What makes us different

Here are 5 things that make us different than pretty much everything out there…

1. We have an eternal perspective

The world’s way of handling money has failed us. The bookstore shelves are full of money books pushing the world’s greedy and flawed approach to money. Many don’t work, and those that do, help you succeed at the wrong thing. After all “what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?” Matt 16:26

We help you not only succeed with money on earth, but do it in a way that you don’t lose your soul in the process.

2. This isn’t just theory, but strategies that work (within hours)

Far too many financial educators have a bunch of theory, but don’t have any real world practical steps to take to get real world results.

We believe in sharing the timeless Biblical principles, the mindset shifts you need to reach your financial potential, and the specific strategies to get results. All the parts work together, so why not share them all together?  

3. We experiment with our money so you don’t have to

The internet is full of people “faking it until they make it”, trying to teach others how to do something they haven’t done themselves. Not here. We experiment on ourselves first, find what works, and then share with students. Not the other way around.

For example, I tried out dozens of budgeting approaches before creating our unique approach, opened up 34 credit cards to find the best one, and spent 10 years testing investing strategies before creating our investing course.

Oh and everything we teach we are actually doing ourselves – and so we are in it together. 

4. We know money isn’t one-size-fits-all

Personal finance should be “personal” right? Everyone’s situation is unique, so rather than having one hard and fast set of rules that everyone must follow, we take a different approach.

We help you understand the principles, share the tactics that have worked best for us and our students, and then help you apply that to your specific situation.

5. Linda = fun (need I say more?)

While I am officially a Certified Educator in Personal Finance (CEPF®), I am married to a Certified Spender of all our money.

She is a fireball and we are so very different in how we deal with money, so this is real life. She is around to help you see things from a spouse’s perspective and to make sure we keep things light and fun.

Here is just a little of the fun in action.

After crying out to God for wisdom and discovering a simple Biblically-inspired formula he reached a level of financial freedom he never dreamed possible: having a paid off house by age 31 and even reaching a personal goal of giving $1 million by age 40.

For the last 14 years he and his wife Linda have shared their best lessons with over 54 million readers and listeners in their award-winning book, website (that you are reading), Podcast, and courses.
