Financial Issues Week in Review is a weekly program, focusing on financial stewardship. Every Saturday morning from 10-11 a.m. CT. Financial advisor, Shana Burt, speaks to thousands of listeners who are seeking to honor God with their finances. Having been mentored by Dan Celia, Founder of Financial Issues Stewardship Ministries, Shana has taken up the torch to educate listeners about the economy, markets, and investments from a biblical perspective.
