Ep. 108 - Is Your Wealth Fueling God's Purpose? | Conversation with Rachel McDonough

What does it look like to use your wealth not simply for growth, but as fuel for God's purposes?

In this conversation, we sit down with financial advisor and author Rachel McDonough to explore biblical stewardship, impact investing, and what it means to align your investments with your faith. Rachel shares how her experiences growing up as a missionary kid in Kenya shaped her view of wealth and investing, why faithfulness may require Christians to rethink traditional ideas about risk and return, and how families can use their resources to create meaningful impact today.

We also discuss Rachel's book, The River and the Garden, the importance of passing values—not just wealth—to the next generation, and practical ways to identify the next faithful step in your stewardship journey.
