Whole Heart Finances With Dr. Shane Enete

When we separate Christ from our finances, we experience anxiety and alienation. By bringing our financial worries to God, we can grow in our relationship with Him and find comfort in His provision.

Practical Exercises for Joyful Money Management

At the end of each chapter in his book, Shane suggests Whole Heart exercises to help readers experience joy in managing money. One such exercise is creating a financial gratitude journal. You can transform a mundane task into a formative gratitude practice by tracking your expenses and recognizing God's provision.

Maximizing Generosity

Transforming your relationship with money requires integrating your faith into your financial decisions. By trusting Jesus, practicing gratitude, and prioritizing generosity, you can move from anxiety to joy in your financial journey.

On Today’s Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:

• What are the tax implications for my children, who have received an inherited small farm and house in their name since the 1990s? They did not have control over it until recently, when their father passed away. I wanted to know if they would have to pay capital gains or inheritance taxes now that they have complete control over the property.
• I recently transitioned from being an employee getting paid hourly to being an independent contractor on a 1099. I wanted to know if taking on more responsibility as a self-employed person was digging myself into a hole from a tax perspective or if there could be benefits. I also asked about keeping track of my miles for tax deductions and whether I could claim detention time spent waiting at locations as a deduction since I'm not paid for that time.
