  Ralph,
• 0:38
  I'm
• 0:38
  worried
• 0:38
  that
• 0:38
  some
• 0:38
  of
• 0:39
  my
• 0:39
  investments
• 0:39
  might
• 0:39
  be
• 0:40
  supporting
• 0:40
  things
• 0:40
  I
• 0:40
  don't
• 0:41
  believe
• 0:41
  in.
• 0:41
  How
• 0:42
  do
• 0:42
  I
• 0:42
  make
• 0:42
  sure
• 0:42
  my
• 0:42
  money
• 0:43
  reflects
• 0:44
  my
• 0:44
  values?
• 0:45
  That's
• 0:45
  a
• 0:45
  powerful
• 0:46
  question,
• 0:46
  isn't
• 0:46
  it?
• 0:47
  Let
• 0:47
  me
• 0:47
  ask
• 0:47
  you,
• 0:48
  have
• 0:48
  you
• 0:48
  thought
• 0:48
  about
• 0:48
  that
• 0:48
  yourself?
• 0:50
  Now
• 0:50
  before
• 0:50
  I
• 0:51
  get
• 0:51
  into
• 0:51
  it
• 0:51
  too
• 0:51
  deep
• 0:51
  today,

  remember
• 0:52
  this,

  you

  so
• 0:59
  you
• 0:59
  ever
• 0:59
  wonder
• 0:59
  if
• 0:59
  your
• 1:00
  money
• 1:00
  is
• 1:00
  quietly
• 1:01
  funding
• 1:01
  things
• 1:01
  that
• 1:01
  you
• 1:02
  never
• 1:02
  personally
• 1:02
  support?
• 1:03
  Well,

  balancing

  to

  Well,

  I
• 1:31
  really
• 1:31
  appreciate
• 1:32
  you
• 1:32
  being
• 1:32
  here.
• 1:33
  We're
• 1:33
  continuing
• 1:33
  our
• 1:34
  journey
• 1:34
  of
• 1:34
  bringing
• 1:34
  faith
• 1:35
  and
• 1:35
  finances
• 1:36
  together
• 1:36
  as
• 1:36
  we
• 1:36
  talk
• 1:36
  about
• 1:37
  investments.
• 1:38
  You
• 1:38
  don't
• 1:38
  know
• 1:38
  much
• 1:39
  about
• 1:39
  me.
• 1:39
  My
• 1:39
  name
• 1:39
  is
• 1:39
  Ralph.
• 1:40
  I've
• 1:40
  worked
• 1:40
  with
• 1:41
  believers
• 1:41
  just
• 1:41
  like
• 1:42
  you
• 1:42
  who
• 1:42
  wanted
• 1:42
  to
• 1:43
  align
• 1:43
  their
• 1:43
  financial
• 1:44
  life
• 1:44
  with
• 1:44
  their
• 1:44
  spiritual
• 1:45
  life.
• 1:45
  And
• 1:46
  let
• 1:46
  me
• 1:46
  tell
• 1:46
  you
• 1:46
  right
• 1:46
  now,
• 1:47
  and
• 1:47
  this
• 1:47
  shows
• 1:48
  particularly
• 1:48
  important,
• 1:49
  it's
• 1:49
  not
• 1:49
  always
• 1:49
  easy
• 1:50
  to
• 1:50
  do
• 1:50
  that.
• 1:50
  It's
• 1:50
  not
• 1:51
  always
• 1:51
  easy
• 1:51
  to
• 1:52
  keep
• 1:52
  those
• 1:52
  things
• 1:53
  in
• 1:53
  alignment.
• 1:54
  And
• 1:54
  I've
• 1:54
  worked
• 1:55
  with
• 1:55
  hundreds
• 1:55
  of
• 1:55
  clients
• 1:55
  over
• 1:56
  the
• 1:56
  years.
• 1:56
  We've
• 1:56
  researched
• 1:57
  ethical
• 1:57
  and
• 1:58
  faith
• 1:58
  based
• 1:58
  investment
• 1:59
  strategies
• 1:59
  to
• 2:00
  help
• 2:00
  clients
• 2:00
  just
• 2:01
  like
• 2:01
  you
• 2:01
  invest
• 2:02
  with
• 2:02
  peace
• 2:03
  of
• 2:03
  mind
• 2:04
  and
• 2:04
  find
• 2:04
  that
• 2:05
  balance
• 2:05
  between
• 2:06
  investments
• 2:06
  and
• 2:06
  faith.
• 2:06
  And
• 2:07
  let
• 2:07
  me
• 2:07
  tell
• 2:07
  you
• 2:07
  right
• 2:07
  now,
• 2:07
  it's
• 2:07
  not
• 2:07
  always
• 2:08
  easy.
• 2:09
  For
• 2:09
  example,
• 2:09
  I
• 2:10
  work
• 2:10
  with
• 2:10
  a
• 2:10
  couple,
• 2:11
  it's
• 2:11
  been
• 2:11
  a
• 2:11
  few
• 2:11
  years
• 2:12
  ago
• 2:12
  now,
• 2:12
  they
• 2:13
  discovered
• 2:13
  their
• 2:13
  retirement
• 2:14
  fund
• 2:14
  was
• 2:14
  invested
• 2:15
  in
• 2:15
  industries
• 2:15
  they
• 2:16
  were
• 2:16
  strongly
• 2:16
  against.
• 2:16
  I'm
• 2:17
  talking
• 2:17
  about
• 2:17
  diametrically
• 2:18
  opposed
• 2:19
  to.
• 2:20
  And
• 2:20
  when
• 2:20
  I
• 2:20
  shared
• 2:21
  that
• 2:21
  with
• 2:21
  them,
• 2:21
  we
• 2:21
  looked
• 2:22
  at
• 2:22
  their
• 2:22
  funds
• 2:22
  and
• 2:22
  I
• 2:22
  pulled
• 2:23
  it
• 2:23
  up
• 2:23
  on
• 2:23
  the
• 2:23
  computer,
• 2:23
  said
• 2:24
  well
• 2:24
  here's
• 2:24
  what
• 2:24
  this
• 2:24
  investments
• 2:25
  shock
• 2:25
  on
• 2:26
  their
• 2:26
  faces
• 2:26
  were
• 2:26
  like,
• 2:26
  I
• 2:27
  can't
• 2:27
  believe
• 2:27
  that
• 2:27
  Ralph.
• 2:28
  I
• 2:28
  would
• 2:28
  never
• 2:28
  support
• 2:29
  those
• 2:29
  things.
• 2:30
  The
• 2:31
  good
• 2:31
  news
• 2:31
  is
• 2:31
  we
• 2:31
  were
• 2:31
  able
• 2:32
  to
• 2:32
  shift
• 2:32
  to
• 2:32
  more
• 2:33
  aligned
• 2:33
  investments.
• 2:34
  And
• 2:35
  I'll
• 2:35
  never
• 2:35
  forget
• 2:35
  the
• 2:35
  wife
• 2:36
  said
• 2:36
  to
• 2:36
  me,
• 2:36
  she
• 2:36
  goes
• 2:36
  Ralph,
• 2:37
  I
• 2:37
  had
• 2:37
  no
• 2:37
  idea
• 2:38
  what
• 2:38
  we
• 2:38
  were
• 2:38
  putting
• 2:38
  our
• 2:39
  money
• 2:39
  into.
• 2:40
  And
• 2:40
  when
• 2:40
  they
• 2:40
  were
• 2:40
  able
• 2:41
  to
• 2:41
  move
• 2:41
  those
• 2:41
  things
• 2:41
  around,
• 2:42
  they
• 2:42
  felt
• 2:42
  peace
• 2:43
  and
• 2:43
  they
• 2:43
  knew
• 2:44
  that
• 2:44
  their
• 2:44
  money
• 2:44
  was
• 2:44
  working
• 2:45
  for
• 2:45
  their
• 2:46
  values
• 2:46
  instead
• 2:46
  of
• 2:46
  against
• 2:47
  it.
• 2:48
  And
• 2:48
  I
• 2:48
  love
• 2:48
  what
• 2:48
  Larry
• 2:49
  Birkett
• 2:49
  said.
• 2:50
  He
• 2:50
  said
• 2:51
  what
• 2:51
  you
• 2:51
  do
• 2:51
  with
• 2:52
  your
• 2:52
  money
• 2:52
  reveals
• 2:53
  what
• 2:53
  you
• 2:53
  believe
• 2:53
  about
• 2:54
  God.
• 2:55
  So
• 2:55
  let
• 2:55
  me
• 2:56
  ask
• 2:56
  you
• 2:56
  right
• 2:56
  now.
• 2:56
  And
• 2:57
  this
• 2:57
  might
• 2:57
  be
• 2:57
  across
• 2:58
  the
• 2:58
  bow
• 2:58
  question,
• 2:59
  what
• 2:59
  are
• 3:00
  you
• 3:00
  doing
• 3:00
  with
• 3:00
  your
• 3:00
  money?
• 3:01
  Because
• 3:01
  that's
• 3:02
  what
• 3:02
  we
• 3:02
  really
• 3:02
  need
• 3:02
  to
• 3:02
  talk
• 3:03
  about
• 3:03
  today.
• 3:03
  What
• 3:04
  are
• 3:04
  you
• 3:04
  doing
• 3:04
  with
• 3:05
  your
• 3:05
  money?
• 3:05
  Are
• 3:05
  you
• 3:05
  living
• 3:06
  in
• 3:06
  your
• 3:06
  ethical
• 3:07
  values?
• 3:08
  And
• 3:09
  see,
• 3:09
  a
• 3:09
  lot
• 3:09
  of
• 3:09
  people
• 3:09
  think,
• 3:09
  well,
• 3:10
  Ralph,
• 3:10
  wait
• 3:10
  a
• 3:10
  second.
• 3:10
  If
• 3:11
  I'm
• 3:11
  going
• 3:11
  to
• 3:11
  invest
• 3:11
  ethically,
• 3:12
  that
• 3:12
  means
• 3:12
  I'm
• 3:13
  not
• 3:13
  going
• 3:13
  to
• 3:13
  get
• 3:13
  any
• 3:13
  return
• 3:13
  on
• 3:14
  my
• 3:14
  money.
• 3:14
  I'm
• 3:15
  never
• 3:15
  going
• 3:15
  to
• 3:15
  make
• 3:15
  any
• 3:16
  money.
• 3:17
  That's
• 3:17
  just
• 3:17
  not
• 3:17
  correct.
• 3:18
  But
• 3:18
  it
• 3:19
  does
• 3:19
  mean
• 3:19
  this.
• 3:19
  It
• 3:19
  means
• 3:20
  investing
• 3:20
  with
• 3:20
  purpose.
• 3:21
  Because
• 3:22
  the
• 3:22
  truth
• 3:22
  is,
• 3:22
  now
• 3:23
  you
• 3:23
  can
• 3:23
  filter
• 3:23
  out
• 3:24
  industries,
• 3:25
  industries
• 3:25
  like
• 3:25
  gambling
• 3:26
  or
• 3:26
  pornography
• 3:27
  or
• 3:27
  alcohol
• 3:28
  or
• 3:28
  weapons,
• 3:29
  any
• 3:29
  of
• 3:29
  those
• 3:29
  things
• 3:30
  that
• 3:30
  conflict
• 3:30
  with
• 3:31
  your
• 3:31
  values.
• 3:31
  And
• 3:31
  I'm
• 3:31
  not
• 3:31
  even
• 3:31
  judging
• 3:32
  any
• 3:32
  of
• 3:32
  those
• 3:32
  things
• 3:33
  today,
• 3:33
  but
• 3:34
  in
• 3:34
  your
• 3:34
  own
• 3:34
  value
• 3:35
  set,
• 3:35
  if
• 3:35
  they
• 3:35
  conflict
• 3:36
  with
• 3:36
  your
• 3:36
  values,
• 3:36
  guess
• 3:37
  what?
• 3:37
  You
• 3:37
  don't
• 3:38
  have
• 3:38
  to
• 3:38
  invest
• 3:38
  in
• 3:38
  that.
• 3:39
  But
• 3:39
  the
• 3:39
  key
• 3:39
  to
• 3:39
  this,
• 3:40
  and
• 3:40
  it's
• 3:40
  a
• 3:40
  lot
• 3:40
  of
• 3:41
  people
• 3:41
  don't
• 3:41
  know
• 3:41
  this.
• 3:41
  One
• 3:42
  of
• 3:42
  the
• 3:42
  reasons
• 3:42
  I
• 3:42
  did
• 3:42
  today's
• 3:43
  show,
• 3:44
  you
• 3:44
  got
• 3:44
  to
• 3:44
  know
• 3:44
  what
• 3:45
  you're
• 3:45
  investing
• 3:45
  in.
• 3:46
  Because
• 3:47
  once
• 3:47
  you
• 3:47
  understand
• 3:47
  what
• 3:48
  you're
• 3:48
  investing,
• 3:48
  once
• 3:48
  you
• 3:48
  understand
• 3:49
  the
• 3:49
  stocks
• 3:50
  or
• 3:50
  what's
• 3:50
  underneath
• 3:51
  of
• 3:51
  that
• 3:51
  investment,
• 3:52
  then
• 3:52
  you
• 3:52
  can
• 3:52
  invest
• 3:53
  in
• 3:53
  businesses
• 3:54
  that

  human

  dignity,
• 3:55
  that
• 3:56
  promote
• 3:56
  stewardship,
• 3:57
  maybe
• 3:57
  Christian
• 3:57
  values,
• 3:58
  those
• 3:59
  things
• 3:59
  that
• 3:59
  are
• 3:59
  going
• 3:59
  to
• 3:59
  have

  a

  positive

  impact
• 4:01
  and
• 4:01
  not
• 4:01
  contradict
• 4:02
  your
• 4:02
  values.
• 4:02
  And
• 4:03
  here's
• 4:03
  the
• 4:03
  exciting
• 4:03
  part,
• 4:04
  and
• 4:04
  I'm
• 4:04
  loving
• 4:04
  this.
• 4:05
  There
• 4:05
  are
• 4:06
  more
• 4:06
  and
• 4:06
  more
• 4:06
  Christian
• 4:07
  people,
• 4:07
  people
• 4:08
  of
• 4:08
  faith,
• 4:09
  who
• 4:09
  are
• 4:09
  asking
• 4:09
  these
• 4:10
  questions
• 4:10
  of
• 4:10
  their
• 4:10
  brokers,
• 4:11
  who
• 4:11
  are
• 4:11
  are
• 4:12
  asking
• 4:12
  these
• 4:12
  questions
• 4:13
  of
• 4:13
  investment
• 4:14
  houses.
• 4:15
  How
• 4:16
  do
• 4:16
  we
• 4:16
  connect
• 4:16
  our
• 4:17
  faith
• 4:17
  to
• 4:17
  our
• 4:17
  finances?
• 4:19
  And
• 4:19
  it's
• 4:19
  a
• 4:19
  growing
• 4:20
  trend,
• 4:20
  and
• 4:20
  it's
• 4:20
  a
• 4:20
  trend
• 4:20
  that
• 4:21
  allows
• 4:21
  you
• 4:21
  to
• 4:21
  finally
• 4:22
  bring
• 4:22
  into
• 4:22
  alignment
• 4:23
  that
• 4:24
  peace.
• 4:24
  And
• 4:25
  you
• 4:25
  don't
• 4:25
  lose
• 4:25
  your
• 4:25
  testimony,
• 4:27
  because
• 4:27
  remember
• 4:27
  this
• 4:28
  and
• 4:29
  listen.
• 4:29
  This
• 4:29
  is
• 4:29
  going
• 4:29
  to
• 4:29
  step
• 4:30
  on
• 4:30
  my
• 4:30
  own
• 4:30
  toes
• 4:30
  a
• 4:30
  little
• 4:30
  bit
• 4:31
  here.
• 4:31
  Your
• 4:31
  money
• 4:32
  tells
• 4:32
  a
• 4:32
  story.
• 4:34
  It
• 4:34
  tells
• 4:34
  a
• 4:34
  story
• 4:35
  about
• 4:35
  what
• 4:35
  you
• 4:35
  value,
• 4:35
  what
• 4:36
  you
• 4:36
  believe
• 4:36
  in,
• 4:36
  what
• 4:36
  you
• 4:37
  hold
• 4:37
  as
• 4:37
  sacred,
• 4:38
  what
• 4:38
  you
• 4:38
  treasure.
• 4:40
  My
• 4:40
  grandfather
• 4:40
  was
• 4:40
  famous
• 4:41
  for
• 4:41
  saying
• 4:41
  this.
• 4:42
  He
• 4:42
  said,
• 4:42
  put
• 4:42
  your
• 4:42
  money
• 4:43
  where
• 4:43
  your
• 4:43
  heart
• 4:43
  is.
• 4:45
  See,
• 4:46
  your
• 4:46
  values
• 4:46
  matter
• 4:47
  more
• 4:47
  than
• 4:47
  your
• 4:47
  investment
• 4:48
  returns.
• 4:49
  That's
• 4:49
  true,
• 4:49
  isn't
• 4:50
  it?
• 4:51
  Let's
• 4:51
  talk
• 4:51
  about
• 4:52
  the
• 4:52
  Bible.
• 4:52
  I
• 4:53
  found
• 4:53
  the
• 4:53
  perfect
• 4:53
  verse
• 4:54
  for
• 4:54
  today's
• 4:54
  show.
• 4:54
  It
• 4:55
  comes
• 4:55
  from
• 4:55
  Colossians,
• 4:56
  chapter
• 4:56
  3,
• 4:57
  verse
• 4:57
  23.
• 4:57
  It
• 4:57
  reminds
• 4:58
  us
• 4:58
  this.
• 4:59
  Whatever
• 4:59
  you
• 5:00
  do,
• 5:00
  work
• 5:01
  at
• 5:01
  it
• 5:01
  with
• 5:01
  all
• 5:01
  your
• 5:01
  heart,
• 5:02
  as
• 5:02
  working
• 5:02
  for
• 5:02
  the
• 5:03
  Lord,
• 5:03
  not
• 5:03
  for
• 5:04
  human
• 5:04
  masters.
• 5:06
  And
• 5:06
  I
• 5:06
  just
• 5:06
  want
• 5:06
  to
• 5:06
  park
• 5:07
  here
• 5:07
  for
• 5:07
  a
• 5:07
  second,
• 5:08
  because
• 5:09
  this
• 5:09
  applies
• 5:09
  to
• 5:10
  investments,
• 5:10
  it
• 5:10
  applies
• 5:11
  to
• 5:11
  our
• 5:11
  jobs,
• 5:11
  it
• 5:12
  applies
• 5:12
  to
• 5:12
  everything
• 5:12
  we
• 5:13
  do.
• 5:13
  What
• 5:13
  is
• 5:13
  the
• 5:13
  Bible
• 5:13
  telling
• 5:14
  us?
• 5:14
  Whatever
• 5:14
  you
• 5:15
  do,
• 5:16
  whatever
• 5:16
  that
• 5:16
  thing
• 5:17
  is,
• 5:18
  work
• 5:18
  at
• 5:18
  it
• 5:18
  with
• 5:18
  all
• 5:19
  your
• 5:19
  heart.
• 5:19
  Like
• 5:19
  my
• 5:19
  grandfather
• 5:20
  said,
• 5:20
  where's
• 5:20
  your
• 5:20
  heart?
• 5:22
  And
• 5:22
  think
• 5:22
  about
• 5:23
  this.
• 5:23
  Who
• 5:23
  you
• 5:23
  answering
• 5:24
  to?
• 5:24
  You're
• 5:24
  not
• 5:24
  answering
• 5:24
  to
• 5:24
  your
• 5:25
  boss.
• 5:25
  You're
• 5:26
  not
• 5:26
  answering
• 5:26
  to
• 5:26
  some
• 5:27
  market.
• 5:27
  You're
• 5:27
  answering
• 5:28
  to
• 5:28
  the
• 5:28
  Lord,
• 5:29
  not
• 5:29
  for
• 5:29
  human
• 5:29
  masters.
• 5:31
  So
• 5:31
  whatever
• 5:31
  you
• 5:31
  do,
• 5:32
  work
• 5:32
  at
• 5:32
  it
• 5:32
  with
• 5:32
  all
• 5:32
  your
• 5:32
  heart
• 5:33
  as
• 5:33
  working
• 5:33
  for
• 5:33
  the
• 5:33
  Lord.
• 5:35
  It's
• 5:35
  all
• 5:35
  about
• 5:36
  honoring
• 5:36
  those
• 5:36
  values,
• 5:37
  those
• 5:37
  things
• 5:37
  that
• 5:38
  keep
• 5:38
  you
• 5:38
  in
• 5:39
  the
• 5:39
  will
• 5:39
  of
• 5:39
  God.
• 5:39
  And
• 5:39
  I'm
• 5:40
  going
• 5:40
  to
• 5:40
  give
• 5:40
  you
• 5:40
  a
• 5:40
  bonus
• 5:40
  verse
• 5:41
  today.
• 5:41
  Yes,
• 5:41
  it's
• 5:41
  bonus
• 5:42
  first
• 5:42
  day.
• 5:43
  This
• 5:43
  is
• 5:43
  from
• 5:44
  Proverbs,
• 5:44
  chapter
• 5:45
  16,
• 5:45
  verse
• 5:46
  3.
• 5:46
  It
• 5:46
  says
• 5:46
  this.
• 5:47
  Commit
• 5:47
  to
• 5:47
  the
• 5:47
  Lord
• 5:47
  whatever
• 5:48
  you
• 5:48
  do.
• 5:50
  Here's
• 5:50
  the
• 5:50
  promise.
• 5:52
  And
• 5:52
  he
• 5:52
  will
• 5:52
  establish
• 5:53
  your
• 5:53
  plans.
• 5:55
  I
• 5:56
  want
• 5:56
  to
• 5:56
  say
• 5:56
  something
• 5:56
  that's
• 5:57
  a
• 5:57
  little
• 5:57
  bit
• 5:57
  strong,
• 5:58
  but
• 5:58
  when
• 5:59
  you
• 5:59
  do
• 5:59
  that,
• 5:59
  when
• 5:59
  you
• 5:59
  commit
• 6:00
  to
• 6:00
  the
• 6:00
  Lord,
• 6:00
  whatever
• 6:00
  you
• 6:01
  do,
• 6:01
  he
• 6:01
  becomes
• 6:02
  your
• 6:02
  investment
• 6:03
  advisor.
• 6:05
  That's
• 6:05
  what
• 6:05
  I
• 6:05
  want
• 6:05
  you
• 6:05
  to
• 6:06
  do
• 6:06
  today.
• 6:06
  Well,
• 6:06
  how
• 6:06
  about
• 6:06
  we
• 6:06
  pray
• 6:07
  together
• 6:07
  right
• 6:07
  now?
• 6:08
  Lord,
• 6:09
  we
• 6:09
  just
• 6:09
  thank
• 6:09
  you
• 6:09
  for
• 6:10
  godly
• 6:10
  discernment,
• 6:12
  Lord.
• 6:12
  Help
• 6:12
  us
• 6:12
  to
• 6:12
  clarify,
• 6:13
  to
• 6:13
  see
• 6:13
  that
• 6:14
  if
• 6:14
  our
• 6:14
  money
• 6:14
  truly
• 6:15
  affects
• 6:15
  our
• 6:15
  values,
• 6:16
  will
• 6:16
  reflect
• 6:17
  what
• 6:17
  you
• 6:17
  want
• 6:17
  us
• 6:18
  to
• 6:18
  do
• 6:18
  and
• 6:18
  what
• 6:18
  you
• 6:18
  want
• 6:18
  us
• 6:19
  to
• 6:19
  invest
• 6:19
  in.
• 6:20
  So
• 6:20
  right
• 6:20
  at
• 6:20
  this
• 6:21
  moment,
• 6:21
  Lord,
• 6:21
  we
• 6:21
  ask
• 6:21
  you
• 6:21
  to
• 6:21
  grant
• 6:22
  us
• 6:22
  wisdom
• 6:22
  in
• 6:23
  choosing
• 6:23
  investments
• 6:24
  that
• 6:24
  honor
• 6:24
  you,
• 6:24
  that
• 6:25
  honor
• 6:25
  things
• 6:25
  that
• 6:25
  we
• 6:26
  believe
• 6:26
  in.
• 6:27
  Help
• 6:27
  us
• 6:27
  to
• 6:27
  find
• 6:28
  those
• 6:28
  things.
• 6:28
  Give
• 6:28
  us
• 6:28
  that
• 6:29
  biblical
• 6:29
  discernment
• 6:30
  to
• 6:30
  understand
• 6:30
  what
• 6:30
  we're
• 6:31
  vesting
• 6:31
  in,
• 6:31
  the
• 6:31
  courage
• 6:32
  to
• 6:32
  ask
• 6:32
  questions
• 6:34
  and
• 6:34
  the
• 6:34
  strength
• 6:34
  to
• 6:35
  make
• 6:35
  wise
• 6:35
  decisions.
• 6:36
  That
• 6:36
  may
• 6:37
  not
• 6:37
  be
• 6:37
  what
• 6:37
  the
• 6:38
  world
• 6:38
  sees
• 6:38
  as
• 6:38
  the
• 6:38
  best
• 6:39
  decision,
• 6:39
  Lord,
• 6:39
  but
• 6:40
  what
• 6:40
  our
• 6:40
  faith
• 6:40
  and
• 6:41
  our
• 6:41
  values
• 6:41
  tell
• 6:41
  us
• 6:42
  to
• 6:42
  do,
• 6:42
  Lord.
• 6:42
  And
• 6:42
  we
• 6:43
  just
• 6:43
  thank
• 6:43
  you
• 6:43
  for
• 6:43
  the
• 6:43
  privilege
• 6:44
  of
• 6:44
  stewarding
• 6:45
  resources
• 6:45
  faithfully.
• 6:46
  And
• 6:47
  we
• 6:47
  ask
• 6:47
  this
• 6:47
  in
• 6:48
  the
• 6:48
  name
• 6:48
  of
• 6:48
  Jesus.
• 6:48
  Amen.
• 6:50
  So
• 6:50
  here's
• 6:50
  your
• 6:51
  action
• 6:51
  step
• 6:51
  for
• 6:51
  this
• 6:52
  week.
• 6:52
  A
• 6:52
  lot
• 6:53
  of
• 6:53
  people
• 6:53
  are
• 6:53
  amazed
• 6:53
  by
• 6:54
  this.
• 6:54
  I
• 6:54
  want
• 6:54
  you
• 6:54
  to
• 6:54
  just
• 6:54
  go
• 6:55
  and
• 6:55
  review
• 6:55
  just
• 6:55
  one
• 6:56
  of
• 6:56
  your
• 6:56
  current
• 6:56
  investments,
• 6:57
  go
• 6:58
  find
• 6:58
  out
• 6:58
  what
• 6:58
  they
• 6:59
  invest
• 6:59
  in,
• 6:59
  and
• 7:00
  ask
• 7:00
  yourself
• 7:00
  this
• 7:01
  completely
• 7:01
  difficult
• 7:02
  question
• 7:02
  sometimes.
• 7:03
  Does
• 7:03
  this
• 7:03
  align
• 7:03
  with
• 7:04
  my
• 7:04
  values?
• 7:04
  And
• 7:05
  I
• 7:05
  know
• 7:05
  it's
• 7:05
  not
• 7:05
  easy.
• 7:06
  Does
• 7:06
  it
• 7:06
  align
• 7:06
  with
• 7:07
  my
• 7:07
  values?
• 7:07
  If
• 7:08
  it
• 7:08
  doesn't,
• 7:08
  I'm
• 7:08
  going
• 7:08
  to
• 7:08
  encourage
• 7:09
  you
• 7:09
  to
• 7:09
  do
• 7:09
  something,
• 7:09
  explore
• 7:10
  some
• 7:10
  opportunities,
• 7:11
  if
• 7:11
  not,
• 7:11
  explore
• 7:12
  some
• 7:12
  alternatives,
• 7:12
  because
• 7:13
  there
• 7:13
  are
• 7:13
  some
• 7:13
  great
• 7:13
  alternatives
• 7:14
  out
• 7:14
  there.
• 7:15
  And
• 7:15
  ask
• 7:15
  yourself
• 7:16
  this,
• 7:17
  where
• 7:17
  is
• 7:18
  your
• 7:18
  faith
• 7:19
  showing
• 7:19
  up
• 7:19
  in
• 7:19
  your
• 7:19
  finances?
• 7:22
  One
• 7:23
  of
• 7:23
  the
• 7:23
  things
• 7:23
  I
• 7:23
  would
• 7:23
  encourage
• 7:24
  you
• 7:24
  to
• 7:24
  do
• 7:24
  is
• 7:24
  support
