#23 Jesus Christ: What Does He Mean to You? (04/05/02)

The Message

By Dr. Robert H. Schuller

Special Guest

Foster Friess

He is the founder and the chairman of Friess Associates, an investment firm that manages more than 6 billion in assets for clients, including the John Templeton Foundation, Fortune 500 Corporate pension plans, and even his own high school basketball coach. Business Week called Foster the industry's longest surviving, successful growth stock picker.

His firm's flagship, Brandywine Fund, gained 20% a year in average in the 1990's when he hit a spot on the Mutual Funds Magazine's list of the best funds of the decade. Foster serves as President of the Lennin Foster Friess Family Foundation, a grant making foundation focusing on small, entrepreneurial, faith based charities in urban environments.

He was the first recipient of the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian of the Year Award, presented by The Champ himself, in 1999. In 2000, the Council for National Policy, honored Foster with the Rich DeVos Free Enterprise Award for Exceptional Leadership. More recently, Foster was named Humanitarian of the Year at last year's National Charity Award dinner in Washington, D.C.

Despite his business successes, Foster was not complete until he invited Jesus to become the Chairman of his life. He says that decision saved his marriage, restored his relationship with his kids, and responsible for all the blessings in his life.
