On a recent hiking trip, Wade noticed how Moses, his Cavapoo, darted after every squirrel, bird, and chipmunk along the trail. It was funny to watch, but it also reminded him of how investors behave when chasing the latest “hot” trend. Many of us have been tempted by tech stocks, crypto, and gold, only to jump in at the wrong time and drain our savings and sanity in the process. In this episode, Wade draws parallels between Moses’ squirrel-chasing and investor habits, contrasting that with the calm, steady retrievers who stick to the path.

He shares why defining your goals, staying leashed to your plan, and ignoring distractions are keys to lasting success. Plus, Wade reflects on timeless biblical wisdom about patience, diligence, and building wealth little by little. If you’ve ever been tempted by the “next big thing,” this conversation is a reminder that financial freedom isn’t about chasing squirrels; it’s about staying on the trail. Tune in to learn how to keep your plan and your future steady.

For this week’s Kingdom Minute, we’re reminded how chasing quick wins- whether it’s money, success, or the next “shiny thing”- often leaves us worn out and empty-handed. God’s Word calls us instead to steady, faithful stewardship, where wealth and wisdom are built little by little. True growth comes through patience, discipline, and walking faithfully with His plan.

 

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

🥾 Picking your trail: define goals before the journey

🐕 DOG acronym: dangers, obstacles, and gaps on the path

💡 Harness lessons: freedom within guidelines builds discipline

🌲 Enjoying the hike: wealth is about the journey, not just the destination

📖 Proverbs & Galatians: “little by little” growth is God’s way
