I believe that life is not about a destination – but it’s about embracing the journey. I believe that our ultimate goal during our journey is to create great relationships with those we meet along our path. If we do have an ultimate destination it’s to attain a relationship with Jesus Christ. It is my view that most people aren’t able to attain higher levels of self-actualization because they are too distracted by their everyday lives and the obstacles created by their basic humans needs like food – clothing – and shelter. I have come to learn that knowledge is power and the more we know the more likely we will be able to move beyond our basic life requirements. I have found that what gets measured get done and to be truly effective we all need to measure twice and cut once. Along the journey of life, you take you with you, so the more you grow along the journey the greater your ability to reach deeper and more engaging relationships.

Ralph has been through the highs and lows of managing money - he's made mistakes, learned powerful lessons, and wants to share that journey with you. Expect a refreshing blend of practical advice and Biblical principles. We'll cover everything from creating a rock-solid budget and ditching debt to building ethical businesses and exploring the transformative power of generous giving. Whether you're a business owner yearning to integrate your faith into your work, or simply a person desiring wise stewardship of what you've been given, this podcast is for you. Get ready to ditch financial stress, gain clarity and confidence, and use your resources to fulfill God's calling in your life.
