Jun 900:34:44Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailFinancial Advisor Tim Russell, CFP®, Rev. Drew Gysi, and Tyler Rutherford explore how our deep-rooted value of independence can subtly shape, and sometimes distort, our faith, especially when it comes to money and self-sufficiency.

Ultimately, we point to a better model: not independence, but faithful, God-centered living within a community marked by humility, generosity, and responsible interdependence.See the show notes here!Subscribe to "Life in the Markets" PodcastBuy our new book: The Good StewardWealth Management from a Biblical WorldviewStewardship Seminars from a Biblical WorldviewLearn more at: StewardologyPodcast.comSchedule a Personal Stewardship Review at: StewardologyPodcast.com/ReviewGet in touch with us at: Contact@StewardologyPodcast.comor call us at: (800) 688-5800Send us episode ideas!
