  • Generosity is a Worldview, Not a Budget Item

    Generosity is a Worldview, Not a Budget Item
    2026/08/11

    Have you considered the relationship between joy and your standard of giving?

    In this episode, Jeff discusses:

    • How the world views success versus how God views success.
    • Five Biblical truths about wealth.
    • Jeff’s turnaround moment.
    • Modern and Biblical stories of Kingdom Generosity.

    Key Takeaways:

    • If you’re making $65,000 per year, you’re in the top 1% of earners worldwide.
    • We are stewards, not owners. It all belongs to God. If you get that right, a lot of things fall into place.
    • How much is enough for you? How much is enough for the kids? What should you do with the rest? Bring those questions to God, and He will guide you with the resources He has blessed you with.
    • Pay attention to what breaks your heart, and you might be surprised.

    "What I learned is the best thing you can do, the safest, the most adventurous thing you can do, even if it sounds nuts (and it usually does to everybody else) is follow the will of God. Put Him first, and ask Him what to do. Submit to His will, and it is so much better." — Jeff Thomas

  • Cale Dowell: Flourishing for Individuals and Families

    Cale Dowell: Flourishing for Individuals and Families
    2026/08/04
    Right now, we're in the greatest transfer of wealth in human history. How do we facilitate that transfer in a way that best allows for our families and legacies to flourish? In this episode, Jeff and Cale discuss: Looking beyond the KPIs to the FPIs. The six Ps of the Flourishing Performance Indicators (FPIs). How the FPIs can look different from person to person. Recognizing the gaps in our FPIs to make appropriate changes in our lives. Key Takeaways: Language creates clarity. Clarity changes conversations. Conversations, in this aspect, can change families, and then families change futures and outcomes.When we feel hollow or empty or stagnant, those can be indicators that, you know perhaps, there's something going on in our psychological life that could require or that could use some work.Flourishing is not a destination; it's participation.Take inventory of how you are doing in all six of the FPIs. Without putting language to where you are and identifying it, nothing will change. "People who are flourishing with their principles tend to have what one might call a moral code or a strong character by which they live. They align with the decisions that they make and the actions that they take. If we believe in certain principles as a way of living our lives, and we strive to make them a way of being rather than just a checklist, it contributes to all of the other FPIs because it helps us to interact with the world without really losing a sense of who we are." — Cale Dowell Episode References: Flourishing Performance Indicators: A New Framework for Wealth and Legacy - https://humanflourishing.web.baylor.edu/sites/g/files/ecbvkj2151/files/2025-12/KFPI%20December%2019_2025.pdf About Cale Dowell: After diving deep into the hurdles clients face when picking a financial partner, Cale determined that financial advice should offer more than just managing a portfolio. He left Morgan Stanley to help launch Arkos and “Rebuild Wall Street” by creating a paradigm shift in the way the wealth management industry serves and impacts people. His passion is rooted in the mission to help families thrive across generations. Cale is a published thought leader in vulnerability analysis and risk mitigation. He is the creator of Wealth Languages™, a captivating public speaker, and has consulted with many of the world’s largest corporations. His diverse experience spans technology, commercial real estate, O&G, private equity, and startups. Cale spends an inordinate amount of time igniting contagious, positive environments and investing in relationships… because culture devours strategy for breakfast. After graduating from Baylor University, Cale tied the knot with his Aggie sweetheart, Lynne, and now calls Houston home with their two little ones. They are actively involved in their church and Young Life, where Cale has served for over 15 years. He is a 40 under 40 recipient, actively contributes to several non-profit boards, and is a 7th-generation Texan. Not surprisingly, he is just as stubborn about Texas as you would imagine.

  • Mark Whitacre: Following the Compass of God

    Mark Whitacre: Following the Compass of God
    2026/07/28

    Who are the mentors in your life that you are learning from? Are they leading you to God or down the wrong path?

    In this episode, Jeff and Mark discuss:

    • Doing the right thing even when nobody else is.
    • The importance of following the compass of the Lord, not of mammon.
    • Seeing the miracles of God in the worst moments of our lives.
    • Introducing God to others through your business.

    Key Takeaways:

    • If you don’t have God, money will become your God.
    • If you find yourself going down the wrong path, change your mentor, and you will change your whole future.
    • God and purpose will fill the voids in your life far more than money or notoriety ever will.
    • As long as it remains optional, you can absolutely talk about faith and have a chaplain in your business.
    • Be bold about your service to God. Legally, you gain protections because people know who you are, know what you’re about, and know your values from the get-go.
    • You can never go wrong by doing the right thing.

    "Show me your mentor, and I’ll show you your future." — Mark Whitacre
