Family Foundation

for Your Future

Kirk Hortel

Life insurance. For a lot of people, that is the last thing they want to discuss. It brings their eventual mortality directly to the forefront during the discussion. Your eternal salvation, if you are a believer, is guaranteed. That’s a great start.

But, what about those you leave behind. Wouldn’t be great if you can have a guarantee for them, here in the rotten here and now, as they go through probably one of the worst few days of their life?

What about if you are blessed enough to stick around awhile? Wouldn’t it be great to benefit financially in that regards as well? Of course!

Well, that is where our guest today comes in.

Kirk Hortel has a ministry called “CharityOne” and he helps families to create their own “Family Foundation” to help in estate planning, reducing taxes and help them to support charities of their choice, including increasing their giving to local churches. Amen!

Help me welcome to the program, Kirk Hortel…

Kirk, I appreciate you coming on the program today and discussing these very important topics for our listening audience!

The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Kirk Hortel?”

From what I understand, there was a book, I believe it was called, “Become Your Own Banker,” that was a big influence in your life. Can you explain why and how that book influenced you?

You focus on heritage as well as inheritance. What is the difference between the two?

There are other benefits of life insurance than just death benefits. Your ministry, CharityOne.com, helps families to create a family foundation. Can you explain what a family foundation is and why that is important?

How do you help families to create their own family foundation?

So this is a way business owners can help to establish their legacy as well?

When someone reaches out through your website, CharityOne.com, what will they discover?

How long does it take to set up your 501-c-3? How difficult is it?

We’ve been talking a lot about life insurance, business and finances – but in the end, it is all about leaving something behind for a person’s family after the main bread winner is gone to Heaven. It’s not something many people want to focus on – but it is a needful conversation.

Kirk, this has been so interesting. If someone wanted to ask a question, receive more information or possibly have you on an interview such as this – how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?

I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.

Folks, Kirk Hortel has tapped into something here that every single family needs to be informed about. Other than our Eternal Salvation, financial planning and planning for our the eventual loss of that is going to occur when we pass on to Heaven is vital. You may not like to think about that. It’s a difficult concept to dwell on – but if you take the time NOW to deal with that issue – it will be a blessing to your loved ones once that event does take place.

Yes – we pray that event is a long way off. But, bottom line – it WILL HAPPEN. It is guaranteed to happen.

When it does, we pray that your next destination is blessed beyond description. But your loved ones are still going to be in the rotten here and now.  What better gift can you give than to make sure they are taken care of when that event happens. Amen!

I urge you to drop down into the show notes and reach out to Kirk Hortel right now. Ask your questions. Receive some insight and information that will benefit you now… in your future – and in your loved ones future as well.

Get in touch and see what Kirk can do for you. The worst that can happen is you find out you’re on the right path right now. Maybe just a tweak here and there and your good. That’s the worst!

Drop the down into the show notes and get in touch with Kirk right now.

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
