EP42 - Investing Made Simple: Faith, Dividends & Financial Freedom with Rachel from Yield & Grace

In this episode of Rooted, hosts Josie and Simone sit down with Rachel from Yield & Grace, a fast-growing faith-driven creator helping people—especially women—approach investing with confidence, wisdom, and biblical perspective.Rachel shares her personal journey into investing, how her father mentored her in financial stewardship, and why she felt God calling her to share her story publicly despite fear. The conversation covers practical investing strategies like high-yield ETFs, dividend income, Roth IRAs, and Bitcoin—while grounding everything in faith, character, and stewardship.This episode tackles tough questions many believers wrestle with:Is investing biblical? Can you pursue wealth without putting money before God? How do you tithe from investment income? Why should women understand finances, even within traditional faith contexts?Rachel also opens up about criticism she’s faced as a Christian woman talking about money, how she stays rooted in truth, and why financial freedom is about more than numbers—it’s about identity, obedience, and legacy. Whether you’re brand new to investing or looking to align your finances with your faith, this episode will encourage you to start small, think long-term, and trust God through the process.--------------TIMESTAMP SUMMARY01:00 – Meet Rachel from Yield & Grace & her rapid growth journey02:00 – Rachel’s background & learning to invest with her dad05:00 – Redefining wealth & mindset shifts around money07:00 – Why women should understand finances09:00 – Intergenerational wealth & teaching kids about money11:00 – When to start investing (hint: sooner than you think)12:00 – High-yield ETFs, dividends & passive income explained14:00 – How to choose companies to invest in15:00 – Teaching children about investing in practical ways17:00 – Navigating market volatility without fear19:00 – Bitcoin, crypto & why Rachel believes in it22:00 – Why Bitcoin is different from fiat currency24:00 – Faith, criticism & staying rooted in truth27:00 – Is investing biblical?
