    Russ Crosson: Leveraging Your Wealth with Biblical Wisdom
    2026/06/23
    What if the real measure of your success isn’t the size of your business, but how intentionally you leverage your wealth for generosity, family harmony, and impact that outlasts your lifetime? In this episode, Jeff and Russ discuss: Separating the business finances from the personal.Intentional communication around wealth.Teaching and learning biblical financial principles for decades.Integrating family communication in wealth conversations.Leveraging business wealth for generosity, donor-advised funds, and eternal impact. Key Takeaways: Growing wealth increases complexity, not simplicity. Intentional planning and communication must increase as net worth grows.Separating business and personal finances is foundational; confusion between the two creates stress, conflict, and poor decisions.Assets should match the skills and calling of the recipient. Misaligned inheritances often create frustration instead of freedom. Joint ownership among heirs also commonly creates frustration and conflict and should be approached with caution.Don’t tie your ego to your assets so much that you don’t have the courage to begin to convert the form to help your kids. "Take your specific assets, run them through, and see where the unintended consequences are, and come back to not a lot of joint ownership. You want your kids to do what God's called them to do, not what God called you to do." — Russ Crosson About Russ Crosson: Russ Crosson is a senior partner of Blue Trust and was hired in 1980 as the second employee of Blue Trust.

  • Chuck Welden: Integrating Faith Deeply into Your Business

    Chuck Welden: Integrating Faith Deeply into Your Business
    2026/06/16

    What is the goal and assignment you have received from God?

    In this episode, Jeff and Chuck discuss:

    • God can find you wherever you are, even if you aren’t expecting it.
    • Humbling and honestly handling struggles.
    • Ministry outside of church employment.
    • Beginning with moderation on business ministry.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Your work matters to God. He can have an impact through you no matter what industry or sector you are in.
    • You’re not as smart as you think you are; you’re not as dumb as you think you are, either.
    • You don’t treasure what you don’t measure. How are you progressing God’s Kingdom each day?
    • Get good at what you’re doing. It will help your business flourish and your generosity increase.

    "We say you don't treasure what you don't measure. We measure everything, and then we rely on God to show us how we can change and how we can evolve, how we can modify." — Chuck Welden

  • Jacob Robinson: Operating with Imagination, Building with Faith

    Jacob Robinson: Operating with Imagination, Building with Faith
    2026/06/09

    What if all of the nos and disasters of your life are the start of the exact path God is using to build something bigger?

    In this episode, Jeff and Jacob discuss:

    • Discovering entrepreneurship through networking.
    • Seeing the world how Jesus asks us to.
    • Operating from a place of faith, not fear, regardless of our memory of fear.
    • Learning something every step of the way.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Take the first step - it is more likely to be a curb or a three foot wall, not a cliff.
    • Start before you know everything. You will be learning throughout the process of whatever you’re doing. You are going to miss, both for good and for bad, but you won’t know if you don’t start.
    • The spirit of fear is not of the Lord. He can do more with us than we think is possible.
    • You cannot write the end of your story. Just keep going - your story will be worth telling one day.

    "The Lord did not give you this vision or this desire or this relentless ability for nothing, and one of two things are going to happen: either the business will come to fruition, the way that you've envisioned it, and the way that the Lord has put on your heart, or it won't, but something will come out of that for the better." — Jacob Robinson

    About Jacob Robinson: Jacob Robinson is the founder of three start-ups including Dig World, a theme park where kids and adults get to operate real construction equipment. 1 Stone Solutions, a commercial cleaning company and DryPort Capital, an industrial outdoor storage real estate firm.

    He has successfully started, raised funds, built management teams, and executed plans to bring three diverse businesses to life.

    In 2023, Jacob was recognized as one of the “Most Admired CEOs in Houston” by the Houston Business Journal. He is honored to serve on the Board of Directors for the Brookwood Community for disabled adults and is involved in his church.

    In 2025, Jacob aired on ABCs hit show, Shark Tank telling his personal story and the story of Dig World to a national audience.

    Jacob is a graduate from Texas A&M University. He lives in Katy, TX with his wife, Melissa and children, Pierce, Annie, and Spencer.
