Chad explained how money and possessions, as seen throughout Scripture, often lead to pride, greed, and idolatry, drawing hearts away from God. This is just as true today as it was in biblical times.</p><p>Shockingly, a recent study revealed that 94% of Christians do not hold a biblical worldview, highlighting the urgent need for ministries like <a href="https://www.faithfi.com/impact">FaithFi</a>. Our work centers on equipping and encouraging believers to adopt a biblical perspective on money, helping them move from greed and idolatry to generosity and contentment rooted in treasuring God above all else.</p><h3>A Ministry of Impact</h3><p>FaithFi’s mission comes alive through our various initiatives, including:</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.faithfi.com/show">The Faith & Finance Radio Show and Podcast:</a><br /><br />Reaching over 1.5 million weekly radio listeners across 1,900 stations and 825,000 podcast downloads annually, this program serves as a daily touchpoint for biblical financial wisdom.<br /> </li><li><a href="https://www.faithfi.com/manage">The FaithFi App:</a><br /><br />With over 65,000 members, the <a href="https://www.faithfi.com/manage">FaithFi app</a> is a powerful tool for stewardship.

I recently learned about accelerated Roth conversions and their potential impact on future taxes, Medicare, and Social Security. I'm not quite an IRA millionaire yet, but I'm getting close. Should I accelerate the Roth conversions, especially before year-end?</li><li>I turned 66 and a half in June of this year and started receiving Social Security in July. Now that I've reached full retirement age, can I still work and earn unlimited income, or is there a cap on my annual income?</li><li>I'm a recent high school graduate who will attend college in the fall. I'm deciding whether to get a job and put all the money into savings, living as sparingly as possible, or invest the money to make it work for me during this interim period before college.</li><li>My husband and I have some basic ideas about teaching our kids, ages 7 to 12, about giving and financial wisdom from the Bible. However, we don't have a structured approach. Do you have any recommended resources or books to guide us in teaching biblical financial principles to kids in this age range?</li><li>I'm going to be applying for Social Security soon. Is it best to apply for it online, go into the office, or do it by phone? Can I just do the application online?</li></ul><h3>Resources Mentioned:</h3><ul><li><a href="http://faithfi.com/impact">FaithFi.com/impact</a></li><li><a href="https://www.artrainer.com/the-secret-slide-money-club">The Secret Slide Money Club Series by Dr. Art Rainer</a></li><li><a href="https://www.openhandsfinance.com/">Open Hands Finance</a>|</li><li><a href="https://compassfinancialministry.org/">Compass Financial Ministry</a></li><li><a href="http://ssa.gov">SSA.gov</a></li><li><a href="https://www.faithfi.com/sparrows">Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and Anxiety</a></li><li><a href="https://www.faithfi.com/rtg">Rich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich Fool</a></li><li><a href="https://www.faithfi.com/find">Find a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)</a></li><li><a href="https://www.faithfi.com/manage">FaithFi App</a></li></ul>
