They emphasize the importance of seeing everyday work as an opportunity for ministry, challenging the notion that ministry is confined to church activities.

They have added podcasts for iRetire4Him and sheWorks4Him into their line-up.

Married in 2007, they lived like most Americans do, not extravagantly but not intentionally. In 2010, also like many Americans, the financial crisis led Brian and Erica, along with their newborn son, to turn in desperation to God for financial help and guidance. He provided for them then and has continued to ever since. Brian and Erica, along with their four children (Weston, Barrett, Rowan, and Eden), have learned to faithfully apply God’s principles to their lives and are passionate about helping others do the same. In his role, Brian applies learnings from his 15 years of cross-functional corporate experience to ensure the most efficient and effective use of the resources God has provided.
