Women of Worth with Bethany Frymire

In this episode of Faith & Finance, host Rob West welcomes Bethany Freymeyer, a certified kingdom advisor with Blue Trust and author of *Women of Worth: A Faith-Based Guide to Financial Wisdom*. The conversation centers on the powerful intersection of faith, identity, and financial stewardship, particularly for women. Bethany shares her personal journey from marketing to financial advising, emphasizing how God guided her path and how her work now integrates biblical principles with financial planning. She highlights the critical need for women to build financial confidence ahead of life transitions—such as widowhood or divorce—by grounding their identity in Christ. The episode underscores that financial knowledge alone isn't enough; true confidence comes when women understand their inherent worth in God’s eyes. Bethany encourages listeners to embrace small, faithful steps forward, free from shame, and to see financial stewardship as a sacred opportunity to honor God. The discussion is followed by two listener calls addressing retirement planning and nonprofit formation, with practical advice from Rob on tax compliance and grant-seeking strategies. Key takeaways include: (1) Financial confidence begins with a biblical identity rooted in worth and purpose; (2) Small, consistent steps in stewardship build lasting wisdom and peace; (3) Shame over financial pasts is not God’s design—grace enables new beginnings; (4) Women are called to lead in financial stewardship, not just support it; (5) Practical tools like the *Women of Worth* book and Blue Trust’s resources help women integrate faith and finance. The tone is uplifting, empowering, and deeply encouraging, reflecting a strong sense of divine purpose in everyday financial decisions.
