The short version: Faith & Finance with Rob West is the daily show, and its lineage runs back to Larry Burkett in 1988. The Ramsey Show is the largest by a wide margin. Faith Driven Investor is the one genuinely about investing rather than personal finance. And several shows that turn up on every list — including both Eventide podcasts — are dormant or dead.
I checked every feed in this article directly rather than trusting directories, because the directories are badly out of date. Episode counts and dates below are as of 29 July 2026.
The daily show, and its unusually long lineage
Faith & Finance, hosted by Rob West, is the anchor of this category, and its history is worth knowing because it explains why it sounds more established than everything around it.
In 1988 Larry Burkett launched a thirty-minute program called Money Matters with co-host Steve Moore, eventually carried on more than a thousand stations. Burkett died in 2003. Howard Dayton took over as host in 2004, and the show was retitled MoneyWise in 2011 under Dayton’s Compass ministry. Kingdom Advisors acquired the broadcast in 2017. On 2 January 2023 it became Faith & Finance.
That is a single continuous program with 38 years of history, which is not something else in Christian media can claim. It now reaches over a million radio and podcast listeners daily across more than 2,000 radio outlets.
There are three feeds carrying the same daily content in different cuts:
| Feed | Publisher | Cadence | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Faith & Finance | FaithFi | Weekdays | ~25 minutes |
| Faith & Finance Live | Moody Radio | Weekdays | ~42 minutes |
| Faith & Finance on American Family Radio | AFA | Weekdays | ~54 minutes |
Pick one. The 25-minute FaithFi cut is the efficient version; the longer ones include more listener calls, which is where the show is at its best. Episode #990 published on 29 July 2026. The call-in line is 800-525-7000.
Rob West is CEO of both FaithFi and Kingdom Advisors; Sharon Epps is president. Underwriters include Eventide, Timothy Plan, Praxis, GuideStone, OneAscent, and Sound Mind Investing — which is worth knowing when fund recommendations come up, and to the show’s credit it discloses them.
One search trap: “MoneyWise” as a live show no longer exists. The shows now carrying that name on Apple belong to unrelated companies, and “The Moneywise Guys” is a Bakersfield radio program. Searching the old name will not find this show.
The Ramsey shows
The Ramsey Show began in June 1992 on WTN in Nashville as The Money Game, with Ramsey alongside an insurance agent and a realtor. It became The Dave Ramsey Show in 1999 and The Ramsey Show in 2020. It runs three hours, weekdays 2:00 to 5:00 PM Eastern, on over 600 stations.
Ramsey’s published reach figures are large and slightly inconsistent — the show page says over 18 million combined weekly listeners while the personalities page says 20 million, and their own pages disagree about how many bestsellers Dave has written. Treat any single number cautiously.
The current roster is Dave Ramsey, Rachel Cruze, George Kamel, Jade Warshaw, and Dr. John Delony. Ken Coleman is no longer a Ramsey Personality — his departure was announced on 27 April 2026 after twelve years, so lists naming him are out of date.
Two related feeds are more practical than the main show. The Ramsey Show Highlights publishes twice daily at about nine minutes an episode, which is the right format if three hours of call-in radio is more than you want. Smart Money Happy Hour with Cruze and Kamel runs weekly on Thursdays and is lighter.
A caveat worth holding: the Ramsey framework is excellent on debt and behaviour and weaker on investing specifics. Its published return assumptions run above the long-run historical figure, which our guide to Christian investment calculators examines in detail.
Actually about investing
Faith Driven Investor is the only well-produced show in this category focused on investing rather than household budgeting. Episode 227 published on 20 July 2026, running about 41 minutes.
Two corrections to what most lists say. The credited hosts are now John Coleman and Luke Roush, not Henry Kaestner — Kaestner co-hosted the first episode in July 2019 and remains a founder, but he is not the current host. And the cadence is now biweekly rather than weekly. The recurring “Marks on the Market” segment is the most useful part if you follow markets.
Its sibling, Faith Driven Entrepreneur, runs weekly on Tuesdays and reached episode 385 on 28 July 2026 — more prolific, and aimed at operators rather than allocators.
Smaller shows worth a subscription
| Show | Host | State |
|---|---|---|
| The Stewardology Podcast | Tim Russell, CFP® and Pastor Drew Gysi | Episode #305, 28 July 2026; weekly, ~41 min |
| SeedTime | Bob & Linda Lotich | 400 episodes, active |
| The Catholic Money Show | Jonathan & Amanda Teixeira | 365 episodes since 2018, ~31 min, active |
| Christian Financial Perspectives | Bob Barber, CKA® and Shawn Peters | Episode #246; cadence has slowed to roughly monthly |
| Compass Financial Ministry | Taught by Trevor Naidoo | New, 20 episodes since March 2025; irregular |
The Stewardology Podcast is the most consistent of these — a financial planner and a pastor working through topics together, which produces better theology than a planner alone and better practice than a pastor alone. The Catholic Money Show is the strongest Catholic entry by a distance.
Shows that are dead, dormant, or not what you think
This section exists because every other list gets these wrong.
- Eventide has no active podcast. Two feeds exist and both are dormant — “Invest by Design” last published in August 2023 with four episodes, and the Eventide Center for Faith & Investing’s “The Faith and Investing Podcast” last published in December 2024. The Center’s live products are its journal and its courses, not a show.
- Inspire Investing has no podcast at all. Robert Netzly appears as a guest on other people’s shows; there is no Inspire show.
- Kingdom Advisors has no active podcast. Its old feed has one episode, last touched in 2009.
- Sound Retirement Radio is not a Christian show. It is a competent retirement program from a fee-only adviser in Washington, with no faith content anywhere in it. It appears on Christian podcast lists constantly and does not belong there.
- The “Rich Habits Podcast” is secular. Fine show, wrong list.
- Faith & Retirement from Faith Investor Services has 107 episodes but has been quiet since March 2026.
Where to start, depending on what you want
The lists in this category are undifferentiated, so here is an opinionated version.
- If you are getting out of debt: The Ramsey Show Highlights. Nine-minute episodes, relentless on behaviour, and the call-in format means you hear people at every stage of the same problem. Our guide to a biblical approach to debt covers where the framework is strongest.
- If you want a daily habit: Faith & Finance, the 25-minute FaithFi cut. It is the only show in this space that publishes every weekday with consistent production quality.
- If you actually want to think about capital: Faith Driven Investor. Biweekly, longer-form, and the only show interviewing fund managers and allocators rather than answering household budget questions.
- If you want theology alongside the practice: The Stewardology Podcast, where a CFP® and a pastor work through topics together.
- If you are Catholic: The Catholic Money Show, which has been running since 2018 and treats Catholic social teaching as a serious input rather than a footnote.
What none of these will do is tell you what to buy. The daily shows take listener questions and answer at the level of principle, because the hosts cannot see your tax situation, your employer plan menu, or your marriage. That is a feature of the format, not a shortcoming — but it means the podcast is where you build understanding, not where you make decisions.
How to listen without outsourcing your judgment
Financial media is advice delivered by people who cannot see your situation, which is a structural limitation rather than a criticism. Proverbs is enthusiastic about counsel and specific about its plurality: “For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers” (Proverbs 11:14). Many advisers. A single voice you trust completely is the failure mode the proverb is warning against, and podcasts are unusually good at producing exactly that kind of loyalty.
Paul’s instruction to the Thessalonians is the right posture: “Test them all; hold on to what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). Testing means noticing when a host has a commercial interest in the conclusion, when a return assumption is above what history supports, and when a confident answer depends on facts about your life the host does not have.
Three specific things to hold loosely from any show: return projections, blanket rules about debt that ignore interest rates, and product recommendations from a program the product’s issuer underwrites. None of those make a show untrustworthy. They make it a source among several.
Our guides to Christian investing books and finding a Christian financial advisor cover the other two places people get counsel, and Christian finance conferences covers meeting people in person.
