Learn how to build a simple estate plan and lend or repay family money without hurting your relationships. What’s the first thing to do when creating an estate plan? What’s the smartest way to handle loans between friends or family? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola break down estate-planning basics like wills, revocable trusts, living wills/advance healthcare directives, and durable powers of attorney — tools that can ensure your wishes are carried out and help your loved ones avoid probate. They also share when to update your documents, how beneficiary designations can override your will, and three simple to-dos to get started without feeling overwhelmed. Then, mortgage and student loans writer Kate Wood joins Sean and Elizabeth to answer a listener’s question about paying a loan back to her parents. They explore how family loans and lending circles work, why it’s important to put agreements in writing (and when notarizing helps), and the impact informal loans can have on your credit. They also weigh different ways to set money aside, comparing high-yield savings accounts with taxable brokerage accounts invested in ETFs and considering timelines, growth potential, and tax trade-offs.

Welcome to the final sermon of our "Almost True" series, titled "Why Doesn't God Give Me What I Want?" Pastor Brandon from The Greater Guild Church tackles one of the most common struggles in faith—the idea that God exists to fulfill our every desire.

Welcome to the second installment of our sermon series, "Almost True." This week's sermon, titled "When Self-Love is Selfish," takes a hard look at how today's culture often pushes self-love to the point of selfishness.

Website: https://www.greaterguild.org Donate: https://theguild.church/give Welcome to this week's sermon titled "God Mode." Have you ever wondered, "Could life get any worse?"—especially after facing a major life event or a time of trouble? Join us as we explore the concept of "cheats" in gaming like CoD, Battlefield, the Konami Code, and Cheat Engine, and relate it to our everyday struggles and faith journey. In this sermon, we'll delve into the truth that God never promised an easy life after the expulsion from Eden. The scriptures remind us that life involves pain and hard work. We'll discuss how anyone promising an easy life is a false prophet or a scammer. Just like becoming good at gaming requires a learning curve, life demands patience, effort, and perseverance. Instead of praying for an easy life, Proverbs 24:10 encourages us to build our strength in adversity. We'll also look at the pitfalls of instant wealth, as Proverbs 13:11 warns us that wealth gained hastily will dwindle. But how can we make life easier? Give Your Problems to God and Jesus : Together, you can handle the burdens of life. (Mt 11:28-30) Expect Trouble and Stay Humble : Humble yourselves under God's mighty hand, and cast all your anxieties on Him. (1 Pe 5:6-7) Pray Persistently : The parable of the persistent widow teaches us to always pray and not lose heart. (Lk 18:1) We'll also share a humorous story from Rust where a developer uses a polar bear with bombs to deal with cheaters, illustrating how cheats may seem appealing but rob us of the real experience and growth. Imagine life with "God Mode"—it would be boring, just like a rollercoaster without fear, playing Dark Souls with cheats, or creating perfect cosplay outfits without effort. Instead, let's embrace the adventures and challenges life brings, being humble and sharing our burdens with God and Jesus. Tune in to our live stream for an engaging and inspiring message. Don't forget to read Luke 18:1-8 for further insight!…
