Retirement & Righteousness: Preparing for the Future with Faith with Haneda Latese Garner

In this episode of Yahweh’s Money, we’re talking real faith, real planning, and real peace. 

I sit down with my lifelong friend, Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Haneda Latese Garner, founder of HLG Resources and HG Travels, to talk about what it means to prepare for the future with faith as the foundation.

From serving in combat zones to launching her own consulting and travel companies, Latese shares the lessons she’s learned about stewardship, balance, and trusting God through every season. Together, we explore how spiritual growth and financial planning go hand in hand, and why retirement is not an end—but an evolution of purpose.

You’ll discover: 

• The Balance of Faith & Finances – How to trust God’s plan while saving diligently and making smart, spirit-led decisions.
• Investing in Yourself – Why spiritual rest, reflection, and self-care are just as vital as 401(k)s and real estate portfolios.
• From Military to Mission-Driven – How Latese transitioned from 20 years of Army service to entrepreneurship and community leadership.
• Overcoming Fear with Faith – Practical steps to replace financial anxiety with wisdom, prayer, and planning.
• Purpose Beyond the Paycheck – How redefining “work” opens the door to peace, growth, and God-aligned living.

Featured Scripture:

Jeremiah 29:11 — “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Action Step:

This week, take time to assess your next season. Review your finances, pray over your goals, and ask God to reveal one change you can make today to better prepare for tomorrow—with diligence, discipline, and divine trust.
