Today we are chatting with Jordan Raynor, as we dive deep into his new book, "The Sacredness of Secular Work," and explore how our everyday jobs impact eternity. I love our conversation (and think you will too) as it challenges the conventional view of work as just a means to an end and encourages us to find divine purpose in our professions.

This challenges the notion that only 'ministry' work is meaningful for Christians. Impactful Stories & Examples: Hear about individuals like Chassie, who found her calling as a hairstylist, and learn how embracing our God-given talents can lead to greater fulfillment and opportunities to witness. Debunking the Great Commission Misconception: Jordan addresses the modern church's narrow interpretation of the Great Commission and its impact on believers' view of their work. Eternal Rewards and their Importance: A fresh perspective on why Christians should eagerly pursue eternal rewards as instructed by Jesus. The Concept of the 'Anti-Bucket List': Jordan introduces the idea of focusing on eternal priorities over worldly experiences. Practical Application: How these revelations can profoundly affect our daily lives and work.   Resources Mentioned 🎯 Book: "The Sacredness of Secular Work" by Jordan Raynor Scriptural References: Extensive biblical insights provided, including Isaiah 65, Ephesians 6, and more.   Where to Find the Book 📖 "The Sacredness of Secular Work" is available wherever books are sold or visit JordanRaynor.com for more information.   Tune in now for this inspiring episode on the SeedTime Money Podcast and redefine how you view your work and its eternal significance!  Watch this episode on our SeedTime Money Podcast YouTube channel!   If you haven’t checked out our best-selling book Simple Money, Rich Life, we think you’ll love it.

I have been getting emails from a bunch of readers asking what I think about the Tranzact rewards debit card. If you haven’t heard, basically it is a debit card that provides “Z-Bucks” that can be used to buy everyday items. In theory I love what Tranzact is doing, but in reality I will be really surprised if this is still around in a year… I have some friends who are using it and who are excited about it, but I always do my own due diligence and go with my intuition and I am not feeling good about it. These are the red flags and the reasons I am passing on Tranzact (and make sure you listen til the last one, because it is the nail in the coffin for me.)… 🎯Resources Mentioned: Tranzact Rewards Debit Card: An overview of the card, its features, and the claims made by the company.

Today, we're diving deep into the Parable of the Talents and how it holds the keys to succeeding as a Christian—yes, even in your finances. So pull up a chair, grab your Bible, and let’s get started. Are you struggling with managing not just your money but your time, relationships, and other God-given resources? Do you feel like you're holding back from multiplying your God-given talents out of fear? Want to discover how divine mandates can shift your perspective and align your life more closely with God's purposes?   Here's What We're Covering: Intro to the Parable of the Talents Where to find it: Matthew 25:14-29 (New Living Translation for readability) The overlooked depth of this parable beyond just finances How this parable aligns with teachings on the end times The Characters and Their Significance The Master (God), The Servants (Believers), and The Talents (Resources) Delegating according to abilities: what does it mean for us? Key Themes You Can’t Ignore Stewardship: Managing what you’ve been entrusted with Investment: The principle of growing your God-given talents Accountability: Yep, you will be held responsible Modern-Day Relevance Pushing back on today's "me, myself, and I" culture The immediate application for Christians today Fear vs. Faith Personal stories of how fear held me back Why stepping out in faith isn't the same as taking a risk Divine Mandates vs. Good Advice This is not just some good life advice; this is about aligning ourselves more closely with God's purposes. By the end of this episode, my hope is that you won’t just think of this parable as a "money lesson" but see it as a guide on how to be more in tune with God's purposes in every aspect of your life, including your finances. Let’s bust some myths and dig into the life-transforming wisdom that this parable holds.   Resources Mentioned: YouVersion Bible App: Search for my plans under 'Bob Lotich' or 'SeedTime' to find our newly released devotional about the Parable of Talents.

In today's episode, we had a super raw and real conversation about how to change who you will become in the next five years. The key? Taking a hard look at the inputs in our lives. Before we dive in, a HUGE shoutout and Happy Birthday to Linda! 🎉   🎙️ In this episode, we cover: The importance of growth and change in our journey with Jesus. The iconic quote about how we are the sum of our five closest friends and the books we read. But is that all there is to it? How we can think about "inputs" in our lives more broadly - from friends, to social media, to the shows we watch, and of course, our faith. Why merely thinking positive might not be enough. The surprising power of avoiding negativity. Our thoughts on TikTok and a fun theory we heard (no shade to the TikTok lovers out there!). Three actionable ways to become a better version of yourself in the next five years: Decide to make an intentional change. Eliminate the negative inputs that hold you back. Increase positive inputs and surround yourself with those who lift you up. A personal story about the challenge of finding the right friends and how being intentional about it can make a world of difference. The underrated value of books and why I'll forever advocate for them. 📚 A mindset shift about the timeframe of change and how our lives can be radically different in five years.   Resources Mentioned: Jim Rohn  Chris Farley's "Van Down by the River" SNL skit Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting 💡 Final thoughts: Growth requires effort, intentionality, and sometimes discomfort. But remember, God's got you through it all. Whether you're in a season of growth or you feel a bit stuck, I hope this episode inspires you to evaluate, change, and march toward the best version of yourself.

In this episode we are chatting about the strategies and techniques I use for effective learning. I truly believe that the art of learning is one of the most powerful tools God has given us, and I want to share the process that has been helping me in case you find it valuable as well!   If you're looking to expand your knowledge, solve specific problems, or even just become better at what you do, this episode is for you!   Here's what we covered: My personal love for learning (spoiler: it's like Linda's love for milk chocolate chips! 🍫). The strategy I use when trying to grasp a new topic and how this compares to assembling a puzzle. How Tim Ferriss and his unique learning challenges inspire our perspective on gaining knowledge rapidly. The importance of recognizing where you have knowledge gaps and the humility to fill them. My recent journey into understanding soil macronutrients for better gardening (it's more fascinating than you might think)! The difference in approach between learning something entirely new vs. refining what you already know. Why the order or sequence in which you learn things is more critical than ever in today's age of information overload.   🔑 Key Takeaways: Approach learning with humility. Being open-minded allows you to absorb more and view things from different perspectives. Sequencing your learning is vital. Think of it as building a foundation and then constructing the house. Sometimes, it's about searching for that one game-changing nugget amidst the wealth of information you already know.   Resources Mentioned: Tim Ferriss' unique approach to rapid learning. The parable of the talents and its application to lifelong learning. Our previous podcast episode on quarterly business planning.   Final Thoughts: In an age of information overload, it's not about what you learn but how you learn.

So if you don't know our story, we have a pretty remarkable thing that God did in our lives with our mortgage. Essentially we went from being 2 years into a 30 year mortgage and then after obeying God within 9 months we had it paid off!  We have been sharing about this a bit on Instagram and it kickstarted a Reel that went viral-ish and has stimulated a lot of conversations, so we figured it would be good to create a full-length podcast discussing the whole thing.

Today's episode is a real treat. I had the pleasure of chatting with Chris McMurray, a pastor, author, business coach, and serial entrepreneur. Chris has a fascinating story that's been covered by national media, and he's the author of the book "Food Stamps to Franchise." Why You Should Listen: Real Stories, Real Impact: Chris shares his incredible journey from struggling with debt and food stamps to building a successful business and becoming a voice in the national conversation. Faith and Business: Learn how Chris navigates the intersection of faith and business, making decisions based on principles rather than the heat of the moment. Risk and Reward: If you've ever been paralyzed by the fear of starting something new, Chris's insights into risk-taking could be the push you need. Cultural Influence: Chris passionately believes that the body of Christ should reclaim its seat at the table in cultural conversations. Hear why and how you can be a part of it.   Key Topics/Questions Covered: Chris's remarkable story involving Vice President Joe Biden, some ice cream, and how it catapulted him into the national spotlight. The importance of having a "why" in your business and life. How risk has played a significant role in Chris's journey and why it's essential for anyone looking to make an impact.

Today's episode is a special one, and I'm excited to share it with you. We're diving into a topic that's been on my mind a lot lately, and I think it's going to resonate with many of you.    What We're Talking About Today: A Fascinating Book Passage: I'm reading from "Five Wealth Secrets" by Craig Hill, and it's sparking some deep thoughts about financial principles in the Bible. Jewish Wealth vs. Christian Wealth: We're exploring an intriguing question: Why do Jewish people seem to prosper more financially? We're diving into the numbers and what they might mean. Old Testament Wisdom: Are we missing out on blessings by ignoring Old Testament principles? We're talking about tithing, the Sabbath, and more. It's not about being under the law; it's about understanding the blessings attached to God's instructions. Living Out the Principles: It's one thing to know Bible verses; it's another to live them out. We're challenging ourselves to study and live out the principles, both Old Testament and New.   Key Takeaways: Don't Dismiss Old Testament Principles: There may be blessings attached to living the way God has instructed, even in the Old Testament. Balance Knowledge and Action: Knowing where a Bible passage is located is great, but living out the principle is what truly matters. Seek Deeper Understanding: There's no limit to how deep we can go with God. Let's hunt down and chase after the blessings of God available to us.   Join us on this journey, and let's explore what God has for us together.

One of our 10x investing students asked a question that I get asked quite often: Should we invest in companies that we disagree with morally? This is a question that many Christians wrestle with, and we're diving deep into it. We explore two different approaches: Biblically Responsible Investing: Avoiding companies that don't align with our values. Infiltration Approach: Buying stock in those companies to influence change.   What else we are talking about: Prayerful Investing: We emphasize the importance of praying about our investments and recognizing that there's no one-size-fits-all answer. It's about what God has called you to do. Consumer Responsibility: We also discuss the impact of our spending habits and how being mindful of where we shop can make a difference. 10x Investing Course: If you're interested in learning more about investing and our approach, check out our 10x investing course at seedtime.com/10x.

Inside, I’m going to show you the 4-step process that can stop negative, reactive spending habits in their tracks and get you on the path to saving, giving, and enjoying more of your money: **Identifying** the biggest (and messiest) money opportunities with the ‘RFC’ matrix. **Managing** your biggest opportunity with the 80/20 Budget.  **Redirecting** the surplus where you want it to go (practicing JOMO instead of FOMO).   **Enjoying** the margin you create from decluttering (how to spend more on what brings you joy).

Today we are taking a listener question and discussing some of the keys to handling money and our hearts when things are going well, as well as when they aren't. A little of what we are covering: Ever noticed how pride sneaks up on us during financial highs and evaporates during lows? Let's decode this emotional rollercoaster and the unseen challenges of financial success. The two tests I believe God throws our way to measure our real success. Hear personal stories from my life's highs and lows, revealing how gratitude and pride can change shades in different circumstances. Two practical actions and daily practices to infuse gratitude in your life and keep financial pride at bay. This episode is not just about handling your financial blessings. It's about transforming how you perceive these blessings and what you do with them. Prepare to change your perspective on financial success, learn how to guard your heart against pride, and embrace gratitude with practical actions. If you've ever felt challenged by the delicate dance of success and humility, this episode will provide a new rhythm to your journey. It's time to redefine your relationship with money, balance your heart's pride and gratitude, and be a more mindful steward of the resources you have.

On our 10x Live investing workshop we hosted last week we gave away a couple stacks of books that deeply impacted how I handle money. And a bunch of you kept asking for the list, so here we are.   Now at this point I have read about 100 money books over the last 15 years. And this list is the 10 or so that have made a significant impact on my thinking or behaving with money.  Some are written by Christians and some are not. I don’t agree with everything anyone says or writes regardless of whether or not they are a Christian, so I chew the meat and spit out the bones and encourage you to do the same thing! #1 https://amzn.to/3Py7JWn #2 https://amzn.to/46n9Q5v #3 https://amzn.to/3JA15Lt  #4 https://amzn.to/3Psn3ny  #5 https://amzn.to/42XHJa1  #6 https://amzn.to/3CNeoV1  #7 https://amzn.to/3JWbilV   #8 https://amzn.to/42XHJa1  #9 https://amzn.to/46jI6yN  #10 https://amzn.to/3XzVgDF  #11 https://amzn.to/3qZTqzH   Additionally, there are some other fantastic money books out there that are NOT on this list. But these just happen to be the ones that spoke to me most at the time I read them.  And as a little shameless plug to possibly save you a little time, part of why I wrote Simple Money, Rich Life was to be able to distill everything I learned in these 100 books into 1.  So if you want the best nuggets from most of these books you will find it all rolled up in our book Simple Money, Rich Life which you can get with free shipping here: https://seedtime.com/smrl It was named the 2022 Book of the Year by ICFH and has over 300 5-star reviews on Amazon and is best described as “a money book for people who don’t read money books.” You can take it for a test drive for FREE at SeedTime.com/sample where you can download chapter 1 of the audiobook, grab the 1st 2 chapters of the ebook version, and even get the 5-week book study companion guide.

Guess what? SeedTime just turned sweet 16 today! 🎉 (Psst… we've got some cool gifts and bonuses for you today!) It's been a crazy ride these past 16 years, hasn't it?  I mean, by God’s remarkable grace, we've had the chance to connect with over 55 million folks through our website, the SeedTime Money Podcast, and our YouTube channels.  Can you believe that!?  And then we've seen more than 9,200 students pass through our courses https://seedtime.com/u and nearly 20k copies of Simple Money, Rich Life https://seedtime.com/smrl have found new homes. But even though I am admittedly a numbers nerd, the numbers aren't even close to the best part... From day one I have been collecting stories from people like you who have shared with me the things God has done in their financial lives.  And over 16 years I now have thousands of those stories that I treasure.  Every story, every success, is another reminder of the great things God can do. Looking back, it's pretty amazing seeing what God has done the last 16 years. But, it never should have happened…   The unlikely story of SeedTime On June 1st, 2007, SeedTime (or originally ChristianPF.com) was born.  It was just a little blog where I shared the personal finance lessons I was learning along with what I was finding in the Bible about money.  At the time I was stuck in a dead-end job and felt hopeless about my career and my ability to make any sort of impact in the world. And I had this pipe-dream that one day we could earn enough from the blog to eat and live indoors.  But the odds were terrible.  At the time earning money from a blog was incredibly difficult.  In fact, in 2007 I literally was only aware of 2 bloggers in the entire world that were earning anything close to a full-time income from blogging. And my millionaire mentor, who had taught me so much about money, told me going full-time as a blogger was a terrible idea. And He was right.  But here’s the thing. The Bible is full of “terrible ideas” that just happened to be exactly what God wanted.  Here’s one: “Hey, I have a military strategy for you. Just march around the city 7 times and then yell real loud. Oh and if it doesn’t work, you’ll probably die.” God seems to love to use “terrible ideas” because no one can take credit for it when it works out.   Today Linda and I are going into the full story of how SeedTime began.   How we went from being the financial messes that we were to following God into the unknown How we overcame our fears and insecurities and nay-sayers How we handled “stepping out of the boat” after I got laid off and became a “full-time blogger”. One critical mistake I made that should have sunk us And the most important thing we did to keep SeedTime alive and well 16 years later. And a lot more of the ins and outs of how God took 2 broke kids from Missouri and did something only He could do   Links: Enter the $2k giveaway: https://seedtime.com/2k-giveaway      Watch this episode on our SeedTime Money Podcast YouTube channel!

This is from truly impactful section from a workshop we did a couple months ago. We helped our attendees create a 30-day financial plan, enabling them to kickstart their budget and save money for the best 2023 ever! During the workshop, we covered 5 common limiting beliefs that many people experience when it comes to building a budget or a spending plan. The insights we shared resonated with so many participants that I knew I had to share it with you. My hope is that by addressing and breaking down these limiting beliefs, you can overcome any hurdles holding you back from taking control of your financial life. Throughout the episode, you'll hear us discuss the following limiting beliefs: "I don't make enough money to budget." "It's too hard and time-consuming." "I'm not good with numbers." "I don't want to face my financial reality." "I don't want to stop spending on things I love." We want to inspire you to tackle these beliefs head-on and discover what God might be trying to tell you in this area of your life. Our goal is to make budgeting and managing your finances easy and accessible, no matter your current situation. So, if you're ready to take control of your finances and break free from the limiting beliefs that might be holding you back, tune into this episode.

A few days ago President Biden initiated a new federal rule could raise the monthly mortgage payments of buyers with good credit scores (680+) by over $60 a month… And when I first saw this I thought for a minute it was a Babylon Bee headline. Turns out it isn’t, but is from Newsweek. I then shared it with our Instagram family(https://www.instagram.com/seedtime/) and the response was insane. I probably had 50 DMs in less than 24 hours about it - some outraged, some confused, some with questions. And so today we are going to be doing our weekly LIVE podcast and discussing this and answering as many questions as we can about it. Here are a few of the questions we will be answering: How this new fee affects homebuyers with a credit score of 680 and above 2 What credit score ranges will be getting a discount from current rates  How 2/3 of the population is negatively affected by the new mortgage calculation adjustments  What you might expect to pay if your credit score is around 680 under the new rules  If you already have a mortgage, will these new adjustments apply to you  And more…  Links for further reading: LLPA Matrix: https://singlefamily.fanniemae.com/media/9391/display LLPA changes: https://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/news/01192023-big-llpa-changes

When I was 13 years old, I spent every dollar I earned on golf. I would play two or three times a week and became a pretty good golfer for my age. While I liked golf, it was never really my favorite sport. But my identity had become wrapped up in it, so I kept playing. It was what I and others had come to expect. As I got older, it dawned on me that spending all my money on a hobby just because I had an aptitude for it or because it was what I was known for didn’t make much sense. So, even though it wasn’t easy, I laid down that part of my identity. Additionally, over the years, I began better aligning my hobbies with my goals by asking these questions: What if I chose hobbies that weren’t inherently expensive? What if I chose hobbies that could make me healthier? What if I chose hobbies that would generate income? When I started asking these questions, I began to see hobbies in a different light. Instead of paying $50 a round to play golf, I could play tennis for free, spend less on equipment, and get better exercise.  So our discussion today isn’t to try to get you to lay down hobbies you love, but instead to evaluate them from time to time to make sure they are still serving you well.   Links: Watch this episode on our SeedTime Money Podcast YouTube channel If you haven’t checked out our best-selling book Simple Money, Rich Life we think you’ll love it.

Today on the podcast, we're talking about paying attention and how it can improve our performance. The idea is based on Pearson's Law, which states that "when performance is measured, performance improves."

So if you're looking to make better decisions with your money, try using one of the methods we discuss to track your spending (aka measure your performance).

Today I'm sharing 4 different ways that I've been using a new AI tool called Chat GPT for Bible study. It's a really fascinating tool and I'm excited to share with you to see how it can help you out in your Bible study. Chat GPT is a free AI tool that that has infinite possibilities, but today we are talking specifically about how we can use it to help us quickly search for Bible verses, generate summaries or outlines of Bible passages and even answer questions about what was going on in the world when a specific book of the Bible was written. It's been a great tool to help me in my Bible study and you might find it helpful as well. The first way I've been using it is to ask, "What does the Bible say about blank?" This has been really helpful to quickly search for different Bible verses on a specific topic. All you have to do is type in the topic and it will spit out different Bible verses that relate to it. The second way I've been using Chat GPT is to ask, "Are there any Bible verses that support this “blank”?" I can paste in a section of text I wrote and it will provide me with Bible verses that can help support my point. This has been really helpful because sometimes there are verses that I can't remember but this tool can help me out. The third way I've been using Chat GPT is to generate summaries or outlines of specific Bible passages. For example, I asked it "What's the meaning of the parable of the talents?" and it provided me with a great summary of the parable and the lesson it teaches us. If you wanna try it out, you just need to go to chat.openai.com and create a free account. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this tool and how you're using it in your Bible study. Let me know by sending me a DM on Instagram.

When Linda and I tied the knot, we set a goal for ourselves: to give away as much money as possible. We knew that with God's help, anything is possible. Even though we didn't have much to begin with, by His grace we managed to give away a $1 million by the time we hit 40. None of this would have been possible without God's grace. And the only way we were able to keep track of our progress was by monitoring what we call our 'Net Given' - it's a number that's crucial to keep an eye on.

Are you facing a huge challenge right now? I happened to grab the classic devotional “Streams in the Desert” off my shelf and was reading October 29th’s entry. This short entry blessed me immensely.   Just knowing that there is a purpose in the struggle is incredibly encouraging. It is comforting knowing that in the midst of the heat, and even when it feels unbearable, God is sitting right there with us. And that He is carefully making sure that the heat is removing the impurities and allowing us to be made pure and holy so that we better reflect His glory.  If you are in the heat right now, know that God hasn’t left you, but that He is nearby and doing a work that will leave you stronger and more precious.

Today we are speaking to everyone out there who has experienced failure. In my experience as a writer/entrepreneur, failing multiple times comes with the territory. But, I want to be an encouragement to all my listeners and know that it is worth it… keep trying! Join me and Joseph Michael (Founder of Learn Scrivener Fast), as we discuss failure leading to success.   These are some of the topics we discuss: No one sees all the failures that have led to a success. Doors closing will lead to what you’re supposed to be doing. Opportunities in disguise. Failing the right way, learning how to pivot. Praying for wisdom. Why not me? The world’s view of success vs God’s view of success. Working heartily for the Lord.

My friend has paid off over $80k by selling on eBay. In sharing his story, I hope it helps you pay off debt (or just make some extra cash!). Bryan & his wife paid off $82,000! How? Buying and selling stuff on eBay. I'm going to be asking him some questions and hopefully his answers will inspire you to pay off your debt, too! ►Topics and questions I asked Brian in this interview: 1️⃣► EXPLAIN WHAT YOU DID PAY OFF YOUR DEBT USING EBAY Brian bought Skip McGrath's eBook (A list of things you can buy at yard sales and sell on eBay) and found there are many things he could sell for a profit. In his first eBay sale, he bought an item for $5 and sold it for over $300! PRO TIP: If you want to know if something at a yard sale is valuable, download the eBay app! ►If you would like to know more about Skip McGrath, check out his site and his books: http://www.skipmcgrath.com/products/sell-used-books-ebay-amazon.php 2️⃣► HOW REALISTIC IS IT TO MAKE A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS A MONTH ON EBAY? It's extremely doable to earn a few hundred dollars a month! When he was paying off debt by selling on eBay, he also had a full-time job. Currently, his buddy is really into selling and is making $1500/$2000 a week with eBay (this is after putting 60+ hrs a week in as a CPA!). So even if you have only minimal efforts, you should be able to make a few hundred dollars a month. PRO TIP: Don't look to sell 100 things for $5. Look to sell 3 things for $50 a piece. Start small! 3️⃣► ANY OTHER TOOLS/RESOURCES THAT YOU THINK ARE HELPFUL?   ►The eBay app is everything! ►Ignore what items are selling for on eBay, pay attention to the prices items actually sold for! ►Check out Lynn Dralle's book on buying and selling on eBay: http://www.thequeenofauctions.com/ ►Auctions!
