  • Why Market Timing Fails
    Sep 19 2025

    Panic is expensive. History shows many of the biggest up days arrive right after the worst ones.


    In this episode of Plan to Prosper, we walk through five historic market selloffs and the surprising speed of their rebounds. From Black Tuesday in 1929 to Black Monday in 1987 to the dot-com bust, we show how missing just a handful of strong recovery days can harm long-term results. We talk about loss aversion, the temptation to bail when balances drop, and why diversification and steady stewardship matter. Anchored in Scripture, we encourage a patient, prayerful approach that seeks to honor God with wise planning and resilient investing.


    What you’ll learn:

    • Why negative emotions feel stronger than gains, and how loss aversion fuels bad decisions

    • How some of the best single days often cluster near the worst days, and why timing them is nearly impossible

    • What past crashes and rebounds teach long-term investors about staying invested

    • How diversification across sectors can soften the blow when one area falls hard

      • Biblical principles for patient stewardship, including Proverbs 21:5 and Ecclesiastes 11:2

  • Fitness is Stewardship
    Sep 15 2025

    What if your health is the missing piece between where you are and the leadership God is calling you to?


    Fitness is not just about looking good. It is about stewarding what God has given you so you can serve powerfully.


    In this episode of Plan to Prosper, we unpack the surprising connection between fitness, leadership, and financial stewardship. Using Michael Hyatt’s story as a launching point, we talk about how consistency in physical health compounds strength, discipline, and clarity. These habits impact your financial decisions, leadership capacity, and your ability to steward well across all areas of life.


    What you’ll learn

    • How improving your physical health can sharpen your mental focus, discipline, and emotional resilience

    • Ways that consistent fitness "deposits" act like compound interest in your relationships, leadership, and finances

    • Practical goal-setting strategies for linking exercise to long term growth instead of short term wins

    • How to measure progress in health in ways that matter beyond weight or aesthetics

    • Faith rooted motivations for caring for your body as a temple and stewarding your whole self for God's glory
