INVEST2FIEpisode 236 - From Banker to Real Estate Pro: How Nathan Robbins Built Wealth Through Wholesaling, Flipping, and Airbnb InvestingWhat if one leap of faith could change your life forever? In this episode of Invest2FI, Nathan Robbins shares how he left a $75,000 banking job and stepped into the world of real estate with no formal experience—only determination and a 90-day contract offer from investor Tarl Yarber. He explains how that decision led him to work on over 30 to 40 flips per year in the Seattle-Tacoma market and eventually build his own investment portfolio. Nathan breaks down the numbers and strategy behind his first solo deal: a $185,000 purchase that he renovated with $60,000, refinanced, and lat...2025-04-1655 min

But Paul challenges the church in Philippi to focus on the positive, to push beyond distractions, and to find joy in all situations. The healed leper who returns to Jesus in Luke's gospel reminds us that a willingness to say thank you starts with a recognition of who we are without Christ, and what a difference He makes in our lives.The sermon today is titled "I Am Thankful."

Hear the sweet voice of Jesus say "I will never leave you, nor forsake you." Hear the words of the apostle whom Jesus loved as he writes "so that you may know that you have eternal life." Rest assured that not only in the space between prayers of confession, but at every moment of your walk as a struggling, imperfect, but trusting follower of Jesus, you have a righteousness that is not your own--but one given through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. Sleep well knowing your father sees you not...2022-11-1627 minLife on the West SideWhy Christianity Has AppearancesThe New Testament doesn’t put a lot of emphasis on the “empty tomb.” In fact, that only led to fear and panic. The fact that Jesus rose bodily from the dead–leaving behind an empty tomb–is true and crucial for the Christian story. Indeed, it is necessary for any true encounter with a risen Lord. But it wasn’t the empty tomb that produced hope in the heart of believers; it was their encounter with the risen Christ. The sight of the empty tomb brought fear and panic; but visions or appearances of Jesus brought hope and joy...2022-11-1519 minLife on the West SideWhy Christianity Has A ResurrectionChristians believe in resurrection. The cross is certainly part of the great news from heaven to all of creation; but what makes it good news is that death is not the end of the story. The resurrection forms the center of the gospel of God. Christ came that we might have life, because he himself is the resurrection and the life. Christians proclaim that the Spirit is the giver of Life. And nothing declares that God is Father Almighty quite like saying that God raises the dead–first Jesus, then we ourselves–that death may be swallowed up i...2022-11-1522 minLife on the West SideWhy Christianity Has A CrossHow can Paul claim to “boast in the cross”? How can Christians sing “in the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever?” To have the power over death and allow yourself to die is anything but glorious; its an act of insanity to himself and treachery to his followers (who left everything to join him in this crusade). He must be mad, or delusional…or he must know something we don’t know. It’s for the same reason Londoners take pride in the fire of London. How can I glory in the cross? Because his cruel death is...2022-11-1520 minLife on the West SidePinnacle: The Spirit Glorifies YouThe Bible says we will be glorified. In the middle of Romans 8, Paul reminds us that God is in the process or restoring, reframing, and redeeming. He says that our bodies will be raised...then changed. Not only that, the creation will be set free from its bondage to decay. The imagery tells us that God wins, there is freedom that extends as far as the curse is found, and God intends to make even those parts we think of as unimpressive or unimportant into something to be put on display to the glory of God. This...2022-10-2025 minLife on the West SidePerformance: The Spirit Empowers YouI want to talk about "living water" and Jesus' miracle in Cana. We already know from John 4 and John 7 that stories about water that “come alive” are stories about the Spirit. Look at five things we see in the story of water turned to wine in John 2. Abundance. Fullness. The Good the Best. A Power that Changes and Overwhelms. This is how we are supposed to think about what God provides. And what God provides for his people is His Holy Spirit. It’s not a coincidence that we meet that abundant, full, good and best changing power...2022-10-2023 minLife on the West SideProgress: The Spirit Makes You HolyBeing holy means being like God. God does far more than “avoiding bad actions.” He also doesn’t want to do bad actions. That is, he doesn’t just say “no” to bad desires. Even his desires are pure. So holiness must also include purified desires. So much so that we can learn to “do as we please” once “what we please” is simply to please Him.Yes, it means set apart from evil actions. Yes, it means set apart from evil desires. But that isn’t complete enough. How could God ever take up residence among us if...2022-10-2023 minLife on the West SidePower: The Spirit Works In YouThe Spirit is implanted within us, yet we are called to "receive" the Spirit. Having God's Spirit is a wonderful truth! But what if we resist the Spirit? What if we choose not to yield ourselves to the Spirit's will? The Spirit wishes to work within us, to accomplish God's will in changing us and using us. Our calling is to accept God's lead and to stop resisting the Spirit within us.The sermon today is titled "Power: The Spirit Works In You." It is the second installment in our "This Present Strength"...2022-10-2020 minLife on the West SidePresence: The Spirit Lives In YouJesus promised to plunge his people in the Spirit. And Paul said the Spirit now lives in every believer. What if we believed that every Christian has been totally immersed, totally plunged into the living, active, powerful, Holy Spirit of God? With access to his presence, power, and the fruit of God’s kingdom He produces? That would change a person, wouldn’t it?The sermon today is titled "Presence: The Spirit Lives In You." It is the first installment in our "This Present Strength" Series. The Scripture reading is from Luke 3:15-16 and...2022-10-2019 minLife on the West SideThe God Who TransformsYour Life Can Be Different. When the Lord comes back, we will be changed. I believe that, and you do too. But standing there in the shadow of her brother’s grave, Martha needed to hear of a more immediate hope. In their short exchange, Jesus assures Martha that “even now” change can happen. Because she is not just standing in the valley of the shadow of death; she is standing in the shadow of Jesus, the same Jesus who calls into existence things that were not and now are; the same God who uphold the world by his...2022-10-1830 minLife on the West SideThe God Who Is Self SacrificingThe Upper Room prefigures the story of the cross. Jesus, the sacrificial servant, who strips down and offers his body and blood to a man who will deny him and another who will betray him. And he calls us to see him as our Lord. What love.It was St. Athanasius who said the cross was the only form of death he knew where you did with arms outstretched. See the cross as the story of a God who looks at you as he stretches his arms upon the cross and declares, “Want to know ho...2022-10-1034 minLife on the West SideThe God Who Is HolyDeep down, we want a God who is Holy. If God believes in goodness, kindness, generosity, and peace, then he must hate evil, stinginess, mean-spiritedness, oppression, and animosity. You can’t be for something without being against its opposite. A God who could care less about sin, evil, and corruption is no God at all—powerless against darkness—and can never be trusted to mold us into people after His image. How could he be a God who makes righteous judgments if he allows unrighteousness to flourish? In short, if there is a God—who truly lov...2022-10-0434 min

And who you eat with tells me a lot about your story. The self-righteous and well-to-do tried to think up the worst thing they could say about Jesus. And here is what they came up with: “this man welcomes sinners and eats with them” (Luke 15:2). The sermon today is titled "The God Who Welcomes." It is the sixth installment in our "Good and Beautiful God" Series. The Scripture reading is from Luke 15:2, 11-32. Ori...2022-09-2832 minLife on the West SideThe God Who SeeksGod is a seeker. He seeks his saved bride, like a lover who never stops serving. He seeks the lost who know they are in need of being found. And He even seeks the betrayer, who defiantly lives without Him, because He refuses to give up on the One His soul loves.You find me, I dare you, any such parallel story in all the great world religions. At the moment of the betrayal, Jesus called Judas “friend.” The same Peter who denied even knowing Jesus within eyesight of the man in his time of tria...2022-09-2831 minLife on the West SideThe God Who Is GenerousWhat do you do when you don’t feel like you have enough? Life begins to look like what happens in musical chairs when the music ends. People begin to live from a condition of scarcity. Living from paycheck to paycheck is hard enough; but when you have no idea when—or if—your job will start up again, it can be sheer panic. That’s not only true when it comes to money. What does it look like spiritually to live from a condition of scarcity? It makes it very hard to love others, or even l...2022-09-2631 minLife on the West SideThe God Who Is TrustworthyRevelation says our Lord is faithful and true. When philosophers talk about God, two overall characteristics are named immediately: God knows everything, and He can do anything. But that description is incomplete. When you hear God has all knowledge, that can scare you—like someone out there has your FBI file. When you hear God has all power, it can frighten you—like someone can always overcome your strengths by producing your kryptonite. This description of God says nothing about what such a God would do with all that knowledge and power. Talking about God as “all knowin...2022-09-2631 minLife on the West SideThe God Who Is GoodWhat is “goodness”? When we say, “God is good,” what do we mean by that? The problem with the word “goodness” in English is that the word can mean whatever you want it to mean. Think of all the ways we use the word “good.” Is a good horse one that runs really fast or one that will walk slowly? Well, it depends on whether we mean one in the wild doing what it was made to do or one in the stable doing what it was trained to do. A good knife is one that cuts well. But if it...2022-09-2328 minLife on the West SideLenses: The God I See In Jesus ChristClose your eyes. I want you to picture the face of God. Hold that image in your mind. What are you picturing? Get as clear a picture as you can. Does God have a human looking face? Is he standing or sitting? Is he old or young? Zoom in. Is he stern, frowning, or smiling? Now, focus on your feelings. What emotions are welling up inside you? Is it fear, concern, joy, curiosity, bewilderment, worry, pain, awe, love?

The man bowed his head to pray over me. “Lord," he began, "I pray that you will break in him what needs to be broken.” It's a line from Psalm 51. I didn’t know that verse at the time.

He bears his soul to the Master. “If you can, I know my boy will be healed.” “If YOU can” replies Jesus, “All things are possible to him who believes” (Mark 9:22-24). Listen to the cry of the heart–perhaps the sound coming from deep without your own soul: “Lord, I believe! Help my unbelief!” I have faith! But I’m running on empty. And I need to believe.Let this point sink deep into your ears, and do not forget it: by...2022-08-3021 min

Peace at my family’s Thanksgiving Day table. To avoid becoming the Hatfields and the McCoy’s, we pray for peace.And that brings us to the cross of Christ. Christ, who is our peace (Eph 2:14).

The kind of pain that in any other situation would cause you to wonder if God is even present, or if he cares about the suffering of my wife on the surgeon’s table.

Life on the West SideLoveGod is love. In the New Testament, God is described with adjectives: God is holy; God is just; God is merciful. But in 1 John, God is defined when the text says God is Love (1 John 4:8). In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent His Son to die for us (1 John 4:10). Rarely will anyone die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die. But God commends/shows/displays/proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died fo...2022-08-2526 minLife on the West SideStep Into The WaterMeet Christ in the water. Nothing can wash away my sins--nothing but the blood of Jesus. The gospel is the story of Jesus Christ, doing what we could never do, paying what we could never pay. The gospel gets a hold of our hearts and demands a response. In the New Testament, the uniting response is to confess Christ as Lord and to follow Jesus into water for this crossing over experience. Baptism is obedient faith. It is imitating Christ. It is retelling the gospel. It is obeying the greatest commandment. It is our crossing o...2022-08-2431 minLife on the West SideNew BeginningsBeginning is tough. Kim Linehan was an American Olympic swimmer who, for 8 years, held the world record in the Women’s 1500-meter freestyle. Competing at 18 years of age, Kim would do endless exercises and swam 7 to 12 miles a day. But when she was asked “what is the hardest part of your regimen?” she gave this reply: “getting in the water.” Getting in the water. Beginning is tough. Starting over—beginning again—is harder still. If I couldn’t finish it the first time, why even try this time? One needs motivation to finish, and it just seem s...2022-08-2019 minLife on the West SideLiving Like Christ Is AllWhat happens if you see Christ in your next door neighbor? That’s easy if your neighbor is like Kenneth—who was my next door neighbor for a few years. Kenneth would do anything for anyone. All he asked for was a coconut pie. When Jesus says "love God and love your neighbor," people assume that means love those who are really good to you. So Jesus clarifies: “I say unto you, love your enemies… If you love only those who love you, what good is that? Even scoundrels do that much. If you are friendly only to your...2022-08-1528 minLife on the West SideHaving The Mind Of ChristChristianity is not self-help behavior modification. Telling ourselves “do it, do it, do it” when we look at virtue that we don’t really want, or “don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t do it” when we look at sin we really do want, won't lead to anything good. It doesn’t. It won’t work. It’s what Paul calls “will worship.” It is a spiritless gospel. It’s precisely what Paul is attacking in Galatians when he says “how can you who started with the Spirit, now proceed in the flesh?” No. That’s the first point—w...2022-08-1531 minLife on the West SideLearning ChristWhether you are using the KJV, NKJV, ESV, or NRSV, the line is virtually the same: “But you didn’t learn Christ that way" (Eph 4:20). It doesn’t say “you didn’t learn about Christ,” as if he is the subject and we gain information about him. No, just as the thirsty hiker learns the refreshing nature of a drink of water, just as the Olympian learns victory the moment she crosses the finish line and looks up at her score, you, believers, learn Christ: a new way of seeing the world, a gush of refreshment...2022-08-1532 minLife on the West SideAmazing GraceShe reframed his mistake. Oh, I wish I could do that for you…and wish you could do that for others. How often do we yearn for someone to see value in us when we don’t perform well. The good news...is that Jesus does!You see, it’s hard to believe, but even church folk tend to believe the lie that our world is pumping into our ears every day. If you want to be accepted, if you want to be loved, try harder to perform better. Make yourself more beautiful, then they’ll love you...2022-08-1523 minLife on the West SideA Know Nothing PreacherPaul determined to know nothing among his audience except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. And so, Lord willing, I too will preach Christ crucified. You see, I believe heaven touched earth in the person of Jesus Christ. I believe the powers of darkness were lassoed at the cross. I believe Satan and all of his minions laugh at our perceived success stories; they rejoice when we focus only on our issues. But the demons shudder, and the heaven’s quake, and the angels sing for joy and my Father is glorified when we preach Christ cr...2022-08-1126 minRiskReversal PodMKT Call with Dan Nathan, Guy Adami and Danny Moses Live from the iConnections Digital Assets Forum in MiamiOn this special episode of MKT Call, Dan Nathan, Guy Adami and their “On The Tape” co-host Danny Moses speak at the Digital Assets Forum in Miami.
