Retirement is not the end of your purpose. It is an opportunity to consider how God is calling you to use your time, talents, resources, and relationships in a new season. Drew Blackston joins Financial Issues to discuss preparing for retirement with a biblical perspective.

Faithful stewardship means recognizing that everything we have belongs to God. From the work we do to the money we earn and the investments we manage, we are called to serve Him wherever He has placed us and honor Him with everything He has entrusted to us.

For more than seventy years, The Chronicles of Narnia has introduced children around the world to the gospel story through myth and adventure. At the center of that story is Aslan, the great Lion who gives his life to save Narnia and rises again to defeat evil. C.S. Lewis wrote Aslan as an illustration of Jesus Christ. Netflix’s reported reimagining of the character has raised serious concerns among Christians who believe the Christ-figure Lewis created should be treated with the integrity it deserves. This concern, along with Netflix’s broader content, corporate advocacy, and financial support for organizations and causes that conflict with a biblical worldview, is why we created a petition calling on Netflix to reconsider these choices and treat works important to people of faith with the integrity they deserve. Christians have the freedom to decide what companies they will support with their money and investments. That includes taking a closer look at what may be held through a 401(k), index fund, or other investment account. If you believe we should have a voice in what companies do with their resources and what our money supports, we encourage you to sign the petition and take action at defundnetflix.com.

We are grateful for testimonies like Tony’s, who discovered Financial Issues more than 20 years ago and learned to see investing as part of biblical stewardship. Today, he is still putting those lessons into practice. One faithful decision can create a ripple that reaches further than you may ever see. Start your ripple today at financialissues.org.

Biblical stewardship is about more than managing money. One faithful decision can create a ripple that reaches a family, strengthens a church, equips a ministry, and impacts lives with the hope of the Gospel. As we approach the end of our fiscal year, your generosity can become part of something much bigger than a single gift. Start your ripple today at financialissues.org.

“Fear is expensive. Headlines are designed to capture attention, not manage your portfolio. If investors react to every frightening headline as though it is a crisis and has never happened before, they can make permanent financial decisions based on temporary emotion. So when someone tells you that $100 oil proves inflation is about to spiral out of control, the economy is about to collapse, and markets are headed for disaster, ask one simple question: Compared to what?” americanthinker.com/articles… @MarkMoneyGuide @AmericanThinker

Faithful stewardship can create an impact that reaches far beyond what we can see. When we honor God with what He has entrusted to us, the effects can ripple through individuals, families, churches, communities, and beyond. As FISM looks back on what God has done and looks ahead to what He will continue to do, we are reminded that even one faithful gift can make an impact far beyond what we may ever see.

“America is not predestined to collapse because of its debt, but neither is America exempt from the math. An altar is where something valuable is sacrificed to something considered more valuable. America is increasingly sacrificing its future, its independence, and the prosperity of generations who are yet unborn so that we do not have to say that one uncomfortable word today: No. It is time to tear down the altar.” townhall.com/columnists/mark… @MarkMoneyGuide @townhallcom

The 25th anniversary of 9/11 is a time to remember the lives lost and the evil of that day, while also honoring the heroism, courage, faith, and unity that emerged in its aftermath. It is a reminder of what the American spirit can look like in the face of tragedy.

Financial Issues host @MarkMoneyGuide was recently quoted in The @WashTimes in an article examining the surge in entrepreneurship among Generation Z and how artificial intelligence is changing the cost and accessibility of starting a business. Mark highlighted how entrepreneurship is expanding beyond the traditionally wealthy and well-connected, giving more Americans an opportunity to turn ideas and hard work into ownership and independence. washingtontimes.com/news/202…

Financial Issues host @MarkMoneyGuide was recently quoted in The Washington Times in an article examining the growing number of men leaving the workforce and the economic and social implications of that trend. Mark's comments highlighted the connection between meaningful work, purpose, discipline, and responsibility. washingtontimes.com/news/202…

“Too many American men are spending their prime working years outside the workforce, and the cost reaches far beyond lost income. When large numbers of able-bodied men disconnect from work, the consequences ripple through our society. Too often, detachment from work causes detachment from responsibility, marriage, family formation and community.” Read the full article here: dailycaller.com/2026/08/15/o… @MarkMoneyGuide @DailyCaller

An emergency fund is more than money set aside for unexpected expenses. It is a practical tool of biblical stewardship that helps protect the resources God has entrusted to you from unnecessary debt and financial setbacks. Just as a moat protected a castle from attackers, an emergency fund provides a layer of protection that helps preserve your financial future and gives you the flexibility to respond wisely when life happens.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Financial Issues family, we have already raised enough to provide a full year of discipleship for 70 children through Crossroads Kids Club. Our goal is to reach 125 children before the new school year begins, and every gift is still being matched through July 31. Help us finish strong at ReachOurSchools.com

We live in the world, but we are not called to follow its priorities. As Christians, that means approaching money differently by earning, saving, investing, giving, and stewarding God's resources according to His truth rather than the world's values.

Public schools are one of the greatest mission fields in America, and Crossroads Kids Club is helping local churches build lasting discipling relationships with students through weekly, Gospel-centered Bible clubs. Join us in reaching more children before the new school year begins. Learn more at ReachOurSchools.com.

Over the years, many different labels have been used to describe God-honoring investing. While well-intentioned, terms like faith-based, ethical, and Christian investing can mean very different things depending on who defines them. Biblically Responsible Investing points to one unchanging authority: God's Word. It reminds us that stewardship is not based on personal opinion or changing cultural values, but on the truth of Scripture.

Biblical stewardship begins with recognizing that God owns everything and has entrusted His resources to us for His purposes. It is more than managing money. It is faithfully using every opportunity, ability, and blessing He has given us to glorify Him and advance His Kingdom.

Stewardship Today marks an exciting new chapter for the ministry as Financial Issues continues its mission of teaching biblical stewardship and biblically responsible investing to audiences across the country. We look forward to continuing this mission each week through Stewardship Today.
