In this episode, Pastor Addison Roberts sits down with Steve Echternach, a financial coach at Grace Community Church, to discuss biblical financial stewardship and practical money management. Drawing from his 15 years of experience in financial coaching and former career as Strasburg Borough Police Chief, Echternach shares insights on creating financial plans, avoiding debt, and building wealth with purpose. The conversation covers Dave Ramsey's "Baby Steps," the importance of budgeting, and how proper financial planning can lead to both personal stability and generous giving.

Former MLB player and local Lancaster native (and GCCer) Jeff Bianchi discusses navigating youth sports as a Christian parent. Drawing from his professional baseball experience and current role running Bianchi Baseball Academy, he addresses the pressures of modern youth sports, maintaining family balance, and keeping faith as the priority. The conversation covers practical advice for parents on managing sports schedules, dealing with competitive pressure, and fostering character development through athletics.

Housing insecurity is a pressing concern that impacts numerous communities, including Lancaster County. Shelby Nauman, CEO of Tenfold, sheds light on the multifaceted nature of this issue, which ranges from homelessness to the inability to afford stable housing. Factors such as low vacancy rates, high housing costs, and income instability exacerbate the problem, making it difficult for many to secure a place to live. The annual Point in Time Count revealed a 13.5% increase in homelessness, highlighting the severity of the situation. Tenfold addresses these challenges through various programs, including outreach, lending, supportive housing, and transitional shelters. Community involvement is crucial in addressing housing insecurity, and as Christians, we are called to care for those in need. By volunteering, advocating for affordable housing, and supporting organizations like Tenfold, we can make a significant difference in our communities.
