Some stories are so intricately woven, so perfectly timed, and so full of unexpected turns that the only explanation is the hand of God. Dianne and Jeff Chinery’s adoption journey is one of those stories.

In this heartfelt conversation, the Chinerys share how God led them through four adoptions—each one marked by courage, surrender, and unmistakable evidence of His sovereignty. From unexpected encounters in China to years of waiting during COVID to witnessing miracles they “still can’t believe are part of their story,” this episode is a moving reminder that God is faithful in every detail.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How God stirred their hearts toward adoption
• The miraculous way each child’s story prepared the way for the next
• What it looked like to take the “next faithful step” even when the path was unclear
• How their faith, community, and church carried them through fear and uncertainty
• Why their story is ultimately about God’s goodness—not their strength

Business ownership is rewarding but often complicated. Many entrepreneurs who excel at managing complex operations, employees, and growth strategies often struggle to separate their business and personal finances. The very skills that make them successful at business—seeing opportunities where others see challenges, taking calculated risks, viewing all assets as potential resources—can create blind spots in their personal financial management.

Blue Trust advisor Stephanie Adams sat down with a managing director and senior partner from Blue Trust, Greg Gilbert, to discuss the financial complexity that comes with business ownership. During their conversation, the two discussed how business owners can simultaneously achieve peace of mind, family harmony, and the ability to make wise stewardship decisions with the resources God has entrusted to them.


Key Takeaways:
1. Without clear, documented objectives, it’s impossible to make strategic decisions about how resources should flow between business and personal finances.
2. Creating intentional boundaries between business money and family money can help owners ensure each dollar has a defined purpose aligned with their overall financial strategy.
3. Knowing how much is enough helps determine whether you’re building a lifestyle business or planning an exit, which directly impacts future decisions.
