Managing wealth using Biblical Principles – John Moore Associates

Every day, The Heritage Foundation is building an America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil society flourish.

Heritage’s mission is to formulate and promote public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense.

Lisa Anderson is director of young adults for Focus on the Family, the world’s leading Christian organization dedicated to helping families thrive. She manages Boundless, Focus’ ministry for young adults, with the goal of helping 20- and 30-somethings grow up, own their faith, date with purpose and prepare for marriage and family.

She is driven, in part, by interacting regularly with young adults who, because of the cultural impact of divorce, fatherlessness and a Hollywood-inspired view of romance and relationships, have little idea of how to approach dating and marriage from a God-honoring perspective.

Feed New Mexico Kids Executive Director, Tracy Rodden describes the sick feeling and sadness she experienced as a child when she had to go days without food. She directs our thoughts to school aged children 5-18 years of age who are food insecure, and she challenges our listeners to think about the lives of these students, and how they will grow up if we help them now!  Feed New Mexico Kids is a non-profit organization providing food for children on the weekends. Many school Districts around the country provide breakfast and lunch for students during the school week, but many students have nothing to eat on the weekends!  Tracy explains how easy it is for churches and businesses to “adopt” a neighborhood school and help provide food for children on the weekends.
