BOOM: President Trump Defunds Planned Parenthood! Here’s My Big Concern.
Posted on June 6, 2018 in Life, Money, Public Policy by Nathan Cherry
A Vice President for Planned Parenthood commented:“Under this rule, people will not get the health care they need. They won’t get birth control, cancer screenings, STD testing and treatment, or even general women’s health exams.” This just shows the desperation of Planned Parenthood as they completely ignore the facts. For example, the following was reported concerning this proposal:
Manufacturer Willing to Endanger Children to Make a Profit
Posted on May 1, 2018 in Money, Public Policy, Sexuality by Nathan Cherry
Let’s add some perspective to this scenario: engaging in sexual activity with a minor is illegal. Producing or consuming child pornography is illegal. And yet, at this very moment sex dolls made to appear child-like are being manufactured for sale. This means people that struggle with unnatural and illegal desires will be able to somewhat live out their fantasies.
How Identity Politics is Costing You Money

In recent years we’ve become more knowledgeable about the causes many corporations support than their actual services. Scores of people can’t tell you what’s inside a Hobby Lobby store, but they know they would never step foot inside because they support traditional marriage. Others have no idea what an AR style gun is and don’t know a single NRA member by name, but they know both are evil.
Toys R Us Partners with Organization That Killed Customers
Posted on April 11, 2018 in Money, Public Policy by Nathan Cherry
Toys R Us supported the Komen foundation. Komen actively partners with Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood is actively killing the customer base of Toys R Us. Toys R Us says declining birth rates contributed to declining profits and, ultimately, to the end of their business.
The lesson here is simple, if kids are your customer base, don’t support – directly or indirectly – any organization that works to kill your customer base.
How Casino’s Create Government Dependent Gambling Addicts
Posted on April 3, 2018 in Money, Public Policy by Nathan Cherry
The typical arguments in favor of opening a casino range from improving state sponsored services like schools and hospitals to increasing funding for education. On the surface these sound like honorable goals for bringing a casino to a community that may otherwise be struggling. But, as the gambling watchdog group Stop Predatory Gambling makes clear, these goals are rarely realized:
From One Pastor to Another: Don’t Wait to Get Your Financial House in Order
Posted on February 27, 2018 in Money, Theology by Nathan Cherry
I recently learned of a pastor that retired from ministry and told his wife they had enough money for 7-8 years. He then got brain cancer and died shortly after retiring, leaving his wife with medical bills and financial concerns. What could he have done differently? Who could he have asked for guidance to avoid this scenario?
I get the impression that many pastors think they don’t have enough money to work with a financial professional.
It’s Not Just Millennials that Need Personal Financial Education

I don’t like talking about debt. But I spend a lot of time talking (and writing) about debt. Mainly because our nation is drowning in debt. From the recent college graduate with $80,000 in student loans, to the middle-aged working class adults that are still paying off student loans but have added a mortgage, car payments, credit car balances, and a home equity line; our nation has a serious debt crisis.
According to an article at Business Insider that published the results of a Trading Economics study, out of 30 countries, America ranks #10 for having the most debt. Americans have a collective $1.14 trillion in auto debt, $1.28 trillion in student loans, and $8.82 trillion in mortgage debt. The total household debt of Americans is up to $8.82 trillion (as of the third quarter of 2016).
These numbers give America a household-debt-to-GDP number of 78.8%; making us the country with the 10th highest debt.
SHOCK: Company Sells Baby Heads to Undercover Reporters
Posted on January 9, 2018 in Life by Nathan Cherry
A biotech firm called Restore Life USA has been discovered selling aborted baby body parts. In this grisly version of this practice that was first made known to the American public when Planned Parenthood revealed that they sold aborted baby body parts, Restore Life USA was caught selling severed baby heads.
Christian Business and the Ministry of Wealth Creation
Posted on November 21, 2017 in Money by Nathan Cherry
I live in the “wealth creation” world. Part of my objective is to help people create and maintain assets that will allow them to live life the way they desire. It’s what all of us in the financial services industry seek for our clients on a continual basis.
One notable difference for me is that, as a Christian, I am constantly seeking to integrate my faith into my work and be “light and salt” to those I interact with. Many believe that wealth and religion are segregated. The thought persists that our finances and our faith have nothing to do with one another. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
In recent years more Christians have begun to understand the just how intertwined their faith and their finances really are.
