Benjamin Franklin once said, “Work as if you were to live 100 years; pray as if you were to die tomorrow.” Chris Meikel talks with author William J. Federer on this Special Encounter about his new book “Silence Equals Consent, the Sin of Omission.” In the book, he wakes up Americans to their responsibility as citizens to help their country for themselves and posterity. We will pass this country onto our children, and we want them to inherit the freedoms that we enjoy, we have to fight for it, protect it and defend it. Federer enlightens us all on this Special Encounter on Bott Radio Network.

Bill and Dana Wichterman

It could be a challenging conversation for some of us to listen to as Chris Meikel talks with Bill and Dana Wichterman, the authors of “Stewards Not Owners, The Joy Of Aligning Your Money With Your Faith.” They talk about living generously, the conversations couples should have about money before marriage, even before engagement. Bill and Dana also discuss the dangers of money and the sanctifying role of work. But mostly, they point us to glorifying God as we manage our money for His Kingdom. That’s on this Special Encounter on Bott Radio Network.
