Our good friend from Inspire Advisors is back, and he has a transformational story to share. When we started iWork4Him 8 ½ years ago, Luke Andrews asked to be a part of what we were doing. Little did he know how God would use that decision to help change the trajectory of his life. Luke is here today to talk with us not only about Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) but also how God, a book, and a radio show, changed his heart and his business model.

If you sense a change on the wind in your own life, you won’t want to miss this episode on transitions and trust and how BRI can shift the war on Christianity in America today.

Know Yourself Know Your Money
03-12-21 - New Podcast Episode Alert.png

Money has a way of twisting us. It has a way of taking over and driving us crazy. If we don’t manage our money, it can manage us. If we don’t put parameters around our money, we can lose sleep and peace and it could damage our most important earthly relationships. In order to manage your money in a way that reflects Christ in us, whether this is at home or in our work life, we need to first know and understand the attitudes and actions in our life surrounding how we handle money. Second, we need to be knowing where our money is going. Rachel Cruze is back with another best selling book, Know Yourself, Know your money. She is going to pull all this together for us so that no matter where we are or what we are doing, our faith, our work and our money are all tied to Jesus in us.

Rachel Cruze grew up as the middle child of Dave Ramsey.  Her father’s job was to talk about money, debt, and helping people to become debt free.  He also talked about Jesus in their home.  Rachel shares on the air and in her new book, Know Yourself, Know your Money about the impact our upbringing has on how we handle money. 

It was quite a shock to Rachel when she discovered that not everyone looks at money the say way she does.  In fact, she could see that there were some distinct differences in how households talked and handled money and how this directly impacts our response to money.  80% of what we do is from observation, and only 20% is from head knowledge.  Imagine if we all took the time to know ourselves and how it relates to handling our money. 

Throughout her new book, Know Yourself, Know your Money – Rachel Cruze shares insights and helpful direction to a healthier perspective.  Winston and Rachel have been married for 11 years and are exact opposites for their money tendencies.  As each couple struggles with merging finances and having financial harmony, Rachels’ book is a great help to a successful, healthy approach.  Imagine how healthy the next generation could be if their homes do a better job dealing with money in a secure environment.  We are giving away a copy of her book on our listener line:  866-713-9675

Stewarding Your Investments To Make A Positive Impact On Our Communities & The World Around Us
12-04-20 - New Podcast Episode Alert.png

It’s the end of the year. Many of you are celebrating the end of 2020. I have the perfect way for you to close out your year. Evaluate your portfolio of investments and see how your investments are impacting the culture we live in.  Consider your trip to the local huge home improvement store. Both Major companies are building up your community and not tearing it down with investments and donations to organizations that want to tear us apart at the seams.  However, your desire for that vaccine might twist you a little because 2 out of 3 of the companies want to give you a shot but use the proceeds to promote organizations that desire an end to the biblical view of marriage and want to use aborted babies for experiments.  One major soft drink company scores great and the one that makes Mountain Dew – not so much. What am I talking about, the inspire Investing – Inspire Insights program that gives you a score for companies or funds that you invest in to see how they are either building up communities or tearing them apart. Here to clear it all up and to talk about Biblically Responsible investing, Luke Andrews with Inspire Advisors and iInvest4Him.com

Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) scores investments for positive and negative reasons.  Today we will take a quick look at what makes a positive score for a stock:

a.       Business Model

     i.     Business products, services and operations structured in a way to benefit rather than exploit customers.

b.     Product Integrity and Innovation

     i.     Creates products and services which are helpful and create value rather than extract value or harm users.

c.      Corporate Governance

     i.     Policies and behaviors regarding executive compensation, ethical dealings, board management, etc.

d.     Human Capital

     i.     Policies and behaviors regarding equitable employee management.

e.      Social Impact

     i.     Impact and influence on society and communities in which the company operates.

f.       Supply Chain

    i.     Impact and influence on society and communities in which the company operates.

g.     Environment

     i.     Measures company’s impact on the environment, including air, water and land.

h.     Sustainable Energy Use and Production

     i.     Measures company’s use and production of sustainable energy.

11-06-20 - New Podcast Episode Alert.png

They say that money makes the world go around but I am not sure who they are. Money is a think that can be used for evil and can be used for good. But money often leads to heart issues. There is likely not one person listening today who hasn’t struggled with the incredible pull and influence money has on your life. Money may make your world go around. You can let money manage your life or you can manage your own life using money but either way, without money, life is hard to live. So what do we do with this powerful influence that money has on our lives. Can we use that power for good? Biblically responsible investing is one way you can use your money to make sure it is being used for good. Luke Andrews is here today to make sure that we all know how to make sure our money is powering positive impacts on our community.

Taking On The Goliaths Of The World

Jesus called us to be shrewd stewards. What does that mean?  He also told us to be wise as serpents and gentle as doves. How do you do all this and still maintain a high level of marketplace penetration?  Take for instance the health insurance world. Their powerful lobby influences the minds and hearts of many in local state and national office. How do you fight their billions and trillions when you only have you, God, and a budget for tens of thousands?  Seems like a losing battle but with God on our side, nothing is impossible. Today on iWork4Him we are going to talk about the role of public affairs and strategy and how you can be a Christian fighting a battle among a whole field full of Goliath’s and you are David with one stone. The story of Sedera Health – Tony Dale joins us today and he has brought a powerful guest with him.

Where You Put Your Money Makes A Difference
Luke Andrews Podcast Image.png

For too long and way too often, we, the church, have invested in companies that give to organizations that are completely against everything we stand for. These companies take their profits and fund non-profits who are actively trying to destroy Christianity. The voice of the everyday believer is in danger of being silenced forever and most of us are funding it through our investment dollars.

We’re speaking with Luke Andrews with Inspire Advisors and iInvest4Him.com about biblically responsible investing which is storming the nation as Christ followers move their money to great investments that aren’t funding the opposition plan of destruction for Christianity.
