outward trappings of a successful career outward trappings of a successful career that I was about to have and the that I was about to have and the that I was about to have and the training at the University there was a training at the University there was a training at the University there was a there was a there was an emptiness that there was a there was an emptiness that there was a there was an emptiness that just wouldn't be filled by whatever just wouldn't be filled by whatever just wouldn't be filled by whatever University would offer the usual things University would offer the usual things University would offer the usual things and then um you know I was persuaded by and then um you know I was persuaded by and then um you know I was persuaded by we a mission that was held in the we a mission that was held in the we a mission that was held in the by somebody who came and spoke to us by somebody who came and spoke to us by somebody who came and spoke to us about you know a deeper personal about you know a deeper personal about you know a deeper personal commitment to Christ that this was real commitment to Christ that this was real commitment to Christ that this was real and affected every day it wasn't merely and affected every day it wasn't merely and affected every day it wasn't merely a a nice club to join as a result of a a nice club to join as a result of a a nice club to join as a result of which I think Faith came alive but I which I think Faith came alive but I which I think Faith came alive but I then decided that I had to test this to then decided that I had to test this to then decided that I had to test this to see whether there was any intellectual see whether there was any intellectual see whether there was any intellectual rigor to what might have been an rigor to what might have been an rigor to what might have been an emotional response and I read theology emotional response and I read theology emotional response and I read theology for a year at Cambridge and survived for a year at Cambridge and survived for a year at Cambridge and survived there because those were the the the hey there because those were the the the hey there because those were the the the hey days of of of of liberalism and and you days of of of of liberalism and and you days of of of of liberalism and and you know I'm happy to say that you know know I'm happy to say that you know know I'm happy to say that you know there been many ups and downs and doubts there been many ups and downs and doubts there been many ups and downs and doubts on ethical issues of which there were on ethical issues of which there were on ethical issues of which there were many but on the basics of the faith I many but on the basics of the faith I many but on the basics of the faith I think that I was grounded there uh in a think that I was grounded there uh in a think that I was grounded there uh in a in the basics of the faith and that has in the basics of the faith and that has in the basics of the faith and that has been unchanged over all these years and been unchanged over all these years and been unchanged over all these years and it's pretty well this year 50 years of it's pretty well this year 50 years of it's pretty well this year 50 years of coming to Faith uh at University so coming to Faith uh at University so coming to Faith uh at University so probably twice as old as most of the probably twice as old as most of the probably twice as old as most of the people listening to people listening to people listening to us yeah I've got a few years on most of us yeah I've got a few years on most of us yeah I've got a few years on most of them too um you mentioned them too um you mentioned them too um you mentioned misunderstandings about money in the misunderstandings about money in the misunderstandings about money in the church that you discovered when you went church that you discovered when you went church that you discovered when you went to Cambridge what were some of those
-
to Cambridge what were some of those to Cambridge what were some of those initial misconceptions that you noted initial misconceptions that you noted initial misconceptions that you noted well it was filthy Luca it was tainted well it was filthy Luca it was tainted well it was filthy Luca it was tainted it was it was not you know you know it it was it was not you know you know it it was it was not you know you know it was not it it was probably if it it was was not it it was probably if it it was was not it it was probably if it it was The Dark Side of money which never had a The Dark Side of money which never had a The Dark Side of money which never had a side and then I realized of course that side and then I realized of course that side and then I realized of course that that actually you know all all money is that actually you know all all money is that actually you know all all money is given to us as one of the many gifts given to us as one of the many gifts given to us as one of the many gifts that God has given in order to be used that God has given in order to be used that God has given in order to be used parable of the talent to be used parable of the talent to be used parable of the talent to be used effectively to be used faithfully and effectively to be used faithfully and effectively to be used faithfully and you know faithfulness and you know faithfulness and you know faithfulness and Effectiveness um you know run together Effectiveness um you know run together Effectiveness um you know run together and when they run together there's a and when they run together there's a and when they run together there's a symbiotic relationship between the two symbiotic relationship between the two symbiotic relationship between the two that actually makes it strong and good that actually makes it strong and good that actually makes it strong and good and uh and so that was the early stages and uh and so that was the early stages and uh and so that was the early stages since then of course there's a slight since then of course there's a slight since then of course there's a slight embarrassment um sly in England probably embarrassment um sly in England probably embarrassment um sly in England probably different in the US um of talking about different in the US um of talking about different in the US um of talking about money as it would affect the day-to-day money as it would affect the day-to-day money as it would affect the day-to-day lives of people um which is a strange lives of people um which is a strange lives of people um which is a strange thing when you consider that thing when you consider that thing when you consider that 97% of the people that turn up in a 97% of the people that turn up in a 97% of the people that turn up in a church on a Sunday actually do some work church on a Sunday actually do some work church on a Sunday actually do some work not saying that the pastors don't but not saying that the pastors don't but not saying that the pastors don't but they they are mean they're in a they they are mean they're in a they they are mean they're in a different space and many of the pastors different space and many of the pastors different space and many of the pastors are ill equipped so I wrot a book called are ill equipped so I wrot a book called are ill equipped so I wrot a book called God at work to try and help people to God at work to try and help people to God at work to try and help people to understand that my workplace is My understand that my workplace is My understand that my workplace is My Worship Worship Worship station so where I the worship station station so where I the worship station station so where I the worship station and the workstation run together that's

and the workstation run together that's and the workstation run together that's where God calls us to be um and there is where God calls us to be um and there is where God calls us to be um and there is no distinction between the sacred and no distinction between the sacred and no distinction between the sacred and the secular which I think has been one the secular which I think has been one the secular which I think has been one of those great I mean there was a time of those great I mean there was a time of those great I mean there was a time when the church simply abandoned when the church simply abandoned when the church simply abandoned probably after the enlightenment um and probably after the enlightenment um and probably after the enlightenment um and so spirit ized everything but we are a so spirit ized everything but we are a so spirit ized everything but we are a material Faith Jesus spoke more about material Faith Jesus spoke more about material Faith Jesus spoke more about money than about marriage he's so you money than about marriage he's so you money than about marriage he's so you know that whole but car we we'll go off know that whole but car we we'll go off know that whole but car we we'll go off onto a tangent if you allow me to so onto a tangent if you allow me to so onto a tangent if you allow me to so stop tangents are always welcome here stop tangents are always welcome here stop tangents are always welcome here yeah but you were a Marxist at the time yeah but you were a Marxist at the time yeah but you were a Marxist at the time right when did that because I mean don't right when did that because I mean don't right when did that because I mean don't marxists think that money I mean the the marxists think that money I mean the the marxists think that money I mean the the big difference is free market versus big difference is free market versus big difference is free market versus State Market but you know marxists don't State Market but you know marxists don't State Market but you know marxists don't exactly glor ify Capital either no but exactly glor ify Capital either no but exactly glor ify Capital either no but the point about it was that actually uh the point about it was that actually uh the point about it was that actually uh we was you know those were the years we was you know those were the years we was you know those were the years where it looked as if the humanity was where it looked as if the humanity was where it looked as if the humanity was Marx was restoring a Humanity that in Marx was restoring a Humanity that in Marx was restoring a Humanity that in the apartate system in South Africa the apartate system in South Africa the apartate system in South Africa wasn't there uh and so that you know wasn't there uh and so that you know wasn't there uh and so that you know that it wasn't the economic and I'm now that it wasn't the economic and I'm now that it wasn't the economic and I'm now realizing I've realized you know coming realizing I've realized you know coming realizing I've realized you know coming to to England that actually the economic to to England that actually the economic to to England that actually the economic system of Marxism simply doesn't work system of Marxism simply doesn't work system of Marxism simply doesn't work but what he did do was he did accentuate but what he did do was he did accentuate but what he did do was he did accentuate the humanity of what he was trying to do the humanity of what he was trying to do the humanity of what he was trying to do I think it was a false distinction I think it was a false distinction I think it was a false distinction because although he might have been able because although he might have been able because although he might have been able to show us being freed from the to show us being freed from the to show us being freed from the capitalist subjugation of the masses capitalist subjugation of the masses capitalist subjugation of the masses actually there was nothing in Marxism

trust has to be built by individuals trust has to be built by individuals which are spiritual emotional as well as which are spiritual emotional as well as which are spiritual emotional as well as Financial you want to do well yes but Financial you want to do well yes but Financial you want to do well yes but you want to do good as well and the good you want to do good as well and the good you want to do good as well and the good bit dropped off and Banks became uh bit dropped off and Banks became uh bit dropped off and Banks became uh excessively leveraged greed took over excessively leveraged greed took over excessively leveraged greed took over trust was broken um and it was one of trust was broken um and it was one of trust was broken um and it was one of the first major major shocks to the the first major major shocks to the the first major major shocks to the capitalist capitalist capitalist system yeah one of the things you know system yeah one of the things you know system yeah one of the things you know Seminary those most of our listeners Seminary those most of our listeners Seminary those most of our listeners work at a church we have a a good work at a church we have a a good work at a church we have a a good percentage that are like you they work percentage that are like you they work percentage that are like you they work in the wider world and serve in the in the wider world and serve in the in the wider world and serve in the church and then we've got a scattering church and then we've got a scattering church and then we've got a scattering of other listeners too but you know of other listeners too but you know of other listeners too but you know having served as a pastor for 20 years U having served as a pastor for 20 years U having served as a pastor for 20 years U you live off a Sal usually fairly modest you live off a Sal usually fairly modest you live off a Sal usually fairly modest Etc sometimes money can be a struggle Etc sometimes money can be a struggle Etc sometimes money can be a struggle for pastors you've had a lot of if you for pastors you've had a lot of if you for pastors you've had a lot of if you can call it success personally can call it success personally can call it success personally financially and and that's not financially and and that's not financially and and that's not guaranteed because you can be an guaranteed because you can be an guaranteed because you can be an investment banker and not make money or investment banker and not make money or investment banker and not make money or lose all kinds of money or make a good lose all kinds of money or make a good lose all kinds of money or make a good but average wage but you've had but average wage but you've had but average wage but you've had extraordinary success I'd love for you extraordinary success I'd love for you extraordinary success I'd love for you to unpack some inflection points or some to unpack some inflection points or some to unpack some inflection points or some good decisions I'm sure you've made good decisions I'm sure you've made good decisions I'm sure you've made mixed decisions over time like everybody mixed decisions over time like everybody mixed decisions over time like everybody but I'd like you to look back and maybe but I'd like you to look back and maybe but I'd like you to look back and maybe pick out a couple of of inflection pick out a couple of of inflection pick out a couple of of inflection points or good decisions you made along points or good decisions you made along points or good decisions you made along the way that that could be instructive the way that that could be instructive the way that that could be instructive to the rest of to the rest of to the rest of us I think the first inflection I us I think the first inflection I us I think the first inflection I remember it very remember it very remember it very vividly um was vividly um was vividly um was realizing um that um you know money's
-
realizing um that um you know money's realizing um that um you know money's the power of money most people the power of money most people the power of money most people understand misunderstand the understand misunderstand the understand misunderstand the extraordinary powerful nature extraordinary powerful nature extraordinary powerful nature I mean after all your money will survive I mean after all your money will survive I mean after all your money will survive you when you die there will be a bank you when you die there will be a bank you when you die there will be a bank account it would be the estate of carry account it would be the estate of carry account it would be the estate of carry new of but there will be in a bank new of but there will be in a bank new of but there will be in a bank account there will be money in it I account there will be money in it I account there will be money in it I imagine um well this this what we're imagine um well this this what we're imagine um well this this what we're working toward we're hoping and so it working toward we're hoping and so it working toward we're hoping and so it becomes an idol and the idol the becomes an idol and the idol the becomes an idol and the idol the principal claim of the idol is to principal claim of the idol is to principal claim of the idol is to survive death or to be able to manage survive death or to be able to manage survive death or to be able to manage death or to sweeten death death or to sweeten death death or to sweeten death and so when you when so the first and so when you when so the first and so when you when so the first realization I remember walking down a realization I remember walking down a realization I remember walking down a street in London next to the Majestic street in London next to the Majestic street in London next to the Majestic Bank of England as solid as you could Bank of England as solid as you could Bank of England as solid as you could imagine it to be and realizing that imagine it to be and realizing that imagine it to be and realizing that actually it was a temporary institution actually it was a temporary institution actually it was a temporary institution that it would go like money would go it that it would go like money would go it that it would go like money would go it did not have that permanence that would did not have that permanence that would did not have that permanence that would um that would be claiming all people's um that would be claiming all people's um that would be claiming all people's allegiance to to that so I think that allegiance to to that so I think that allegiance to to that so I think that was that first realization um that money was that first realization um that money was that first realization um that money was fleeting but powerful and if you was fleeting but powerful and if you was fleeting but powerful and if you underestimate it um then you really have underestimate it um then you really have underestimate it um then you really have begun to start with trouble uh so that I begun to start with trouble uh so that I begun to start with trouble uh so that I think was a major change on the on the think was a major change on the on the think was a major change on the on the understanding of it the second I understanding of it the second I understanding of it the second I remember was the nature of tithing I remember was the nature of tithing I remember was the nature of tithing I know people have differing views know people have differing views know people have differing views particularly in England where they say

particularly in England where they say particularly in England where they say well you don't want to be prescriptive well you don't want to be prescriptive well you don't want to be prescriptive you need to be generous Etc it's always you need to be generous Etc it's always you need to be generous Etc it's always the generosity I've always worked out of the generosity I've always worked out of the generosity I've always worked out of the most generous never manages to add the most generous never manages to add the most generous never manages to add up to 10% but there we are uh if you are up to 10% but there we are uh if you are up to 10% but there we are uh if you are going to be generous I think you want to going to be generous I think you want to going to be generous I think you want to be over that number and so I mean I be over that number and so I mean I be over that number and so I mean I didn't think in the early stages of you didn't think in the early stages of you didn't think in the early stages of you know life was difficult we had a young know life was difficult we had a young know life was difficult we had a young family there was a big mortgage to pay family there was a big mortgage to pay family there was a big mortgage to pay there were payments on cars and salary there were payments on cars and salary there were payments on cars and salary wasn't as much and and so obviously it wasn't as much and and so obviously it wasn't as much and and so obviously it was difficult making payments but it was difficult making payments but it was difficult making payments but it started small and incrementally added started small and incrementally added started small and incrementally added and it I think just that discipline and it I think just that discipline and it I think just that discipline facing the facing the facing the reality but wanting to correct it made a reality but wanting to correct it made a reality but wanting to correct it made a big change in the understanding of of of big change in the understanding of of of big change in the understanding of of of of of money and I think thirdly is very of of money and I think thirdly is very of of money and I think thirdly is very important is actually to be able to talk important is actually to be able to talk important is actually to be able to talk to somebody about you a peer of some to somebody about you a peer of some to somebody about you a peer of some kind you know roughly the same where kind you know roughly the same where kind you know roughly the same where there's no jealousy involved you have there's no jealousy involved you have there's no jealousy involved you have it's it's a very difficult judgment but it's it's a very difficult judgment but it's it's a very difficult judgment but someone who you can talk to you can talk someone who you can talk to you can talk someone who you can talk to you can talk to about your finances and I've done it to about your finances and I've done it to about your finances and I've done it to to to several people separately to to to several people separately to to to several people separately um and I've learned a lot from others um and I've learned a lot from others um and I've learned a lot from others who've made those comments to me so who've made those comments to me so who've made those comments to me so those would be the milestones in that um those would be the milestones in that um those would be the milestones in that um Journey but it is a journey car I Journey but it is a journey car I Journey but it is a journey car I money's the power of money you you know money's the power of money you you know money's the power of money you you know economists talk about money being economists talk about money being economists talk about money being nominal and you know we could use um nominal and you know we could use um nominal and you know we could use um bits of um bead and exchange things but

bits of um bead and exchange things but bits of um bead and exchange things but instead we've got a currency but but the instead we've got a currency but but the instead we've got a currency but but the Bible is very full of one thing that Bible is very full of one thing that Bible is very full of one thing that money is numinous in other words it has money is numinous in other words it has money is numinous in other words it has power in power in power in itself um and that power can be used for itself um and that power can be used for itself um and that power can be used for good or for ill but it is powerful and good or for ill but it is powerful and good or for ill but it is powerful and that's why of course when Jesus that's why of course when Jesus that's why of course when Jesus addresses uh the question of money he addresses uh the question of money he addresses uh the question of money he uses words like you will love the one uses words like you will love the one uses words like you will love the one and hate the other these are not words and hate the other these are not words and hate the other these are not words of Economics these are words of of Economics these are words of of Economics these are words of emotional attachment and so he emotional attachment and so he emotional attachment and so he recognizes that we need to be able to recognizes that we need to be able to recognizes that we need to be able to stand freed from the you know the the stand freed from the you know the the stand freed from the you know the the greed and the rapacious um desires that greed and the rapacious um desires that greed and the rapacious um desires that money brings to all of us I mean I've money brings to all of us I mean I've money brings to all of us I mean I've seen greedy billionaires um and the most seen greedy billionaires um and the most seen greedy billionaires um and the most amazingly generous billionaires I've amazingly generous billionaires I've amazingly generous billionaires I've seen greedy students and the most seen greedy students and the most seen greedy students and the most amazingly generous young students I it amazingly generous young students I it amazingly generous young students I it you it just cuts across um the attitude you it just cuts across um the attitude you it just cuts across um the attitude to to finance and to money and of course to to finance and to money and of course to to finance and to money and of course the Love of Money causes the Love of Money causes the Love of Money causes trouble I want to go back to points two trouble I want to go back to points two trouble I want to go back to points two and three for a minute or at least point and three for a minute or at least point and three for a minute or at least point two so point two I think what you're two so point two I think what you're two so point two I think what you're saying there if I heard you right is saying there if I heard you right is saying there if I heard you right is small deposits over time small deposits small deposits over time small deposits small deposits over time small deposits over time it isn't like one day you wake over time it isn't like one day you wake over time it isn't like one day you wake up and it's like whoa there's all this up and it's like whoa there's all this up and it's like whoa there's all this money in my account right it just money in my account right it just money in my account right it just doesn't happen that way and something doesn't happen that way and something doesn't happen that way and something like Warren Buffett if you look at him like Warren Buffett if you look at him like Warren Buffett if you look at him value investor made most of his fortune value investor made most of his fortune value investor made most of his fortune after the age of 65 simply through after the age of 65 simply through after the age of 65 simply through compounding you read people like Morgan compounding you read people like Morgan compounding you read people like Morgan housel or Scott Galloway and many others housel or Scott Galloway and many others housel or Scott Galloway and many others who talk about compound interest as the

who talk about compound interest as the who talk about compound interest as the Eighth Wonder in the world and yet a lot Eighth Wonder in the world and yet a lot Eighth Wonder in the world and yet a lot of people don't really understand of people don't really understand of people don't really understand compound interest so for the leader compound interest so for the leader compound interest so for the leader who's putting away $50 a week you know who's putting away $50 a week you know who's putting away $50 a week you know or $100 a month or something like that or $100 a month or something like that or $100 a month or something like that who thinks this isn't amounting to a who thinks this isn't amounting to a who thinks this isn't amounting to a hill of beans can you can you just give hill of beans can you can you just give hill of beans can you can you just give us a a quick short tutorial in the power us a a quick short tutorial in the power us a a quick short tutorial in the power of compound interest in what happens of compound interest in what happens of compound interest in what happens over over over time time time well the the the great thing about well the the the great thing about well the the the great thing about compounding is to avoid big losses compounding is to avoid big losses compounding is to avoid big losses that therefore means that you're going that therefore means that you're going that therefore means that you're going to do things that are relatively to do things that are relatively to do things that are relatively boring the problem with the age is that boring the problem with the age is that boring the problem with the age is that the any number of Chats on bitcoin is the any number of Chats on bitcoin is the any number of Chats on bitcoin is going to $200,000 um you know you can make a $200,000 um you know you can make a quick Buck here or a quick Buck there quick Buck here or a quick Buck there quick Buck here or a quick Buck there the essence of compounding is that it's the essence of compounding is that it's the essence of compounding is that it's not that that mindset will just bring not that that mindset will just bring not that that mindset will just bring trouble the essence of compounding is trouble the essence of compounding is trouble the essence of compounding is that it is a consistent and a lower risk that it is a consistent and a lower risk that it is a consistent and a lower risk return but it continues to avoid the uh return but it continues to avoid the uh return but it continues to avoid the uh the losses and therefore the the the losses and therefore the the the losses and therefore the the investment over a period of time of $50 investment over a period of time of $50 investment over a period of time of $50 a month or $100 a month is the wisest a month or $100 a month is the wisest a month or $100 a month is the wisest thing that you could be doing rather thing that you could be doing rather thing that you could be doing rather than trying to spike it to try and find than trying to spike it to try and find than trying to spike it to try and find um a higher return in some more um a higher return in some more um a higher return in some more speculative uh activity and then don't speculative uh activity and then don't speculative uh activity and then don't fiddle the worst thing is is when people fiddle the worst thing is is when people fiddle the worst thing is is when people start fiddling they sort of oh gosh you

watched what's happened particularly watched what's happened particularly since Co is you know to inflation and since Co is you know to inflation and since Co is you know to inflation and the housing market are we moving back to the housing market are we moving back to the housing market are we moving back to a feudal society where a few people are a feudal society where a few people are a feudal society where a few people are going to own everything and everybody going to own everything and everybody going to own everything and everybody else rents or what do you see happening else rents or what do you see happening else rents or what do you see happening in the macro economy with that and then in the macro economy with that and then in the macro economy with that and then I want to get back into the I want to get back into the I want to get back into the transfer well the interesting I mean I transfer well the interesting I mean I transfer well the interesting I mean I think look I I think that uh there are think look I I think that uh there are think look I I think that uh there are significant changes that we cannot judge significant changes that we cannot judge significant changes that we cannot judge we do not know what the what the tech we do not know what the what the tech we do not know what the what the tech Revolution will bring about we have no Revolution will bring about we have no Revolution will bring about we have no idea of uh of what blockchain or idea of uh of what blockchain or idea of uh of what blockchain or artificial intelligence or Quantum artificial intelligence or Quantum artificial intelligence or Quantum Computing is going to do to change now Computing is going to do to change now Computing is going to do to change now the reason why that's important is the reason why that's important is the reason why that's important is because a generation that is much more because a generation that is much more because a generation that is much more Savvy in its technology can accumulate Savvy in its technology can accumulate Savvy in its technology can accumulate Capital At a rate far more than just the Capital At a rate far more than just the Capital At a rate far more than just the mere accumulation of a previous mere accumulation of a previous mere accumulation of a previous generation who are you know so you your generation who are you know so you your generation who are you know so you your billionaires can rise because they are billionaires can rise because they are billionaires can rise because they are doing cat GPT for example human who doing cat GPT for example human who doing cat GPT for example human who knows how many billion that's worth so I knows how many billion that's worth so I knows how many billion that's worth so I I mean it's a new open playing field so I mean it's a new open playing field so I mean it's a new open playing field so we need to be careful before we think it we need to be careful before we think it we need to be careful before we think it becomes too rigid that only those that becomes too rigid that only those that becomes too rigid that only those that inherit un of course when you ask the inherit un of course when you ask the inherit un of course when you ask the question where does where do the new question where does where do the new question where does where do the new billionaires come from answer Mom and billionaires come from answer Mom and billionaires come from answer Mom and Dad inheritance is actually creating the Dad inheritance is actually creating the Dad inheritance is actually creating the new class of billionaires but that will new class of billionaires but that will new class of billionaires but that will take that'll be for the moment because take that'll be for the moment because take that'll be for the moment because it's still a legacy soon after this we it's still a legacy soon after this we it's still a legacy soon after this we will see a growth uh in um will see a growth uh in um will see a growth uh in um in the number of people who have in the number of people who have in the number of people who have discovered new technologies uh new ways

they can take the money and just do what they can take the money and just do what they want they want to do well with they want they want to do well with they want they want to do well with their their their money uh and that generation is you know money uh and that generation is you know money uh and that generation is you know it was attributed to Churchill I think it was attributed to Churchill I think it was attributed to Churchill I think wrongly that if you're not a socialist wrongly that if you're not a socialist wrongly that if you're not a socialist at 20 you have no heart and if you're a at 20 you have no heart and if you're a at 20 you have no heart and if you're a socialist at 40 you have no head I think socialist at 40 you have no head I think socialist at 40 you have no head I think that what is now happening is that the that what is now happening is that the that what is now happening is that the the the the genz and the the Millennials the the the genz and the the Millennials the the the genz and the the Millennials will be at the end of this decade in the will be at the end of this decade in the will be at the end of this decade in the majority of all public um of the key uh majority of all public um of the key uh majority of all public um of the key uh uh officers in the sea sues of major uh officers in the sea sues of major uh officers in the sea sues of major corporations and in the churches um and corporations and in the churches um and corporations and in the churches um and said and they have they're still said and they have they're still said and they have they're still committed this is a thing they haven't committed this is a thing they haven't committed this is a thing they haven't changed they are still committed to that changed they are still committed to that changed they are still committed to that agenda so I think that this generation agenda so I think that this generation agenda so I think that this generation is prophetic I think they are they is prophetic I think they are they is prophetic I think they are they really are wanting to do well but to do really are wanting to do well but to do really are wanting to do well but to do good as well and that IE has shifted good as well and that IE has shifted good as well and that IE has shifted most people say this is still the ey you most people say this is still the ey you most people say this is still the ey you know the iPhone the iPad everything know the iPhone the iPad everything know the iPhone the iPad everything begins with ey I don't think that's true begins with ey I don't think that's true begins with ey I don't think that's true I think you know do you not perceive it I think you know do you not perceive it I think you know do you not perceive it do you not perceive that the ey is do you not perceive that the ey is do you not perceive that the ey is moving to the where to the Wii and that moving to the where to the Wii and that moving to the where to the Wii and that in part is the danger because the way I in part is the danger because the way I in part is the danger because the way I put it is this we need the hindsight of put it is this we need the hindsight of put it is this we need the hindsight of the Boomers that's my Our Generation My the Boomers that's my Our Generation My the Boomers that's my Our Generation My Generation but we need the Insight of Generation but we need the Insight of Generation but we need the Insight of the the Zoomers which is the lack of the the Zoomers which is the lack of the the Zoomers which is the lack of fear for the future the technological fear for the future the technological fear for the future the technological enablement to create the enablement to create the enablement to create the foresight that'll preach hindsight foresight that'll preach hindsight foresight that'll preach hindsight Insight Insight Insight foresight the purpose of the

do is what I what the rest of the book do is what I what the rest of the book the solution that I offer for the 100 the solution that I offer for the 100 the solution that I offer for the 100 million trillion transfer is is the million trillion transfer is is the million trillion transfer is is the little word two words called Co um they little word two words called Co um they little word two words called Co um they just two two two letters Co now you know just two two two letters Co now you know just two two two letters Co now you know about co-investing co-- living co-work about co-investing co-- living co-work about co-investing co-- living co-work um but what we need we haven't had a um but what we need we haven't had a um but what we need we haven't had a philosophical um coming together what I philosophical um coming together what I philosophical um coming together what I call C- Destiny and co- Destiny is where call C- Destiny and co- Destiny is where call C- Destiny and co- Destiny is where the generations instead of becoming The the generations instead of becoming The the generations instead of becoming The Clash of generations becomes the the Clash of generations becomes the the Clash of generations becomes the the cooperation of the generations such that cooperation of the generations such that cooperation of the generations such that we work together at the common destiny we work together at the common destiny we work together at the common destiny that we have uh on this planet and that that we have uh on this planet and that that we have uh on this planet and that piece is again that I think it'll be piece is again that I think it'll be piece is again that I think it'll be happening in every Church there will be happening in every Church there will be happening in every Church there will be either the UN you know the unarticulated either the UN you know the unarticulated either the UN you know the unarticulated or the articulated Rumblings of the or the articulated Rumblings of the or the articulated Rumblings of the different Generations oh we the different Generations oh we the different Generations oh we the Millennials don't want to go to church Millennials don't want to go to church Millennials don't want to go to church they don't want to they're leaving the they don't want to they're leaving the they don't want to they're leaving the church we we can't reach the Millennials church we we can't reach the Millennials church we we can't reach the Millennials oh so the older generation they don't oh so the older generation they don't oh so the older generation they don't know what it's like to be sort of know what it's like to be sort of know what it's like to be sort of committed and they just want everything committed and they just want everything committed and they just want everything goes and it's my Truth Versus real truth goes and it's my Truth Versus real truth goes and it's my Truth Versus real truth I mean you know the you you know the I mean you know the you you know the I mean you know the you you know the caricature but we have got a common a caricature but we have got a common a caricature but we have got a common a co- destiny that we need to work co- destiny that we need to work co- destiny that we need to work together together together um and how you know and that's what we um and how you know and that's what we um and how you know and that's what we need to explore is to how we do that need to explore is to how we do that need to explore is to how we do that yeah and I guess that's my question that yeah and I guess that's my question that yeah and I guess that's my question that goes back to the third point you raised goes back to the third point you raised goes back to the third point you raised at the very beginning which how at the very beginning which how at the very beginning which how important it is to have someone to talk important it is to have someone to talk important it is to have someone to talk to about how to handle money and I got to about how to handle money and I got to about how to handle money and I got to say as a young adult that was to say as a young adult that was to say as a young adult that was something I tried to get all through my

something I tried to get all through my something I tried to get all through my 30s but didn't 30s but didn't 30s but didn't really discover the right formula the really discover the right formula the really discover the right formula the right people until my 40s and honestly right people until my 40s and honestly right people until my 40s and honestly once I got an opportunity to talk to once I got an opportunity to talk to once I got an opportunity to talk to somebody who understood money who who somebody who understood money who who somebody who understood money who who understood my priorities my values it understood my priorities my values it understood my priorities my values it got so much easier so when you think got so much easier so when you think got so much easier so when you think about um the co- Destiny and actually about um the co- Destiny and actually about um the co- Destiny and actually Generations working together how would Generations working together how would Generations working together how would you set that up does that because I mean you set that up does that because I mean you set that up does that because I mean once the once the transfer has been made once the once the transfer has been made once the once the transfer has been made is that something the next generation's is that something the next generation's is that something the next generation's going to be looking for how would you going to be looking for how would you going to be looking for how would you Foster that sure well that's a key Foster that sure well that's a key Foster that sure well that's a key question and it's a very important one question and it's a very important one question and it's a very important one uh so so what I'd say is this is for Our uh so so what I'd say is this is for Our uh so so what I'd say is this is for Our Generation uh it it needs to have Generation uh it it needs to have Generation uh it it needs to have finding opportunities both to coach to finding opportunities both to coach to finding opportunities both to coach to mentor to invest to work mentor to invest to work mentor to invest to work alongside um the Next Generation the alongside um the Next Generation the alongside um the Next Generation the Boomers they're all looking for new new Boomers they're all looking for new new Boomers they're all looking for new new apps new ways of uh of of investing new apps new ways of uh of of investing new apps new ways of uh of of investing new ways of dis ways of dis ways of dis intermediating uh the existing um uh intermediating uh the existing um uh intermediating uh the existing um uh structures of of the economy but they structures of of the economy but they structures of of the economy but they need the wisdom of an older generation need the wisdom of an older generation need the wisdom of an older generation so my first thing is to the older so my first thing is to the older so my first thing is to the older persons say Seek out the opportunities persons say Seek out the opportunities persons say Seek out the opportunities where the guys particularly those that where the guys particularly those that where the guys particularly those that are starting up businesses it it's also are starting up businesses it it's also are starting up businesses it it's also true of course to those who are in paid true of course to those who are in paid true of course to those who are in paid employment without the you know the employment without the you know the employment without the you know the startups but but but but concentrating startups but but but but concentrating startups but but but but concentrating on that on the other side of it it is

on that on the other side of it it is on that on the other side of it it is that for the Zoomers to recognize that that for the Zoomers to recognize that that for the Zoomers to recognize that there is something that can be gained by there is something that can be gained by there is something that can be gained by them working together with and them working together with and them working together with and co-investing I I see no reason why co-investing I I see no reason why co-investing I I see no reason why churches wouldn't be able to be able to churches wouldn't be able to be able to churches wouldn't be able to be able to organize those things where people are organize those things where people are organize those things where people are retiring when they 60 or 70 and are retiring when they 60 or 70 and are retiring when they 60 or 70 and are perfectly capable of another 10 15 years perfectly capable of another 10 15 years perfectly capable of another 10 15 years of useful Life Society just sort of of useful Life Society just sort of of useful Life Society just sort of turns them out the church could get turns them out the church could get turns them out the church could get around those and say look we'd like you around those and say look we'd like you around those and say look we'd like you to Mentor You' been an accountant Mentor to Mentor You' been an accountant Mentor to Mentor You' been an accountant Mentor these younger guys help them in their these younger guys help them in their these younger guys help them in their finances so you can be much more active finances so you can be much more active finances so you can be much more active um in the pulling together of the co um in the pulling together of the co um in the pulling together of the co Destinies that that we would have and Destinies that that we would have and Destinies that that we would have and then I think particularly for the then I think particularly for the then I think particularly for the Boomers it has to be uh to recognize Boomers it has to be uh to recognize Boomers it has to be uh to recognize that this generation has got a serious that this generation has got a serious that this generation has got a serious um way of wanting to govern the future um way of wanting to govern the future um way of wanting to govern the future to view the future um when we need to to view the future um when we need to to view the future um when we need to respect them and and not just think of respect them and and not just think of respect them and and not just think of of being an entitled group of uh of of of being an entitled group of uh of of of being an entitled group of uh of of of uh of spoiled a spoiled generation of uh of spoiled a spoiled generation of uh of spoiled a spoiled generation but a real but a real but a real generation uh that actually is asking generation uh that actually is asking generation uh that actually is asking some seriously important questions of some seriously important questions of some seriously important questions of the future of humanity and once we treat the future of humanity and once we treat the future of humanity and once we treat them with that respect I think we begin them with that respect I think we begin them with that respect I think we begin to get the co- Destiny working together to get the co- Destiny working together to get the co- Destiny working together which is why I think it's so critical uh which is why I think it's so critical uh which is why I think it's so critical uh in the churches and therefore the in the churches and therefore the in the churches and therefore the hundred trillion dollar transfer is not hundred trillion dollar transfer is not hundred trillion dollar transfer is not just an academic book for Bankers it's
-
just an academic book for Bankers it's just an academic book for Bankers it's it really does cut across every piece of it really does cut across every piece of it really does cut across every piece of our our our society when you think about all the society when you think about all the society when you think about all the money that is going to be transferred money that is going to be transferred money that is going to be transferred from one generation to the next to what from one generation to the next to what from one generation to the next to what extent are boomers and even Gen X who extent are boomers and even Gen X who extent are boomers and even Gen X who are now you know pushing 60 on the front are now you know pushing 60 on the front are now you know pushing 60 on the front end to what extent are they remembering end to what extent are they remembering end to what extent are they remembering the kingdom or churches in their estate the kingdom or churches in their estate the kingdom or churches in their estate planning do you have any stats on that planning do you have any stats on that planning do you have any stats on that or is it pretty much all just going to or is it pretty much all just going to or is it pretty much all just going to the the the kids I don't and I I and a lot of it kids I don't and I I and a lot of it kids I don't and I I and a lot of it will depend on the way in which they will depend on the way in which they will depend on the way in which they were brought up yeah um so that those were brought up yeah um so that those were brought up yeah um so that those that those that have been generous that those that have been generous that those that have been generous whilst they were alive paying their whilst they were alive paying their whilst they were alive paying their tithes their contributions to the tithes their contributions to the tithes their contributions to the churches bind LS feel that they would churches bind LS feel that they would churches bind LS feel that they would have done what their generation should have done what their generation should have done what their generation should have done and that the Next Generation have done and that the Next Generation have done and that the Next Generation should take on the growth of of of the should take on the growth of of of the should take on the growth of of of the of the churches in the communities in of the churches in the communities in of the churches in the communities in which they're which they're which they're operating um but I think that uh that I operating um but I think that uh that I operating um but I think that uh that I mean I don't have the statistics to to mean I don't have the statistics to to mean I don't have the statistics to to see whether the legacies are that they see whether the legacies are that they see whether the legacies are that they would want to do that um that's would want to do that um that's would want to do that um that's something to to think through my my something to to think through my my something to to think through my my sense is that that's not happening for sense is that that's not happening for sense is that that's not happening for the most part it used to happen like I the most part it used to happen like I the most part it used to happen like I grew up Mainline and and that was very grew up Mainline and and that was very grew up Mainline and and that was very typical in declining Mainline churches I typical in declining Mainline churches I typical in declining Mainline churches I don't see it as typical in Evangelical don't see it as typical in Evangelical don't see it as typical in Evangelical growing non- denominational churches I growing non- denominational churches I growing non- denominational churches I don't no that's partly because it's a
-
don't no that's partly because it's a don't no that's partly because it's a view that the Next Generation should be view that the Next Generation should be view that the Next Generation should be the ones after all they're going to have the ones after all they're going to have the ones after all they're going to have the Legacy of the finances they should the Legacy of the finances they should the Legacy of the finances they should be the ones that actually support the be the ones that actually support the be the ones that actually support the communities in the churches that where communities in the churches that where communities in the churches that where they where they feel comfortable so it's they where they feel comfortable so it's they where they feel comfortable so it's a in a sense there is an altruism to it a in a sense there is an altruism to it a in a sense there is an altruism to it which says you know you are going to which says you know you are going to which says you know you are going to benefit from this transfer but you need benefit from this transfer but you need benefit from this transfer but you need to be responsible for the churches in to be responsible for the churches in to be responsible for the churches in which you are operating and the which you are operating and the which you are operating and the communities that you want strengthened I communities that you want strengthened I communities that you want strengthened I think the one exception I see to that is think the one exception I see to that is think the one exception I see to that is uh Donor advised funds or family trusts uh Donor advised funds or family trusts uh Donor advised funds or family trusts that that are being set up particularly that that are being set up particularly that that are being set up particularly in the United States and a donor advise in the United States and a donor advise in the United States and a donor advise fund money just goes there you get the fund money just goes there you get the fund money just goes there you get the tax right off and then it gets um tax right off and then it gets um tax right off and then it gets um distributed often to charities in distributed often to charities in distributed often to charities in different points but this whole idea different points but this whole idea different points but this whole idea that I'm going to leave you know half a that I'm going to leave you know half a that I'm going to leave you know half a million or a million dollars to church million or a million dollars to church million or a million dollars to church act I don't see as much as as part of act I don't see as much as as part of act I don't see as much as as part of that any other thoughts on um what that any other thoughts on um what that any other thoughts on um what churches can do to help people get ready churches can do to help people get ready churches can do to help people get ready for this massive transfer in the next for this massive transfer in the next for this massive transfer in the next decade well I think the first thing to decade well I think the first thing to decade well I think the first thing to recognize it's already happening um and recognize it's already happening um and recognize it's already happening um and so this is not some some far off event so this is not some some far off event so this is not some some far off event and therefore there are two sides to it and therefore there are two sides to it and therefore there are two sides to it one is the um the boomer generation all one is the um the boomer generation all one is the um the boomer generation all of whom are thinking these very thoughts of whom are thinking these very thoughts of whom are thinking these very thoughts um you know what do we leave to the um you know what do we leave to the um you know what do we leave to the children do we leave it in a trust do we children do we leave it in a trust do we children do we leave it in a trust do we control it do we give it to them now do control it do we give it to them now do control it do we give it to them now do we wait Etc so all of that is a we wait Etc so all of that is a we wait Etc so all of that is a discussion probably amongst the group of

Summary
The discussion centers on the unprecedented $100 trillion wealth transfer from the Boomer generation to Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. This massive handover is significant not only for its sheer scale due to factors like asset inflation but also because it represents a transfer of power alongside wealth. The takeaway is that this event will fundamentally revolutionize capitalism and carries profound implications for those inheriting this wealth.
