How to Pay for Your Student Loans and Plan for Retirement

What would you say if it was possible to make student loan payments that result in NBUSA contributing to your retirement account? Read on and find out how a new initiative from NBUSA offers a way to make that happen. A recent enhancement to our Nazarene 403(b) Retirement Savings Plan (Plan) now allows ministers to build their retirement savings while servicing their student loan debt—without negatively impacting their family budgets.

How Does It Work?

We implemented the new ministers match program (nbusa.org/ministers-match-resources) as of January 1, 2024, to address the lack of retirement readiness among so many of our clergy. Under the program, NBUSA makes quarterly matching contributions based on the eligibility of the churchemployer (in paying their NBUSA Fund budgets) and the level of local effort contributions by the minister and/or church to the minister’s Plan account. We recently added this student debt component to specifically help those ministers for whom student debt payments are a barrier to saving for retirement.

Our ability to do this was made possible through the provisions of what is known as the SECURE 2.0 Act passed by Congress in December 2022 which became effective this year. We worked with Fidelity (our Plan record keeper) over the past several months to make this additional matching opportunity available.

Fidelity’s Role

NBUSA does not see your confidential loan data because Fidelity utilizes a third-party to track the student loan payments of eligible participants and only reports the level of annual loan payments (both principal and interest) back to us.

The Process

If you are otherwise eligible for the new minister’s match program, it’s as simple as registering your student loans online through Fidelity’s NetBenefits portal, which is the same web access used to access your Plan account. After registering and supplying them with proof of your loans, Fidelity will go through a verification and approval process to determine your eligibility to participate. From that point forward, they will track the level of payments and report the annual total to NBUSA during the first quarter of the following year. We will calculate the corresponding NBUSA match dollars and make an annual contribution to your Plan account during the second quarter.

For ministers grappling with student debt, your top priority should be to pay it off as soon as possible. While you work on that, NBUSA will support your retirement savings efforts.

Constraints and Future Goals

Unlike the regular matching program which provides for up to four quarterly NBUSA matching contributions, the student loan matching portion is limited to a single, annual matching contribution. It’s a constraint of the new program we hope can be adjusted in the future to provide for more frequent matching, but that remains to be seen. Also, it’s important to know the amount of any debt forgiveness (such as under certain federal government programs) is not eligible to be matched. Only loans in the name of the participant and used for the education of the participant are eligible to be included in the program. This means loans incurred for the benefit of a dependent child are not eligible.

Eligibility and Contribution

Eligibility for the annual student loan match is the same as the quarterly local effort match. The applicable table for Local Church Ministers is shown here:

Final Advice

For ministers grappling with student debt, your top priority should be to pay it off as soon as possible. While you work on that, NBUSA will support your retirement savings efforts by matching a portion of your student debt payments and any local effort contributions made by you and/or your local church employer. Achieving debt-free status is the fastest way to financial independence, will set you on the path to retire well, and will move you closer to achieving peace of mind about your finances in retirement. Once your student loans are gone, you can reallocate those amounts in your budget toward your retirement Plan account, and NBUSA will match those.

How to Enroll

As of this writing, the implementation process was still being finalized but should be in place by the time of publication. For more information, visit our website at nbusa.org or call us at 888.888.4656.

For a church who pays 100% of its NBSUA Fund budget, the minister is eligible for a match up to $2,500 ($5,000 x 50%). If there are no local effort contributions but the minister makes student loan payments of $3,600, NBUSA will match $1,800 ($3,600 x 50%).

The Hidden Power of Your 403(b) Sensible Stewardship

Nazarene Benefits USA sponsors a 403(b) Retirement Savings Plan for U.S.-based ministers to help them save for retirement and receive tax benefits while doing so.

If you have been participating in the 403(b) plan, you’re likely familiar with the advantages of being able to make tax-deferred contributions. Tax-deferred means you can make contributions before any income taxes are taken out, which is also referred to as pre-tax. This tax savings means you have more money to invest and grow.

For example, let’s say you have $100 to invest and you’re in the 12% federal and 5% state income tax brackets. The fact that you can invest in your 403(b) pre-tax means you get to invest the entire $100. If you had to pay taxes first, you would only have $83 to invest.

Being able to invest pre-tax money is a benefit that is available to everyone who participates in a 403(b) plan. However, there’s an additional benefit for pastors that you might be familiar with if you read this column regularly. Pastors are eligible to claim a housing allowance from their church 403(b) plan in retirement. Claiming a housing allowance means you can put money into the retirement plan without paying income taxes and then use those dollars in retirement for qualified housing expenses without paying any income taxes. That’s a double tax benefit that is only available to pastors and only if they save into a churchsponsored retirement plan.

Being able to claim a housing allowance and never pay income taxes on your retirement savings is a lucrative opportunity and a good enough reason for any pastor to prioritize saving into a 403(b) plan over other available options. But what if I told you there are even greater benefits?

Claiming

a housing allowance means you can put money into the retirement plan without paying income taxes and then use those dollars in retirement for qualified housing expenses without paying any income taxes.

For pastors who are participating in Social Security, saving into a 403(b) through payroll deductions is one of the smartest financial moves they can make. For every $100 they put into their 403(b) account, they save $15 in taxes. Why? Because 403(b) contributions avoid SECA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes.

The only people who can do this are pastors, and the only accounts it works with are church-sponsored 403(b) plans because of the way pastors are dualstatus taxpayers. For most employees, Social Security and Medicare taxes are taken out of their pay before

it is contributed to their retirement plan. However, pastors are treated as if they are self-employed (SE) and pay those taxes through the SECA system.

With SECA, pastors calculate their Social Security and Medicare taxes on their own on Schedule SE when they file their tax returns. Those calculations are based on the income numbers provided on Form W-2, which doesn’t include 403(b) contributions as taxable income. That means the numbers used to calculate and pay those taxes are after retirement contributions have been taken out. The retirement contributions are never subject to SECA taxes—neither when contributed nor withdrawn from the account.

This may seem like a questionable loophole, but the IRS is fully aware of it and doesn’t seem to see anything wrong with it.

Let’s take a look at what that means with real numbers. SECA taxes are about 15%, and we’ll use our assumed 12% federal and 5% state tax rates from before. If you had to pay all of those taxes on your $100, you would only have $68 left to invest. If you’re a pastor, you don’t pay any of those taxes, so you still have the full $100 to invest.

It’s almost as if the government is providing a 47% matching contribution (the additional $32 you have to invest is 47% of $68). I don’t know about your church, but I’ve never seen an employer that provides a 47% match, so this is a pretty rare opportunity!

While 403(b) plans offer the benefit of tax deferral to all participants, clergy have the unique ability to claim 403(b) funds as a housing allowance in retirement and also avoid SECA taxes on their contributions. Are you taking advantage of this opportunity?

The Pastor’s Family

Afriend pastored in the Church of the Nazarene during a time when the entire membership (age 15 and older) regularly voted on the continuation of the pastor-church relationship. After one particular vote, the head teller shared the news with the pastor. There was only one “no.” The rest of the votes were “yes.”

“Good news,” the pastor breathed with relief.

“Well,” the teller continued, “the one who voted ‘no’ signed their name to the ballot.” The teller handed over the ballot, upon which, the pastor saw the handwritten name of his own teenage son.

The protest vote sparked an honest conversation between father and son which led to a redemptive breakthrough in their relationship. As a result, the pastor re-evaluated and re-ordered his priorities, which benefited the pastor, his family, and the church.

I am not a pastor’s kid (PK), but I know many, and I have three. I am aware of ways that pastoral families can feel “sidelined” because the church tends to get more of the pastor’s time and attention. Pastoral families are often subjected to higher standards, sometimes by the church and sometimes by the pastor. Many pastors’ kids live with a stigma of rebellion, whether accurate or inaccurate. Additionally, they see the pastor up close. They see the faults. They note the inconsistencies. They also see the church up close, observing its shortcomings. These realities compound to add unnecessary stress on pastoral families, which can lead to relational and spiritual damage.

I offer four pieces of wisdom for pastors and churches:

1. Allow pastors’ kids to be kids.

The phrase “But you’re the pastor’s kid” should be stricken from church vocabulary. Unreasonably high expectations, whether they come from the pastor or the local church, place undue pressure on pastoral families. Free PKs from the fishbowl. Let them be kids in the church like all the other kids in the church. Hold them to standards, but hold them to the same standards as other young people who are learning to be Christfollowers.

Pastors are called to our families just as we are called to the church.

2. Draw boundaries.

For pastors with families, the ministryfamily balance is the most challenging piece of pastoral ministry. Unlike other vocations, pastors rarely come to a satisfying sense of completion. There is constantly more work to do and more people to see. As pastors, we can always find reasons to justify not being present with our families. Although it is far from easy, pastors must draw and protect boundaries that include Sabbaths, evenings, vacations, mealtimes, and other blocks of time in which we give ourselves fully to our families. Our families need to know they are high priority. Pastors are not called away from their families to the church. In fact, we are called to our families just as we are called to the church. Pastors need the help of church boards and local churches to protect boundaries and hold pastors accountable.

3. Bury the dirt.

Drawing boundaries includes shielding pastoral families from the “yucky” parts of church life. It may seem counterintuitive to withhold information, but when pastors share negative information about the church, their families become unnecessarily burdened with no outlet for processing or dealing with the issue. Instead of disclosing negative information to our families, pastors need prayer partners, peer pastors, or counselors to help them sort through the difficulty. Sometimes the negative parts of church life are so public that the pastor’s family cannot be shielded. In those instances, the Spirit helps us navigate conversations delicately and gracefully.

week. Those ears come with eyes that watch me every day. They know me—the real me. They know if my message matches my life. Whether they realize it or not, my kids are counting on my holiness. They are not looking for me to be flawless; they are looking for integrity. When I fall short, they need to witness my confession. They need to see me draw upon God’s grace. Pastors constantly witness to our families. The only question is whether our witness is credible.

Pastoral families are precious. They are a means of grace for pastors and churches. May we all be intentional about the care we give them.

Dwelling with God

By Mary Rearick Paul

What Season Is It?

You may recall the passage in the third chapter of Ecclesiastes that begins with “There is a time for everything…,” or perhaps, like me, the song by Peter Seeger entitled “Turn, Turn, Turn” is your clearest memory of this passage. I remember reading the scripture and singing the song, wrestling with understanding what “a time for everything” might mean. I didn’t like the more negative notions of a “time to kill” or a “time for war.” It helped when I learned the larger context, that Ecclesiastes is part of the biblical genre known as wisdom literature, in which scripture provides ancient wisdom about the world and living a life with and for God.

And yet, in my return to this passage, I find myself wondering if there is something for me to hear beyond a reflection of wisdom (traditionally attributed to King Solomon) as the author looks back at life with all its inevitable seasons. Is there something in this passage that invites us not to the passivity of mere existence as the seasons carry us along like leaves in the wind, but to a hope-filled discernment of what season God is calling me to enter next?

I have the privilege in my present ministry to pray with young adults as they are discerning relationships, vocations, majors, jobs—all the “What’s next?” questions. And while there is an intensity to the number of questions they are asking at this stage of life, the reality is that discernment is our constant companion as disciples of Christ. When I was in college, I thought I would be much more settled in life and vocation when I reached my forties, fifties, and surely by my sixties. Yet, here I am, praying over what might need to be born in my life and what I should let die, what needs to be planted and what needs to be uprooted, what needs to be killed and what needs to heal. Recently, I found myself praying over Ecclesiastes chapter 3, asking the Holy Spirit to guide me to the words that I need to pay attention to in this season of life. I still stumble over the notions of a “time to kill” or a “time for war,” but if I hear them not as an act of

violence against others but a prayer over what needs to be put to death in my life (bitterness, defensiveness, etc.) or where I need to engage in a response to injustice (hunger, limited housing options, etc.), they, too, become part of my discernment.

You might find spending some time with Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 a gift as you pray. Consider reading over it several times, asking the Holy Spirit to direct your thoughts. I find circling the word or words that rise to my attention helpful. Be still and create space for silence. I encourage you to give yourself the gift of time. Be curious about what themes you see rising in your journaling, in your attentiveness to God’s whispers during the day, and what you hear as you talk with soul friends.

I still find discernment to be hard work. I have heard the testimonies of others who hear from God in such strong ways that it borders on a verbal message. That has not been my journey. Following God’s direction in my life is best described as persistent nudges or, as one friend said, an “itch that can’t be scratched.” But I do know that my listening and discerning is strengthened as I pray the scriptures with humility and openness to what God might want to say. Discernment is our constant companion. Sometimes it can feel like a weight or a burden, yet I think it is better thought of as a sign that we remain in a dynamic relationship with God, full of challenges but full of life.

Recently, I was talking with my mother who is in her 90s, and she said, “I am discerning whether….” I am glad she is still discerning seasons and that God is still speaking over her, in her, and through her. May it be so for all of us.

A Tale of Two Brothers: David and John Hynd

History is littered with instances of siblings who took very different paths. Such happened with David and John Hutton Hynd. They were born in Perth, Scotland—David in 1895 and John in 1898. Their parents, Samuel and Margaret, also had daughters, Catherine and Grace.

David entered the University of Glasgow in 1913. His education was interrupted by World War I when he left college to serve in the armed forces. Eventually he earned four degrees at the university, including one in surgery.

He married Nema Sharpe in 1918. They prayerfully considered missionary service, and Nema earned her nursing degree. Later, David studied tropical diseases at the Royal College of Medicine in London.

They also prepared for pastoral ministry and were ordained by General Superintendent John Goodwin in 1924.1 Soon, they sailed to southern Africa. David’s mission was to build and equip a hospital in Bremersdorp, Swaziland (now Manzini, Eswatini) where they would practice medicine.

They became co-pastors of the Bremersdorp church. David’s first great project was hospital construction. Using manuals as guides, he acted as the construction site manager. The Raleigh Fitkin Memorial Hospital opened in 1927.

A nurses’ training program began in 1928. David founded the Red Cross of Swaziland in 1932. New wards were added to the hospital until it encompassed 220 beds.

As these events unfolded, John Hynd embarked on a very different course. He entered the ministry as pastor of the Nazarene church in Morley, England, and also served as district secretary. Increasingly, though,

John harbored doubts about Christian orthodoxy. In 1925, he informed the district assembly that he would withdraw from the church and its ministry.

District friends persuaded him to continue as pastor at Morley for another year while he reconsidered his position on the Articles of Faith. He agreed but then resigned a few weeks later.

Moving to London, he united with the South Place Ethical Culture Society. Felix Adler, a German immigrant, had launched Ethical Culture in the United States in 1877. A secular religion without creeds or rituals, it provided a congregational life for rationalists

David Hynd

and free-thinkers. Its members largely rejected classical theism but leaned into the moral values and traditions of Western philosophy and religion, stressing clean living and a moral imperative to build the human community.

After several years in London, John moved to America where he led the St. Louis Ethical Culture Society for seventeen years (1933-50) and served as president of the American Humanist Association (1947-48).2 He was known for Sunday lectures that combined science, philosophy, and ethical principles.

Back in Swaziland, Raleigh Fitkin Memorial Hospital emerged as a hub with medical outstations and mobile

the Swaziland Bible Society Board, and member of the national Board of Education.

King George VI toured Africa and bestowed on David the honor of Commander of the Order of the British Empire.

In 1947, King George VI toured Africa and bestowed on David the honor of Commander of the Order of the British Empire as Princess Elizabeth—the future queen—looked on. Later, after Swaziland gained independence, it awarded him the Independence Medal (1968) and the Medal of Royal Order (1982). He was commemorated on Swazi postage stamps.

David and Nema’s love for the Swazi people was great. They chose to remain in Swaziland after they retired, living at the leprosy clinic for a few years, then moving to the capital, Mbabane.

Nema Hynd died in 1982. David died in 1990 at the age of 95. Their funeral services were conducted at Sharpe Memorial Church in Manzini, a church named after her father, George Sharpe.

John Hynd returned to London in his fifties and became secretary of the South Place Ethical Society. He and his wife later retired to Scotland where he died in 1970.

The Hynd brothers each pursued truth in their own way. John wanted to dispel religious myths and allow modern science to determine his philosophical agenda. David pursued truth through servant leadership by the faithful preaching of the gospel and by meeting the physical needs of ordinary Africans.

clinics. Nurse Elizabeth Cole, assigned to the hospital in 1935, developed a special interest in leprosy patients. David Hynd lobbied the government on her behalf, and the Mbuluzi Leper Hospital was established forty miles from Manzini. With David as her supervisor, Cole operated it until she retired.

David was active in many other affairs: President of the Swaziland Conference of Churches, President of the Holiness Association for Africa, charter member of

1 According to T. A. Noble, Nema Hynd was the third woman ordained to the ministry in Scotland. Her mother, Jane Sharpe, was the second. The first was the American Olive Winchester, who was ordained by George Sharpe while she was a seminary student at the University of Glasgow.

2 While his family called him John, and he signed his letters to them with that name, he was known publicly by the press and to readers of his books and essays as J. H. Hynd and J. Hutton Hynd.

What Is the Deal with Alkalinized Water?

Alkalinized water comes in many sizes. Ranging from $1.00 for 16.9 ounces, $13.00 for five gallons of basic alkaline water, to nearly $60.00 for a fourpack of 3-Liter bottles of more premium alkaline water that promises “Himalayan minerals and electrolytes, smooth taste, 8.8 pH bottled water, BPA-free.” Alkalinized water is being marketed as having health benefits. But what are they? Should you drink it? Is it worth it?

In chemistry, pH (potential of hydrogen) measures the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in a liquid; it reflects the basicity or acidity of a liquid on a scale of 0-14. The higher the concentration of hydrogen ions, the more acidic and closer the pH is to 0; the less the concentration of hydrogen ions, the more basic and closer the pH is to 14. To help remember, A (acid) comes before B (base); 0 comes before 14. Neutral pH is 7.0. The pH of blood is 7.4, which means we are all a little basic.

0 Car battery acid, hydrochloric acid

Stomach acid

Lemon juice, vinegar*

Grapefruit or orange juice, soda, vinegar*

Tomato juice, sherry vinegar*

5 Black coffee, mineral water

6 Milk, urine, saliva 7 Pure water

8 Baking soda, sea water 9 Toothpaste

10 Milk of Magnesium, Great Salk Lake 11 Household ammonia 12 Soapy water 13 Bleach, oven cleaner

14 Drain cleaner, sodium hydroxide

*Vinegar has range, depending on the type of vinegar.

The pH of alkaline water ranges from slightly greater than 7.0 to 9.5, with most falling between 8.0 to 9.0. Although there is water that is naturally more alkaline—for example, some spring water that passes through rocks and certain minerals results in a loss of hydrogen ions—commercially produced alkaline water is intentionally made that way through a process called ionization, which involves using an electromagnet and a salt acid called carbonate.

There are a number of ways to make alkalinized water at home. Some approaches include:

1. Thinly slice 1 cucumber into 2 quarts of water and refrigerate for 2-3 hours;

2. Squeeze 1/2 a lemon into 8 ounces of water;

3. Thinly slice 2 lemons into 2 quarts of water and refrigerate for 2-3 hours;

4. Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of baking soda to 8 ounces of water (maximum intake is 8 ounces daily; since baking soda is high in sodium, do not do this if you are on a low-sodium diet);

5. Filter water through an ionizing, or alkaline, filter; or

6. Attach a water-ionizing machine to your faucet.

Why drink it? The theory is that alkaline water can neutralize acid in the body, making it more alkaline and thereby decrease the damage that acids do at the cellular level. There are purported immune system benefits. Some proponents of an alkaline diet trumpet it extensively for improving fertility, increasing energy, regulating your internal pH, preventing diabetes, and even decreasing cancer risks. All that sounds good and hopeful. However, other than hydration benefits, similar to that of regular water, no studies have demonstrated any of those benefits from drinking alkalinized water. There may be potential benefits for acid reflux with pH 8.8 water. Until proven, it is just expensive water leading to expensive urine.

Water is water, and alkalinizing it does not seem to make it more (or less) healthy, for now.

Lack of marked benefit in studies is likely because alkalinized water is ingested into the acidic environment of the stomach (pH 1-2) which acts quickly to acidify it.

Drinking alkalinized water is generally considered safe. Digestive side effects such as bloating, nausea, belching, and upset stomach can occur with high levels of consumption, especially with higher intake of higher alkalinized waters—those with pH greater than 9.0.

In most cities within the USA, tap water is safe, already paid for via taxes, and prevents unnecessary use of plastic. The U.S. has highquality tap water largely due to regulations set by Congress in the 1974 Safe Water Drinking Act (amended in 1986 and 1996). Enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it requires tap water to have a pH of 6.5 to 8.5, which means some places already have alkalinized water.

According to thetravel.com, these cities are top 10 for best-tasting water in the USA:

10. Chicago, IL

9. Denver, CO

8. Manchester, NH

7. Fort Collins, CO

6. Greenville, SC

5. Silverdale, WA

4. Oklahoma, City, OK

3. Louisville, KY

2. Macon, GA

1. Memphis, TN

Unless you favor the taste of alkalinized water or your water supply is from a non-EPA regulated source (e.g. well water), water is water, and alkalinizing it does not seem to make it more (or less) healthy, for now.

We strive to educate participants on our benefit plans, financial markets, the importance of retirement planning, and a variety of other financial issues that may be impactful.
