In this episode, Ron Blue (founder of Blue & Co., Blue Trust, National Christian Foundation, Kingdom Advisors, and the Ron Blue Institute) walks through his journey from Wall Street accountant to faith-driven financial leader. He shares pivotal moments—becoming a Christian, choosing mission over money, building organizations designed to outlast their founders, and the practical financial planning that enabled huge generosity. Ron explains why stewardship starts with the question “Who owns it?” and how biblical financial principles produce better giving, stronger succession planning, and healthier churches.
