SECURE Presented by FinFitLamont Thurston: The Role of Employer-Sponsored Health BenefitsFinFit: The Evolution of Employer-Sponsored Health BenefitsIn recent years, the landscape of employer-sponsored health benefits has undergone significant transformation. With rising healthcare costs and the increasing complexity of health insurance, employers are seeking innovative solutions to provide comprehensive benefits to their employees. A recent study revealed that the average deductible for Americans has skyrocketed, creating a mismatch between the risk exposure for consumers and their savings. So, what's the solution to bridge this gap and is there a more efficient way for employers to offer health benefits that truly cater to the needs of their employees?2023-10-1752 min

The act of faith was not needed or involved in the act of salvation.

I have to disagree, even though I fully believe that God can work all things together for good, as he did do in this case.

It was also adopted by Paul in the Corinthian church where he says ““What is the outcome then, brethren?

The church was never intended to be a club for select elites, but for those who are desperate for hope, forgiveness, and acceptance. We need to be loved, not in a lustful sensuous...2022-04-2736 min
