If money worries have you tossing and turning last night, you’re in good company. Even with the U.S. economy bouncing-back into shape, 65 percent of Americans say they lose sleep over financial concerns. Add to that, 37 percent of Americans lie awake at night fretting about saving enough for retirement. So, money is the focus for a lot—if not most—people in America today. But what if there was a better way to live your life. What if you could get unstuck from feelings of hopelessness about your future? What if you could stop striving in your own strength to provide for your family? Joining me to discuss these questions and more is author of the brand-new book, Poverty, Riches and Wealth: Moving from a Life of Lack into True Kingdom Abundance, Kris Vallotton. Kris’ own story is going to lay the groundwork to give you all hope and a strategy to overcome the “never-enough” mentality and walk in true abundance.

Buy the Book Prosperity. It's one of the most dividing words in the church. Some pastors use it to tell their congregations that God will make them all rich, rich, rich! Others spurn the word and insist that true Christlikeness is found in forsaking all worldly riches and possessions. The truth is, both are right…and both are wrong. With refreshing honesty, humor, and keen insight, bestselling author and pastor Kris Vallotton mines the Scriptures in an eye-opening study of what the Bible really says about money, poverty, riches, and wealth. Kingdom prosperity begins from the inside out. When you learn to cultivate a mindset of abundance, no matter your circumstances, you will begin to experience the wealth of heaven in every area of your life.

We’re in a precarious time as a culture. While optimism is high in several areas of life, many people are desperate for change, for help…for a miracle in other areas of life. Maybe I’ve just described you. Maybe your marriage is on the rocks. Maybe you’re facing financial collapse. Maybe you or a loved one is facing an incurable illness. Listen, I understand. In times like this, we need to bolster hope in our hearts. And truth be told, what many of us need is a miracle. Joining me today, is NY Times Bestselling author of The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel. And we’re taking a deep dive into his new book, The Case for Miracles: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for the Supernatural. Lee—a former atheist—is going to weave in his own story of personally encountering the God who still works miracles and changes lives. I want today’s conversation to inspire you. But more than that, I want your faith built. It’s too easy to become cynical and especially because of past disappointment, close our ears, and our hearts, to topics like this. I’ll be the first one to raise my hand on that one. I really believe this provocative conversation will encourage you to believe for the impossible in whatever you’re facing today. Buy "The Case for Miracles" New York Times bestselling author Lee Strobel trains his investigative sights on the hot-button issue of whether it’s credible to believe God intervenes supernaturally in people’s lives today. This provocative book starts with an unlikely interview in which America’s foremost skeptic builds a seemingly persuasive case against the miraculous. But then Strobel travels the country to quiz scholars to see whether they can offer solid answers to atheist objections. Along the way, he encounters astounding accounts of healings and other phenomena that simply cannot be explained away by naturalistic causes. The book features the results of exclusive new scientific polling that shows miracle accounts are much more common than people think. What’s more, Strobel delves into the most controversial question of all: what about miracles that don’t happen? If God can intervene in the world, why doesn’t he do it more often to relieve suffering? Many American Christians are embarrassed by the supernatural, not wanting to look odd or extreme to their neighbors. Yet, The Case for Miracles: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for the Supernatural shows not only that the miraculous is possible, but that God still does intervene in our world in awe-inspiring ways. Here’s a unique book that examines all sides of this issue and comes away with a passionate defense for God’s divine action in lives today. The Case for Miracles: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for the Supernatural About Lee Strobel Lee Strobel, with a journalism degree from the University of Missouri and a Master of Studies in Law degree from Yale Law School, was the award-winning legal editor of the Chicago Tribune and a spiritual skeptic until 1981. His books include four Gold Medallion winners and the 2005 Christian Book of the Year (coauthored with Garry Poole). He and his wife live in Colorado.

I believe there is one factor—one key—that unlocks the door to experience your fullest potential and determines the altitude of your life, and that’s attitude. When the reins of life slip from your grip, your attitude is indeed one thing you definitely have total control over. And even more so, our ability to choose right thinking will either set our lives on a course for success…or failure. Today’s conversation is so rich and so full of wisdom. Joining us is world-renowned marriage and relationships expert, Jimmy Evans, and today, we’re unpacking his brand-new book, I Changed My Mind: Journey Toward Spiritual Maturity. The difference between success and failure is largely in our hands, and it all starts with attitude and right thinking. And because Jimmy is such a renowned expert on relationships, I took a few listener questions that you do not want to miss. Buy "I Changed My Mind" A change in attitude may have the single greatest effect on your behavior and success in life, except for salvation itself. Does your attitude lead to success, favor, and promotion? Or to failure, disfavor, and demotion? This book is a brief journey into the process of renewing believers’ minds to fulfill our purpose as humans to do God s will. Renewing our minds will enable us to know and do God’s good and perfect will. God has shown us how we should think and behave. The mind is the part of our soul that activates or originates behavior. Changing your mind is part of every believer’s journey toward spiritual maturity. Buy I Changed My Mind: Journey Toward Spiritual Maturity now.

I believe that what we build in life is important. But far outweighing what we build is a principle of life and effective leadership that I believe separates good leaders from great leaders, and that’s the principle of building people for significance and impact in life. That’s why I love the premise of today’s conversation, because whether you realize it or not, you have the opportunity to inspire and add value to the people in your life. So this applies to teachers and especially parents; executives and entrepreneurs; sports coaches; artists and entertainers. You see, it’s one thing to be a hero in life. But it’s another thing to give your life to become a hero maker. Today, we’re diving into the deep-end of the leadership pool with Dave Ferguson, author of the brand-new book, Hero Maker: Five Essential Practices for Leaders to Multiply Leaders (Exponential Series). And we’re going to be talking all about what I believe is a secret to effective leadership and multiplication as well breaking-down five essential keys to becoming a hero maker for the lives of the people you reach. So teachers, this is for you. Coaches, this is for you, too. Parents and caretakers, this is especially for you. And executives, pastors, and artists, listen closely, because this is critical for your leadership legacy. Buy "Hero Maker" Everybody wants to be a hero, but few understand the power of being a hero maker. In Hero Maker: Five Essential Practices for Leaders to Multiply Leaders (Exponential Series), you will learn how to bring real change to your church and community by developing the practical skills to help others reach their leadership potential. Drawing on five powerful practices found in the ministry of Jesus, Hero Maker presents the key steps of apprenticeship that will build up other leaders and provides strategies for how you can activate gifts, help others take ownership, and develop a simple scorecard for measuring your kingdom-building progress. Besides rich insights from the Gospels, Hero Maker is packed with real-life ministry stories ranging from paid staff to volunteer leaders and from established churches to new church plants. A practical tool accompanies each of the five practices, with several illustrations for how to use it. Whether you lead ten people or ten thousand, Hero Maker will not only help you maximize your leadership, but in doing so you will also help shift today's church culture to a model of reproduction and multiplication. Authors Dave Ferguson (a Chicago pastor and church planter) and Warren Bird (an award-winning writer) make a compelling case that God's power and purpose are best revealed when we train and release others, who in turn do likewise. Become that rare breed of leader who brings change into our world by sacrificially investing in others who become the heroes. By becoming a hero maker, you will join a movement of influencers that are impacting hundreds, thousands and perhaps millions of people around the world. About Dave Ferguson Dave said, "I dream of helping all people find their way back to God. I write to inspire, instruct and collaborate with others who share this dream. To see that dream realized I'm using my influence and creativity to catalyze a movement of reproducing churches. Toward that end I serve as the Lead Pastor for a remarkable group of Christ Followers called Community Christian Church and I provide visionary leadership for NewThing, a global network of reproducing churches."
