In this episode of Yahweh’s Money, we’re keeping it faithful, practical, and generational. Shay Cook sits down with longtime friend, veteran, and financial role model Angela Byrd for a powerful conversation on how to build a legacy of faith and financial wisdom that lasts for generations.

This episode explores the intersection of spiritual stewardship, family values, and financial preparedness—showing why leaving a godly inheritance goes far beyond money. Angela opens up about growing up between Jamaica, England, and the U.S., watching her grandmother invest in land in the 1950s, and how those lessons continue to guide her financial and spiritual journey today.

Together, Shay and Angela unpack what it means to “pass the ledger and the Lord”—equipping future generations with wisdom, preparation, and peace of mind.

You’ll discover:

• How faith and financial discipline go hand in hand when leaving a legacy.
• The difference between material inheritance and spiritual financial legacy.
• Why having insurance, wills, and estate plans is an act of love—not fear.
• The real cost of avoiding financial conversations in Black and Brown families.
• How to choose an executor who aligns with your values—not just your family ties.
• The importance of teaching children and grandchildren about money early.
• Why land ownership and paying property taxes are vital to preserving family wealth.
• How prayer, obedience, and stewardship create stability across generations.

Featured Scripture:

Proverbs 13:22 — “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the sinner’s wealth is laid up for the righteous.”

Action Step:

This week, identify one financial principle you learned from an elder—whether it’s saving, giving, or stewardship. Write it down, pray over it, and share it with a younger family member. Because true wealth isn’t just what you leave for your family—it’s what you leave in them.

In this episode of Yahweh’s Money, we’re talking real faith, real planning, and real peace.

I sit down with my lifelong friend, Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Haneda Latese Garner, founder of HLG Resources and HG Travels, to talk about what it means to prepare for the future with faith as the foundation.

From serving in combat zones to launching her own consulting and travel companies, Latese shares the lessons she’s learned about stewardship, balance, and trusting God through every season. Together, we explore how spiritual growth and financial planning go hand in hand, and why retirement is not an end—but an evolution of purpose.

You’ll discover:

• The Balance of Faith & Finances – How to trust God’s plan while saving diligently and making smart, spirit-led decisions.
• Investing in Yourself – Why spiritual rest, reflection, and self-care are just as vital as 401(k)s and real estate portfolios.
• From Military to Mission-Driven – How Latese transitioned from 20 years of Army service to entrepreneurship and community leadership.
• Overcoming Fear with Faith – Practical steps to replace financial anxiety with wisdom, prayer, and planning.
• Purpose Beyond the Paycheck – How redefining “work” opens the door to peace, growth, and God-aligned living.

Featured Scripture:

Jeremiah 29:11 — “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Action Step:

This week, take time to assess your next season. Review your finances, pray over your goals, and ask God to reveal one change you can make today to better prepare for tomorrow—with diligence, discipline, and divine trust.

In this episode of Yahweh’s Money, we’re talking real faith, real impact, and real generosity. I sit down with my cousins Anshay Tull and Anshia Crooms, co-founders of Project Hygiene, a nonprofit combating bullying and restoring dignity through hygiene closets for kids in need.

From a single idea in 2011 to 14 years of nationwide outreach, their story proves you don’t need abundance to bless others—you need a willing heart. Hear how a bar of soap or a kind word can change a life, why 227 schools are on their waitlist, and how communities from D.C. to Mississippi to Jamaica are being touched by simple acts of giving.

You’ll discover:

• The Power of Small Gifts – Real stories of students whose confidence and safety were restored with basic hygiene items.
• Behind the Movement – How Project Hygiene grew from one benefit concert to 10 stocked hygiene closets and international outreach.
• Ways to Give Without Money – Practical tips for donating time, encouragement, or resources to bless others—even on a tight budget.
• Faith & Finances – How trusting God with what little we have builds resilience and community.

Featured Scripture:

2 Corinthians 9:7 — “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

Action Step:

This week, identify one way to bless someone—write an encouraging note, volunteer an hour, or share a resource. Pray for God to multiply your effort and renew your joy in giving.
