"Death: You Can Bank On It" Shane Phillips

Shane Phillips brings real life tragedy together with real world business experience. Through tremendous personal loss he has found his personal and professional calling. In this episode, Shane will discuss his new book First Steps: A Comprehensive Guide To Financial Matters After A Death. He will share how he was been able to take his life experiences with death and loss, his professional skills as a financial advisor, and his passion to serve others who are suffering and turn them into a way to benefit nearly everyone he encounters. We will all face a death at some point in our lives, some sooner than others. It is how we choose to respond that makes a difference. Genesis 50:20 “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives."
