Uncommon Freedom

Did you know that about 50% of Americans don't have a savings account with at least $400 to cover a financial emergency?Teaching our children about finances NOW helps to form habits that can lead to a better relationship with money as adults. Plus, major decisions like buying a car,  getting that first job, or renting an apartment often all happen before the age of 25. Teens who haven't started to learn about the best ways to manage money, but need to make major purchases, are at high risk of making poor decisions that can plunge them into debt. Listen in as we talk about our approach to teaching our kids about money and what we've learned along the way!Subscribe and tell a friend!Visit bekandkev.com today.

In this two-part episode, you will hear my riveting interview with the 2020 US Coast Guard Academy Honor Grad, LTJG Alaric Stone, and an attorney from the Thomas More Society (TMS), Steve Crampton. This episode was recorded a few hours before a fundraising event that we hosted for the TMS. TMS is a public interest law firm that specializes in representing clients facing persecution for religious beliefs and other first amendment violations. LTJG Stone shares about his journey to attending college at the US Coast Guard Academy, which in itself is an incredible accomplishment. However, his accomplishments continued as Stone was the Honor Grad for the 2020 graduating class. Stone shares how his Stellar career is being jeopardized by his religious conviction to not get the COVID vaccine due to the fact that every manufacturer uses aborted fetal cell tissue in their research and/or production. Mr. Crampton shares some of the cases that he has been involved in, especially the case involving LTJG Stone. Most Americans are clueless as to the amount of targeting that is happening by our federal government and military branches against people of faith. This episode will increase your awareness and probably give you goosebumps regarding how our freedoms are being eroded. Bekah and I offered a $75,000 dollar match to raise funds for TMS, so if you can support them, we would be honored to have you join with us in supporting this incredible ministry. Helpful Links:Thomas More Society: https://thomasmoresociety.org.

In this episode, my wife Bekah and I discuss some strategies we are implementing with our kids to help steward their appreciation for money. One of our primary parenting goals is not to raise spoiled kids, which in a society full of entitlement, takes a tremendous amount of intentionality.One of the things our kids hear from us on a regular basis is this: “We aren’t trying to raise happy kids; we’re trying to raise thriving adults.” Over the past few months, we have seen a much greater appreciation of money from our kids, so we want to share this win with you. This episode will give you some ideas to use with your kids (or grandkids) to help develop their appreciation for money and to set them up for long-term Uncommon Freedom in your kids.Subscribe and tell a friend!Visit bekandkev.com today.

In this series of interviews, I have a conversation with my amazing friend Elisa Medina who is an incredible wife, mother, and impact maker. Elisa shares how the tragic and sudden death of her mother drove her to a life of drug & alcohol abuse and wild living in her teens. She fled to the northeast corner of the country to live with a family member who supported her wild living and even encouraged Elisa to get an abortion when she was confronted with an unplanned pregnancy. Elisa shares how there are no accidental parents as God used this unplanned pregnancy to pull her out of her wild life and get on a path to Uncommon Freedom®. Her father’s support and encouragement gave her the courage to keep her baby and move back to Tucson, AZ. After becoming a single mother, Elisa began working at Hands of Hope, a resource center for women facing the challenges of an unplanned or even unwanted pregnancy. She eventually became the CEO and served in that capacity until she stepped down in 2020 to be more present in her home. Elisa and her husband Fernando are currently focused on helping people thrive in their mind, body, and finances through their organization Medinas on Mission.About Elisa: Elisa Medina is the Co-Founder of Medinas on Mission along with her husband Fernando. She is a certified Health and Wellness Coach and has a passion to see people thrive in all areas of their health...body, mind, and finances. Together they have four children and three grandchildren and reside in Tucson, Arizona.Elisa spent 16 years serving in Pro-life Ministry. Most recently, she held the CEO position at Hands of Hope located in Tucson, Arizona until stepping down in 2020 to be more present in the home.She is a gifted communicator, speaker, and mentor.
