Six Fat Cow Years – Interview with Dr. Jim Newheiser of Reformed Theological Seminary and IBCD

Jim’s heart for godly stewardship of financial resources – specifically his commitment that everything we have is a gift from God and belongs to God – is front and center in our conversation. Most of our conversation takes this presupposition as its jumping off point.

Key take-aways include:

1) You – and your children – can finish college at a young age. The university’s four-year program may or may not be the one that serves your student best.
2) Second, get creative and go big to find income opportunities. Dr Newheiser, later a pastor, seminarian, seminary professor, and author, went to Saudi Arabia as a management consultant in the oil industry! He did a high-paid job for a rich client, with expat pay and benefits layered on top. From there, he managed his expenses down and created wealth that still helps his family three decades later as he works and serves in different capacity.
3) There’s time for service in the church, whatever other demands exist on your time. Jim found time to serve as pastor of a secret church in Saudi Arabia while succeeding in his career as a management consultant.
