Kingdom Over Turf - 005 - Pastors Don’t Talk About This Often

In this episode, Mission Strategist, Chris Reinolds, sits down with Rick Wheeler of Florida Baptist Financial Services for an honest, practical, and deeply encouraging conversation about money, ministry, leadership, and the future of the Church.

We talk about:
• Why pastors often avoid financial conversations
• The 3% giving reality in America
• Retirement mistakes hurting ministry leaders
• Why generosity is a discipleship issue
• How churches can plan long-term instead of just surviving Sunday
• The largest wealth transfer in history and what it means for the Church
• Ego, leadership maturity, and spiritual formation
• The future of kingdom funding

Rick shares personal stories from banking to seminary to leading a statewide financial ministry, and how God used every season to prepare him for this role.

If you’re a pastor, church leader, associational leader, or someone who wants to see the Church flourish for generations to come, this conversation will both challenge and encourage you.
