Parker and Elaine St. Johns The book quoted above is another one that has had a major impact on my life.  I   [Read More …]

GIFTS THAT KEEP ON GIVING

Rural organizers take on mountaintop removal, racism, and the opioid crisis in Appalachia

Power. Success. Hope. These were the words that raced through my mind at the end of our two and a half day Faith and Money Network group immersion trip earlier this month in the communities of southwestern Virginia—a sliver of Appalachia known for its rich cultural history and the declining fortunes of coal mining.

To fool the rain – without an umbrella

"Work is love made visible".  Kahlil Gibran Would most people think it is a big step down from being a college professor and dean to teaching illiterate women how to write their names?  Probably, but Steven Werlin, the professor in question, isn’t among them.

A HOME FOR THE BRAVE KNOCKING AT OUR DOORS

If you ill-treat the poor, you insult your Creator; if you are kind to them, you show him respect.  Proverbs 14:31 – The Poverty and Justice Bible On the 4th of July our family celebrated our nation’s independence as we have done for many years beginning with a pancake breakfast at the firehouse, a parade in the afternoon, followed by a potluck dinner with old friends and new, and ending with   [Read More …]

What our listeners are saying:


"The Faith and Money Podcast is so inspirational and practical that it will make you want to delve into your money concerns. Through the interviews with an amazing array of people, Mike leads us into an understanding of our money that begins with the numbers and moves on to the soul. A must-listen to for anyone struggling with any aspect of money management – having too little or too much.” –listener from Washington, DC

“I just listened to your most recent episode and found myself weeping. It touched something deep in me.” –pastor and listener from Seattle, WA

“I have listened to all your programs, and I am learning something new with each one. Many thanks for these thoughtful, informative shows.” –listener from Washington, DC

“It was a wonderful encouragement because Brian Higgins [from “Stewards of God’s Creation: Connecting Faith and Money] didn’t say a lot of things about the frightening environmental crisis but about creative things he is actually doing to lower his carbon footprint. He made it sound easy and enjoyable. Your questions were relaxed and thought-provoking and invited Brian into both broader and deeper ways to express his passion for the health of the earth. It was energizing!” –listener from Washington, DC

“I miss my weekly radio conversations/listening to Mike and guests!!” –listener from Boise, ID
