Alan Barnhart: What Do Your Kids Think About You Giving Away the Company?

Episode Summary

In this episode, Jeff and Alan discuss: Rejecting the standard estate planning template for more charitable giving. The dangers in the supposed blessing of a lot of money. Ownership of money, leaving an inheritance and doing what’s best for your family. Bringing your kids into your giving from an early age. Key Takeaways: Jesus warned about money more than he did about anything else. Make your decisions and draw your giving lines at the beginning and you won’t have to make the decisions every day or every year. There is a gift in the struggle. It is a flawed parenting strategy when you try to eliminate all pain and struggle for your kids. Protecting your children from the dangers of wealth, and don’t shelter them from the struggles of life. That is the best thing you can do for your children. "Putting Godly constraints in your life leads to freedom. Living a life without constraints sounds like freedom, but it leads to bondage in almost any area of your life. We are serving a loving Heavenly Father that wants to give us a rich, abundant life." —  Alan Barnhart Connect with Jeff Thomas: Website: https://www.arkosglobal.com/ Book: https://www.arkosglobal.com/trading-up Email: jeff.thomas@arkosglobal.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/ArkosGlobalAdv Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/arkosglobal/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/arkosglobaladvisors Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arkosglobaladvisors/
