Have you ever looked up and wondered, "How did I get here?"

The truth is, most of us don't intentionally neglect our faith, our family, our finances, or our calling...

We simply drift.

In Episode 118 of Prosper in the Kingdom, Wendy and I discuss why the biggest difference between the life you have and the life you want isn't talent, opportunity, or even hard work...

It's intentionality.

We'll explore a simple principle that has shaped my life for years: prepare before the door opens. Whether you're pursuing Christ, strengthening your marriage, building wealth, or preparing for your next opportunity, the decisions you make today often determine the opportunities you'll be ready for tomorrow.

We're also excited to introduce a new format for Prosper in the Kingdom!

We'll now alternate between two types of episodes:

🏡 Notes From the Kitchen Table – Honest conversations about faith, family, finances, work, and living with biblical purpose.

📚 Business Growth Lab – Practical leadership insights, business strategies, and book discussions designed to help entrepreneurs and professionals grow personally and professionally.

The Business Growth Lab is completely FREE to attend virtually! Join us live, ask questions, and engage in the discussion. You'll find upcoming dates, meeting links, and more information inside the Prosper in the Kingdom Community on Facebook.

Our mission hasn't changed: helping you become healthy, wealthy, and wise... God's way.

Have you ever stopped to wonder if your financial decisions actually fit together?

Most of us have access to more financial information than ever before. Podcasts, YouTube, social media, books, and conversations with friends all offer valuable advice. But collecting good ideas isn't the same as having a plan.

In this episode, Jon and Wendy explore why so many families end up with what Jon calls a "duct tape financial plan" and why true financial stewardship requires seeing the whole picture, not just individual pieces.

Using the timeless story of the blind men and the elephant, they discuss the difference between knowledge, understanding, and wisdom, and how a holistic financial strategy can bring clarity and confidence to your financial decisions.

• Why good financial advice can still leave you feeling uncertain
• The difference between collecting information and building a strategy
• What a "duct tape financial plan" looks like
• How biblical wisdom helps us see the bigger picture
• Why every financial decision should support your overall purpose and goals

Proverbs 24:3-4 (ESV)

"By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches."

Before looking for your next financial tip, take inventory of what you already have.

Gather your savings, investments, insurance, debt, retirement accounts, and estate documents. Then ask yourself one simple question:

"Do all of my financial decisions work together toward the life I'm trying to build?"

Sometimes the greatest breakthrough isn't learning something new.

It's finally seeing the whole picture.

Prosper in the Kingdom • Episode 116

If I asked you whether protecting your family is important...

I'm guessing you'd answer, "Absolutely."

But if I asked whether you have the legal documents in place to protect them if something unexpected happened tomorrow...

Would your answer be the same?

Over the past fifteen years, Jon has asked hundreds of families about their estate plan. Almost everyone agrees it's important. Yet only a small percentage have actually completed one—and many of those haven't updated their documents in years.

Why?

Because most people think estate planning is something only wealthy families need.

At Prosper in the Kingdom, we believe it's something much bigger. That's why we call it Legacy Protection Planning—because this isn't just about your assets. It's about protecting the people you love.

In this episode of Prosper in the Kingdom, Jon Cleaver and Wendy Lee discuss the four essential legal documents every adult should have, why every parent of an 18-year-old needs to understand how the rules change, and how biblical stewardship includes preparing your family for life's unexpected moments.

• Why we call it Legacy Protection Planning instead of Estate Planning

• The Four Essential Documents Every Adult Needs

• The common myths that keep families from taking action

• What every parent of an 18-year-old should know

• How preparation today creates peace of mind tomorrow

• Why protecting your family is one of the greatest acts of stewardship

One of the greatest gifts you can leave your family isn't simply wealth.

It's clarity.

Because Legacy Protection Planning isn't about preparing for your death.

It's about loving your family enough to prepare for life without you.
