As a pastor and counselor, I’ve spent years helping men navigate life, faith, and leadership. But when it comes to finances, many of us are unprepared—shamed, misinformed, or just unaware of how to step into true prosperity. In this episode of the BraveCo podcast, we kick off our wealth and prosperity series with Chad Frantzen, founder of Wealthbuilders, who shares his journey from trading time for money to mastering financial freedom. Together, we explore practical steps, biblical principles, and mindset shifts every man needs to build a legacy for his family and the kingdom.
Chad dives deep into the difference between exchanging time for money versus value for money, breaking poverty mindsets, and creating multiple streams of income. We discuss how to create simple, effective financial plans, the power of leveraging assets, and how small, consistent steps can lead to big results. I also share personal stories from my own journey, including how I faced financial reckoning, the importance of mentorship, and the practical strategies my wife and I used to scale our income and impact.
If you’re ready to stop running on autopilot and start stewarding what God has entrusted to you, this episode is for you. We talk about intellectual property, investing with kingdom values, cultivating humility, and teaching our children the principles of stewardship and delayed gratification. No matter where you are in your financial journey, there’s a next step you can take today to build tomorrow. Join us as we uncover the mindset, habits, and strategies that set wise men apart from the average guy.
