Episode notes

Are you looking for tools that clarify, simplify, and anchor faithful stewardship in biblical wisdom? That question has shaped our vision for the newly updated FaithFi app—a discipleship tool designed to help you build financial rhythms that bring peace, clarity, and Christ-centered focus to your money decisions.

To help unpack what’s new, we sat down with Chad Clark, Chief Technology Officer at Kingdom Advisors and FaithFi. Chad has led the development of the FaithFi app since day one, shaping it into a tool that serves real families seeking to honor God with His resources.

When the app first launched, the goal was straightforward: build a biblical stewardship tool that was both practical and accessible. Early versions focused primarily on budgeting and cash-flow management. Over time, the app expanded to include a robust content library of articles, podcasts, and videos, along with a community discussion board—features that helped users learn and encourage one another.

This latest update is the biggest we’ve ever released, and Chad explains what guided the development:

“One of the most important questions we can ask when building technology is: How do we make it simpler for the user? Money can be complex. Budgeting software shouldn’t make it harder.”

To solve that problem, the update introduces:

Secure bank connections for importing balances and transactions
New simplified budgeting tools that make setup easy
Improved automated categorization to reduce manual work

These upgrades are designed to help users spend less time tinkering with tools and more time reflecting on the why behind their financial decisions.

One of the standout features in the new update is something we’re calling Rhythms—structured daily, weekly, and monthly check-ins that help users slow down, reflect, and respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively.

Daily rhythms pair brief transaction reviews with short devotionals and reflection questions. Weekly and monthly rhythms zoom out, helping users observe habits, cash-flow patterns, and financial goals—all with suggested adjustments and heart-level reflection prompts.

Chad notes that these rhythms are especially powerful for couples who want to cultivate greater unity and shared stewardship. With a simple weekly or monthly check-in, couples can talk, plan, pray, and adjust together.

The update also brings FaithFi content directly into the app in a more seamless and beautiful way. Faithful Steward magazine articles will now have a mobile expression, and studies and devotionals will soon follow. It’s one more way the app is becoming a true financial discipleship environment rather than just a budgeting tool.

The app now includes optional AI features—but with intentional guardrails. All AI is opt-in, self-hosted, and never sent to third-party models. The goal isn’t novelty or complexity; it’s simply to automate tedious workflows and simplify budgeting so users can focus not merely on what they’re doing with money, but why.

“The goal,” Chad says, “is to help people be attentive and obedient to what God is calling them to do with what He’s entrusted to them.”

Stewardship grows when we slow down, pay attention, and invite God into the decisions we make with His resources. The updated FaithFi app was built to help you do exactly that—establishing rhythms that encourage wisdom, gratitude, reflection, unity, and greater participation in God’s Kingdom work.

The new version is available now. Just search FaithFi in your app store, or visit FaithFi.com and click App.

I have an annuity that will mature in a year or two. It originally came from an IRA. What are my options once it matures—should I roll it into another annuity or back into an IRA?
If I have a Medigap supplemental policy, do I need both Medicare Part A and Part B, or just one of them?
I don’t understand why prices keep going up instead of stabilizing. Why does inflation happen in simple terms?
