Bill and Dana Wichterman: God-Shaped Investments, God-Shaped Returns

Episode Summary

How are you aligning your money to bring glory to God? In this episode, Jeff, Bill, and Dana discuss: Start your marriage on the same financial page, and let God lead it. Nothing in life has a sacred and secular divide. Stories of successful stewards. Understanding your finish line and approaching it with joy. Key Takeaways: If you want to be a good giver and be most effective, there is work to be done to find the most impactful organizations and needs.

Just start somewhere, find alignment, and start being generous now.
