How Everyday Banking Can Advance God’s Kingdom with Aaron Caid

In this episode of Faith & Finance, host Rob West welcomes Aaron Cade of Adelphi and Christian Community Credit Union to explore how everyday banking can become a tool for advancing God’s kingdom. Cade explains how the newly unified Adelphi Christian Banking—formed from the merger of Adelphi and CCCU—operates as a not-for-profit, member-owned credit union that channels its earnings toward ministry support, including financing for churches like Calvary Chapel South OC, funding for Christian Alliance for Orphans, and support for Camp Agape, which serves children of incarcerated parents. The episode emphasizes that financial decisions, such as where to bank, can be acts of kingdom stewardship. The show then transitions into listener calls, offering practical advice to a 71-year-old self-employed man on building an emergency fund and maximizing Roth IRA contributions through Fidelity or Schwab, and guidance to an 82-year-old with a departing 401k on rolling it into a Fidelity IRA with a balanced, low-risk investment strategy. The overarching message is that faithfulness in money management is not about wealth but about trusting God with what we have, regardless of our financial situation.
