In this powerful episode of SmartPro Radio, we sit down with Steve Jones, founder of Autumn Hope Ministries, and Ben McPherson, SmartPro advisor, for a conversation that will completely reshape the way you think about debt, freedom, and faith.
Steve shares how God called him into full-time missions, leading him into some of the darkest places in the world - from brick kilns in Pakistan to fishing villages in Liberia. He tells firsthand stories of rescuing young girls and boys from slavery, restoring families trapped in generational debt, rehabilitating child soldiers, feeding millions, and building churches and orphanages across the globe.
Ben reflects on how hearing these stories as a dad made everything feel real and how it changed the way he views giving, investing, and living with purpose. Together, they explore how debt looks very different in the Western world and how financial freedom here can create life-changing impact around the world.
This episode is emotional, eye-opening, and deeply inspiring - and a reminder that freedom, generosity, and stewardship go far beyond our own lives.
🎙️TLDR: Steve Jones shares how Autumn Hope Ministries rescues girls, boys, and families from literal slavery and generational debt, while Ben McPherson reflects on how these stories transformed his view of money, giving, and purpose.
