What if the biggest risk isn't stepping out in faith but burying what God has entrusted you with?

In this episode, we sit down with Bryan Taylor, CFA, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of Cornerstone Management, to explore what it means to take intentional risks for Jesus with our finances, our careers, and our lives.

Bryan shares the story of how, at just 31 years old, he faced a life-changing decision: leave the company he worked for or take a leap of faith and buy it.

Drawing from more than 25 years of investment experience serving Christian nonprofits, Bryan offers a fresh perspective on generosity, financial stewardship, and kingdom impact. We discuss why every gift matters, how to give wisely, and how organizations can balance financial risk with responsibility.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why generosity isn't determined by the size of your bank account.
• How to develop a thoughtful philosophy of giving.
• What it means to steward God's resources rather than treat them as our own.
• Why God is more concerned with our growth than our fear of failure.

Listen in—and keep the talents out of the ground.

We just got back from the THINQ Summit in Nashville, and this episode is basically us processing everything we heard, experienced, and are still thinking about.

Our biggest takeaway? Don’t force the door. Pray. Pay attention. Stay faithful. And trust that God’s timing is better than our own.

We also talk about the spiritual realm, the power of genuine Christian community, asking better questions instead of always searching for easy answers, and learning to rest in God’s sovereignty.

Plus… a popped tire, a rental van, a Walmart detour, four kids, and an early flight to Costa Rica. 😂

Come listen, think with us, and let us know: What’s something God has been teaching you about His timing lately?

What does it actually mean to live intentionally? In this spontaneous episode of Mango Diaries, we unpack the difference between simply wanting something and actually building the habits, discipline, and follow-through to live it out.

In this episode we explore what “intentional risk taking with Jesus” really means: taking small steps when you feel a nudge, pursuing what matters, and trusting God even when you don't know exactly where the path will lead.

Intentional living isn't about getting everything right. It’s about knowing what matters, taking the next step, and being willing to grow along the way.
