out, but to silence, and nobody prepared you for how disorienting that would feel. In this conversation with Joanne Johnson, speaker, coach, and founder of Give4, we get into the real and often unspoken terrain of adult friendships: the seasons that shift, the relationships that fade without closure, and what it actually looks like to navigate all of it with honesty, prayer, and grace. Joanne brings over 25 years of wisdom in ministry and relationships and does not hold back, from how to identify who truly belongs in your inner circle, to why avoidance quietly destroys even the closest friendships, to what it means to release someone and trust that God is making room for something new. We also get into parenting from fear versus faith and why humility might be the most underrated tool you have as a parent. If you have been in a season of losing friends, feeling isolated, or quietly carrying fears about your family that you haven't said out loud, this episode will meet you right where you are. Joanne's upcoming book Resilient Friendships, and devotional The World Needs Your YES are both releasing in 2026, and after this conversation, you will want both.

    Raising Kids And Scaling A Business: Faith-Fueled Strategies To Build With The Right Heart Posture

    Martha Mazor didn't set out to build a childcare empire; she was just a mom trying to figure it out. But somewhere between raising three boys, flipping appliances out of a tiny apartment, and trusting God through some really hard seasons, something remarkable happened. In this episode, Martha pulls back the curtain on how she went from survival mode to scaling thriving childcare centers. We get into the real stuff: mindset shifts, faith-fueled decisions, the messy middle of marriage and motherhood, and how she built something that genuinely works for everyone inside it. We also talk about boundaries, delegation, and staying present with your kids while your business is growing. Martha doesn't make it sound easy; she makes it sound doable, which honestly feels more valuable. And if you've ever wondered whether your faith and your ambition can actually coexist? Martha has a lot to say about that, including how she's now helping other childcare leaders step into their own season of multiplication. Whether you're a mom, a leader, or just someone who needs proof that bold moves are still possible, this one's for you.

    Doing the Heart Work: Faith, Friendship, & Root Cause Healing with Marissa McCrory

    Some conversations stay with you because they put words to things you've been carrying for a long time. Sitting down with my dear friend Marissa McCrory, we talked honestly about faith, friendship, healing, hard seasons, and what it looks like to bring your real thoughts and feelings to God instead of trying to hold it all together. We also get into comparison, community, betrayal, boundaries, and why the heart work matters more than most of us realize. Marissa is a Holistic Health Practitioner, Educator, and Founder of The Lumina Path, where she helps women get to the bottom of fatigue, bloating, hormone issues, stubborn weight, and feeling off, even when their labs look "normal." Her approach combines functional testing, practical lifestyle shifts, and whole-body wellness to help women build real energy, resilience, and confidence in their health again. And as you'll hear in this conversation, her work goes deeper than symptoms. If you've ever felt isolated, disappointed, weary, or just ready for a deeper level of healing, I think this episode will really speak to you. We talk about spiritual growth, healthy relationships, gut health, discernment, and learning how to stay open to what God is doing even in the hard parts. It honestly felt like one of those conversations that was always meant to be shared.

But so many people never go to him with the issues of their heart." [00:08:57] – Marissa McCrory "You should have friends in real life that you can go to and be vulnerable with. And if you don't, then it's time to do a little inventory on what you need to change, because that is where fulfillment really comes from."

    What Is An Investment Fund? Ways to Multiply Your Money and Steward God-Given Resources

    You can work hard for decades, save consistently, and still miss the opportunity to truly multiply what you've been given. In this episode, I break down what an investment fund is, how private investing works, and why understanding your options is such an important part of stewarding your finances. I walk you through the roles of general partners and limited partners and show how money actually grows in a fund. If you've ever felt confused about hedge funds, real estate funds, or alternative investments, I make it simple to understand. This episode also revisits the heart behind Mandate to Multiply: faith, family, and finances working together. I share why being intentional in your marriage, parenting, and personal growth directly affects how you lead and steward your resources. Multiplication isn't just about money, but also about stewarding everything God has entrusted to you. When your heart is full, your decisions, business, and family thrive. I also talk about practical steps for getting started, including what to look for in a private investment fund, why SEC registration matters, and why a third-party admin can make all the difference. I want you to shift from just saving to intentionally multiplying what you have. Whether you're new to investing or exploring non-traditional opportunities like cryptocurrency or pooled funds, I share the mindset and tools to take confident next steps.

[00:03:50] – Melissa Edmiston "I just want everybody out there fending their money out to go work, to put it to work so that it can grow and you can do so much good with it."

    How to Trust Again After Hurt or Betrayal: Multiplying Requires Trusting Again

    You said you'd never let anyone that close again, and yet here you are, still carrying the weight of betrayal and wondering how to trust after being hurt. In this episode, I'm talking about what it really looks like to trust again after you've been betrayed and hurt, and not the polished version, but the honest one. The one where you're still replaying conversations and wondering how it all went sideways. I share what I've learned about the difference between guarding your heart and building walls, why boundaries actually matter, and how isolation can feel safe, but slowly shrink your world. We also talk about church hurt, hard goodbyes, and why avoiding conflict usually costs more than facing it. What changed everything for me? Realizing that Jesus knew betrayal was coming and loved anyway. That reframed strength for me. It completely shifted how I see vulnerability, strength, and what it means to keep my heart open without being naïve. If you're rebuilding after disappointment, this conversation is for you. Betrayal may have happened, but it doesn't get to define you. You can heal, grow, and trust again without losing yourself in the process. Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] Introduction [00:01:51] Why relearning trust matters [00:02:08] Hurt vs. betrayal [00:04:37] Steps from pain to peace [00:05:20] Lessons from the ultimate example [00:07:46] Protect your heart without closing it off [00:10:45] When community lets you down [00:14:04] Opening up without fear [00:18:39] Why staying closed holds you back [00:19:51] Handling rejection without losing yourself [00:25:49] Moving forward without carrying the hurt [00:28:45] Steps to stay open and free Memorable Quotes: "God knows that in community and surrounded by people is where we're called to not only be poured into, but also to pour out and to make an impact and to help other people." [00:19:10] – Melissa Edmiston "Betrayal may have wounded you, but it does not get to define your future. You can trust again, not because people are perfect and because you're never gonna get hurt again, but because God is faithful."
