One More: The Power of Personal Financial Discipleship with Brian Holtz

Over time, the reading list has evolved, but the goal has always remained the same: to encourage deep spiritual formation.

Some of the books commonly used in the process include:

• Humility by Andrew Murray
• Trusting God by Jerry Bridges
• Financial Discipleship by Peter Briscoe
• The Master Plan of Evangelism by Robert Coleman

Each of these works invites believers to reflect deeply on their relationship with God. But as Brian Holtz explained, the real power isn’t in the book list. It’s in the relationship.

The conversations that happen as we discuss what God is teaching—how Scripture shapes decisions, priorities, and daily life—become the true treasure of the process.

A Life-Shaping Year

For Brian, this model of discipleship became deeply personal. Nearly a decade ago, his family had just relocated across state lines for work. Everything felt unsettled—his job, church, and even family rhythms. Nothing seemed to be falling into place.

Then a friend invited him into this simple discipleship process: reading Scripture and a few books together over the course of a year.

What began as a small commitment ended up transforming nearly every area of his life.

What started as one faithful investment became a turning point in Brian’s life—and he has since walked many others through the same journey.

Where Discipleship Begins

For many believers, the idea of discipling someone else can feel intimidating. We imagine complicated programs or advanced theological training.

But Brian offers a far simpler starting point. Don’t read books alone anymore.

Invite someone to read with you—whether it’s Scripture, a devotional, or a Christian book. Meet regularly, talk about what you’re learning, and discuss how those truths apply to your life. 

That’s it. One conversation at a time.

One Faithful Relationship at a Time

Discipleship rarely begins with a platform or a program.

More often, it starts with a single faithful relationship—two people opening Scripture together, asking honest questions, and encouraging one another to follow Christ more closely. And when that investment is repeated again and again, the impact multiplies in ways we may never fully see.

One conversation. One relationship. One more life shaped for eternity.

On Today’s Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:

• My 19-year-old daughter still lives at home, and we want to help her learn good money habits before she moves out. Should we charge her rent and save it for her? What percentage makes sense, where should we keep it, and is it wise for her to get a credit card to start building credit?
• We lived in a home for 20 years, then turned it into a rental five years ago. It hasn’t been rented for about a year due to renovations. If we sell now, can we avoid capital gains taxes, and how should we handle tithing from the sale in the most tax-efficient way?
• My daughter is listed on my bank accounts, but her struggling business could lead to bankruptcy. Could that put my money at risk, and should I remove her from the accounts to protect it?
