Steve Kinsley meets with Craig to share his journey from tech start-up founder to South African missionary.  Steve’s life partner, Teresa, was not just instrumental in opening the door to the mission field for Steve, she also expanded his concept of family.  During their time as missionaries, Steve watched Teresa do what she was made to do, fulfilling their calling – they also changed the destiny of a child with the word “Yes.” Listen as Steve discusses the impact Alfie had on their lives, through the lens of a marriage that was completed.

Certified Financial Planner Kristi Tidwell did not fully comprehend the long-term financial effects a divorce would have on a family until she lived it herself.  But weathering the storm of her own personal journey, she found a new calling and a way to use her expert knowledge to help others in the same situation sift through the financial complexities of starting over.  A divorce is the single biggest financial event in a person’s life, and to ensure the best possible outcome, it helps to have a person like Kristi focused on crunching the numbers when it matters the most.  Listen as she discusses her walk through divorce, common financial mistakes and how to walk away from the process with new found confidence and fiscal health.
