the purpose of financial peace (opens the original)

If Dave Ramsey helped you get out of debt, start investing, or simply think differently about money, there may come a point where you ask a different question: “Okay, now what?” The debt is gone, or at least moving in the right direction. You have margin again. You are investing. Retirement is getting closer. The 401(k) feels more complicated than it used to. The business is doing well. The kids are getting older. The decisions feel bigger. At some point, a lot of people move from “How do I stop

I’ve been reading A Severe Mercy by Sheldon Vanauken, and I have been completely swept up in it. A friend recommended it, and I can see why. Vanauken is a beautiful writer. The kind of writer who makes you lose track of time. More than once, I’ve looked up from my morning reading and realized I was suddenly twenty minutes behind schedule. The coffee appointment was coming fast. The day had already started. But I had been pulled into a story that felt larger than my own. To me, that’s part of wha

I recently found a new favorite artist. He’s the bombastic, passionate, young, and fiery singer-songwriter who rocketed into spotify charts with his song Dusty Bibles . The song is a modern prophesy: We got dust on our Bibles, brand-new iPhones… No wonder why we feel this way. Good, right? Josiah Queen is his name. And he’s written a small collection of other songs too. Another favorite line came to my ears this week: What the world hasn’t given, it can’t take away. The song is about the treasur

Last week, we talked about embarrassment. The kind that shows up when you feel behind. When you feel like everyone else got a memo you missed. When you weren’t taught something, didn’t know what questions to ask, and now asking feels weirdly exposing. And the basic idea was that embarrassment makes us hide (ourselves, our talents, our contributions, etc.). But it doesn’t always say, “I’m scared.” Sometimes it says… “no no, I’m just waiting on the Lord” Now before I call out my own fear-based exc

When it comes to how we handle money, it’s pretty safe to say we could all learn a thing or two from John Wesley. He’s the co-founder of the methodist church and the passionate advocate of radical, Gospel-saturated working, saving, and giving. He famously exhorted his churchmembers to “earn all you can, save all you can, give all you can.” (You may remember I mentioned this a few months back.) But what does it look like for us to pursue earning all we can, saving all we can, and giving all we ca
