In today's show, host Mark Minnella and co-host Seth Udinski present end-of-year giving themes with a focus on "estate stewardship," exploring how believers can honor God with what happens to their assets after death. They discuss using tools like beneficiary designations and estate planning to possibly direct traditional IRAs to ministries, while leaving more tax-efficient assets such as real estate or taxable investment accounts to children and loved ones. Mark and Seth highlight practical ways to reduce unnecessary tax impact so more resources can support Kingdom work rather than going to the government, while still caring well for family. They also mention broader faith-based investing resources and pro-life ministry partnerships that align giving and investing with biblical convictions. Become a Financial Issues Partner today!
