The Faith and Investing Podcast

After our interview last week with Andy Crouch, ECFI's Editor-at-Large Amy Sherman sat down with Executive Director Jason Myhre to reflect on Crouch's insights. Listen in as they unpack his metaphor of a “bubble on top of a sinkhole,” challenge conventional views of profit, and offer a compelling vision for faithful investing. On this episode:Matt Galyon, Associate Director, ECFI Jason Myhre, Executive Director, ECFIAmy Sherman, Editor-at-Large, ECFI Notes & Links: View our Courses The communication herein is provided for informational purposes only and was made possible with the financial support of Eventide Asset Management, LLC (“Eventide”), an investment adviser.

There are many realities of twenty-first century life, like social media, Artificial Intelligence, or investing—that are not directly addressed in Scripture. For these modern cultural developments, we cannot point to a singular “chapter and verse” of Scripture to define what faithfulness looks like. So how do address these developments from a biblical perspective? To engage wisely in these areas, we must look at them through a pair of cultivated lenses. Lenses that have been crafted to view all of reality in light of the grand biblical story.These lenses we're talking about here is the concept of a biblical worldview.Today, we are pleased to bring you a new article by Michael Goheen, a scholar who has devoted his career to helping Christians develop and apply a fully-formed biblical worldview to many areas of public life. And today, he brings his expertise to the area of investing.On this episode:Matt Galyon, Associate Director, ECFI Michael Goheen, Professor, Calvin Theological Seminary Notes & Links: View our Courses The communication herein is provided for informational purposes only and was made possible with the financial support of Eventide Asset Management, LLC (“Eventide”), an investment adviser.

Why did God make gold? If you were to survey a number of people on the street with this question, you're sure to get some interesting answers. One may say he created it to give us a material to express beauty through art or fashion. Another might say that it was created to tempt us to love and worship something other than him. Still another, say someone who works in the investment world, may say he created it as a scarce resource that may act as a risk-off hedge for our portfolios in times of economic uncertainty. How would we think about this question from a Christian perspective? Well today we're bringing you an article by repeat contributor Jordan Ballor that attempts to answer this question by looking at examples of gold in the biblical narrative.On this episode:Matt Galyon, Associate Director, ECFI Jordan Ballor, Research Director, Center for Religion, Culture & Democracy Notes & Links: View our Courses The communication herein is provided for informational purposes only and was made possible with the financial support of Eventide Asset Management, LLC (“Eventide”), an investment adviser.

In 1941, Oxford professor C.S. Lewis revealed that he had, through some mysterious chain of events, come into the possession of a collection of letters from one of the devil's senior agents named Screwtape. The letters, which were addressed to his young apprentice nephew Wormwood, offered Screwtape's crafty expertise in the art of temptation, which Wormwood then employed on his “patient.” Recently, through equally unlikely circumstances, another installment of Screwtape's correspondence landed in our office. In keeping with Lewis' original wisdom, we think it best to refrain from delving into any details regarding our procurement of this letter, or its provenance. As with the first letters, the dating is difficult to ascertain.On this episode:Matt Galyon, Associate Director, ECFI Notes & Links: View our Courses The communication herein is provided for informational purposes only and was made possible with the financial support of Eventide Asset Management, LLC (“Eventide”), an investment adviser.

In 1992 a book was released that offered transformation and happiness through discipline, accountability, and persistence. It attacked the idols of consumerism and workaholism and bemoaned their devastating consequences on our pursuit of joy and purpose in life. The book was Your Money or Your Life, and it ended up being the match that lit the flame of the modern day FIRE movement. FIRE in the personal finance world stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early. The popularity of this movement has exploded among young professionals, including many in the Christian community, who are tired of “living to work.” Through aggressive saving and investing, these individuals hope to achieve total financial independence by their 30s or early 40s so that they no longer have to work. In today's article, Dr. Mark Roberts offers a thoughtful biblical analysis of the FIRE movement. What can we affirm, what can we critique, and how does it square with a biblical vision for investing?On this episode:Matt Galyon, Associate Director, ECFI Mark D.

Economic activity is the result of human labor. Though technology has increasingly depersonalized economic exchange, it is still a fundamental truth that work cannot be separated from the worker. The two exist in a symbiotic relationship.We often acknowledge one side of this relationship: work as a product of the worker. We see quality cabinetry as the product of a skilled carpenter and a beautiful song as the product of a talented musician. But have you ever considered the other side of this relationship: that the worker is also a product of the work that they do?In today's podcast, Dr. Jordan Ballor returns to the Journal with an article exploring the dual nature of work, giving special attention to this “subjective” dimension of work. He shares how labor shapes the human soul, And the implications for this reality on how we should think about the practices of the companies we support through our investments.On this episode:Matt Galyon, Associate Director, ECFIJordan Ballor, Research Director, Center for Religion, Culture & DemocracyNotes & Links: View our Courses The communication herein is provided for informational purposes only and was made possible with the financial support of Eventide Asset Management, LLC (“Eventide”), an investment adviser.

Today we are back with the second installment of Winn Collier's two-part piece, “Shepherding Clients | Pastoral Wisdom for Financial Advisors.” In his first piece, Winn encouraged financial advisors to view their work as a ministry by keeping God at the center, listening well, and inviting clients into a larger story.This work, however, is not always easy. As important and fulfilling as it may be, shepherding clients through moments of significant change and anxiety can often feel heavy. What do you do when you fail, when clients don't respond, or when the burdens seem too heavy to carry? In his piece today Winn walks with us through these difficulties and then lovingly calls us to remember that our shepherding is always meant to be led and sustained by the Good Shepherd.On this episode:Matt Galyon, Associate Director, ECFIWinn Collier, Director, Eugene Peterson Center for Christian Imagination, Western Theological SeminaryNotes & Links:View our CoursesThe communication herein is provided for informational purposes only and was made possible with the financial support of Eventide Asset Management, LLC (“Eventide”), an investment adviser.

If you are a financial advisor, or a client of one, then you likely know that good advising requires a certain level of relationship with the client. To understand how to wisely steward a client's resources, the advisor must understand the client themselves. For the Christian financial advisor, this patient pursuit of wise personal guidance shares a—perhaps surprising—resemblance to pastoral work. Our next two episodes feature articles from former financial professional turned pastor Winn Collier. In these articles, Winn seeks to come alongside financial advisors and show them how they can shepherd their client. To borrow the language from the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 4:12, these pieces hope to “equip the [financial advisor] saints for the work of ministry.”If you're not an advisor, we encourage you to listen along as well, as Winn's counsel to financial advisors regarding their clients can apply more broadly to bringing a ministerial mindset to all of our relationships.On this episode:Matt Galyon, Associate Director, ECFI Winn Collier, Director, Eugene Peterson Center for Christian Imagination, Western Theological Seminary Notes & Links: View our Courses These communication herein is provided for informational purposes only and was made possible with the financial support of Eventide Asset Management, LLC (“Eventide”), an investment adviser.

In a previous episode, New Testament professor Jonathan Moo pointed out the connection between the words ecology, economics, and stewardship.Moo noted that "ecology" is derived from the Greek word oikos which means “home.” "Economics" is derived from "oikonomia" which means "management of home." And "steward" is derived from "oikonomoi," the one who is entrusted with managing the home.It is this more expansive meaning of the word stewardship—and the implications it has on how we think about investing—that we're going to hear about today. For more background on the broader understanding of the scope of "home" in oikinomia, see: What Did the Ancient Greeks Mean by Okonomia? | by Dotan Leshem Oikonomia as "Ethical Accommodation" in the Fathers, and its Pagan Backgrounds | by J.

Today, we are pleased to present the final podcast in our series centered around James K.A. Smith's thesis that our habits and practices shape our hearts. Last week, Amy Sherman and Jason Myhre dove deeper into the relevancy of this idea to our cultural practices in the world of investing. But you may be wondering how it impacts your own life. In today's article, Dr. Amy Sherman takes a look at a number of common modern day financial behaviors and their subsequent effects on our heart. What is the spiritual impact of constant market-monitoring? What about the pursuit of profit above all else? After exploring the ways these cultural financial liturgies can shape the human heart, Amy offers up some alternative practices: counter-formational activities that depart from the world's patterns and direct our hearts toward the ways of God instead.On this episode:Matt Galyon, Associate Director, ECFIAmy Sherman, Editor-at-Large, ECFINotes & Links:View our CoursesThese communication herein is provided for informational purposes only and was made possible with the financial support of Eventide Asset Management, LLC (“Eventide”), an investment adviser.

The book of Romans has been praised by theologians as a masterful explanation of the doctrine of salvation. Martin Luther in fact called the book “the clearest gospel of all.” The bulk of Romans, chapters 1-11, consists of Paul explaining how God has acted in Christ to reconcile sinners to himself and grant them eternal life through his Spirit. But in chapter 12, Paul get's practical for the believers in Rome. Commentator Douglas Moo, says that in chapters 12-15 Paul “urges Christians to manifest the power of the gospel in specific areas of day-to-day life.” It is within this context that we find, in Romans 12:9 a key admonition toward gospel living: “Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.”In today's article, Matt Rusten explores how this admonition towards gospel living applies to our immediate day-to-day lives in the world of investing. What does this admonition have to say about the way we allow the gospel to transform our lives as investors?On this episode:Matt Galyon, Associate Director, ECFI Matt Rusten, President, Made to Flourish Notes & Links: View our Courses These communication herein is provided for informational purposes only and was made possible with the financial support of Eventide Asset Management, LLC (“Eventide”), an investment adviser.

Over one third of the Psalms are laments: songs or prayers that cry out in an expression of sorrow, mourning, or regret. Many of these laments are outward expressions of inward suffering, like in Psalm 25 when King David cries out, “The troubles of my heart are enlarged; bring me out of my distresses.” Yet that is not the only kind of lament we see. Like Psalm 10, some laments are outward cries on behalf of the suffering and injustice we see in the world. In today's article, Dr. Amy Sherman explores what it would look like to bring this type of lament to the world of business and investing. On this episode:Matt Galyon, Associate Director, ECFI Amy Sherman, Editor-at-Large, ECFI Notes & Links: View our Courses These communication herein is provided for informational purposes only and was made possible with the financial support of Eventide Asset Management, LLC (“Eventide”), an investment adviser.

In Mark 12:31, Jesus says that the second greatest commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself. This call to neighborly love, along with the preceding primary command to love God with mind, body, and soul, is a beautifully succinct summation of the moral law. Yet despite its rhetorical simplicity, the practical application of this command can often feel impossibly complex. This is especially true when it comes to financial and investment decisions: how do we economically love our neighbors?In today's episode, we feature an article by Dr. Tom Nelson that seeks to try and help us answer this question by looking at four strategies we can consider for increasing our capacity for neighborly love.On this episode:Matt Galyon, Associate Director, ECFI Tom Nelson, President, Made to Flourish Notes & Links: View our Courses These communication herein is provided for informational purposes only and was made possible with the financial support of Eventide Asset Management, LLC (“Eventide”), an investment adviser.

God's story for humanity begins in a garden but ends with a city. Have you ever stopped to contemplate the overarching trajectory of the biblical narrative from garden to city? In the garden, we see God's good and beautiful natural creation, in a city, we have the cultural embodiment of human development. Why does the picture of God's place with his people change in this way from original creation to new creation? And what are the potential implications on what we produce in culture and support with our investments?Further Resources on Transformation of Creation:https://www.faithandinvesting.com/journal/creation-care-part-2/https://www.faithandinvesting.com/journal/creation-care-douglas-moo-jonathan-moo/ Ashford, Bruce Riley and Craig G.

One helpful way for developing a biblical worldview is by comparing and contrasting cultural idols with the biblical story. When it comes to the economic and financial domain, two dominant cultural idols are that of convenience and greed. In today's article from Will Sorrell, Will analyzes the ways these cultural idols manifest within our lives and then provides two biblical themes that help us combat these idols and pursue freedom and flourishing under God's economy.On this episode:Matt Galyon, Associate Director, ECFI Will Sorrell, Director of Values-based Investing, OneAscent Notes & Links: Part 1 of The Economy of God Series, "A Tale of Two Economies" View our Courses The communication herein is provided for informational purposes only and was made possible with the financial support of Eventide Asset Management, LLC (“Eventide”), an investment adviser.
