When we invest our hard-earned money, we naturally seek a financial return—but could there be other rewards as well?Faith-based investing offers more than just financial gains. Today, Finny Kuruvilla joins us to explore the deeper impact of aligning our investments with our values.Dr. Finny Kuruvilla serves as a Co-Chief Investment Officer, Senior Portfolio Manager, and founding member of Eventide Asset Management, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. He holds an M.D. from Harvard Medical School, a Ph.D. in Chemistry and Chemical Biology from Harvard University, a master's degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT, and a bachelor's degree from Caltech in Chemistry.Common Objections to Faith-Based InvestingIndeed, Christians might have different views on some of these, but here are three of the most common that Finny hears consistently:Objection 1: “I'm not responsible for the actions of the companies I invest in.”Many investors assume that purchasing stocks or mutual funds does not connect them to a company's actions. However, investing is ownership. When you purchase shares in a company—whether publicly traded or private—you become a partial owner.If you owned a small business and that business engaged in unethical practices, it would reflect on you. The same principle applies to publicly traded companies. As shareholders, we are tied to the actions and values of the companies we invest in.Objection 2: “What difference can I make? These companies are too big.”Some argue that individual investors cannot influence large corporations. However, history shows that even a small percentage of engaged investors can shape corporate values—just like voting in an election, where small margins can determine the outcome.Through shareholder engagement, faith-driven investors can influence corporate decision-making. Large companies respond to shareholder resolutions, and when values-aligned investors unite, they can steer businesses toward ethical practices.Objection 3: “Faith-based investing means I'll underperform financially.”A common concern is that limiting investment choices to faith-aligned companies will lead to lower returns. However, research suggests otherwise.Companies with strong ethical foundations—those that treat employees well, operate with integrity, and provide valuable goods and services—tend to outperform over the long term. Businesses that exploit customers or employees may see short-term gains but often struggle in the long run. Faith-based investing is not just morally sound—it's also financially strategic.The Three Benefits of Faith-Based Investing 1. Integrity: Investing with a Clear ConscienceThe foundation of faith-based investing is the principle of loving our neighbor. Jesus taught us to treat others as we want to be treated (Luke 6:31), and this applies to business and investing as well.Proverbs 1 warns against pursuing “ill-gotten gain,” or wealth that exploits others. Many mainstream funds include companies engaged in tobacco, gambling, and unethical labor practices.Investing with integrity means choosing companies that:Provide valuable goods and servicesTreat employees fairlyOperate with transparency and ethical leadershipBusiness should be about supplying goods and services—not exploiting people. Faith-based investing ensures that we support businesses that contribute to human flourishing.2. Impact: The Power of Faith-Driven InvestorsOne of the most compelling reasons for faith-based investing is the ability to make a real impact. History provides powerful examples of how Christian investors have shaped industries and social policies.A notable case is the role of Christian investors in ending apartheid in South Africa. In the 1970s, a group of faith-driven investors partnered with Reverend Leon Sullivan to pressure corporations like Ford and General Motors to implement anti-apartheid policies within their workplaces. These shareholder resolutions sparked a domino effect, leading other companies to follow suit.This example demonstrates that investors—when united and strategic—can drive significant cultural and ethical change. Today, faith-driven investors have opportunities to:Encourage companies to uphold biblical values in business operationsAvoid investing in industries that profit from addiction, exploitation, or human sufferingPromote corporate social responsibility by engaging in shareholder activism3. Performance: Ethical Investing Can Lead to Strong ReturnsMany assume that avoiding certain industries—such as gambling, pornography, or companies that oppose Christian values—means sacrificing returns. However, data suggests that companies with strong ethical principles actually perform better over time.Most investors define total return as:Share price return + dividend returnHowever, a biblical perspective expands total return to include:Financial return + integrity + impactInvesting in companies that operate with integrity and long-term vision leads to sustainable growth and reduced risk. Ethical companies that treat employees well, focus on quality products, and manage resources wisely often outperform businesses prioritizing short-term profits over long-term stability.How to Get Started with Faith-Based InvestingFor many believers, the idea of faith-aligned investing is a brand-new concept. They strive to honor God in spending, giving, and career choices, but they haven't considered how their investments align with their faith.Here's how to begin:Use screening tools—Many financial platforms provide tools to evaluate how investments align with Christian values. Work with faith-driven investment professionals—Christian financial advisors and fund managers can guide you toward biblically responsible portfolios. You can find a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) when you go to FaithFi.com and click "Find a Professional." Explore faith-based funds—Several firms specialize in faith-aligned investments. Eventide is one of many great options available. To find a complete list of faith-based investment funds and companies, visit faithandinvesting.com/faithfi.  Pray for wisdom—Ask God to guide your financial decisions, ensuring that your investments honor Him and advance His kingdom.Faith-based investing is more than a financial strategy—it's a movement. As more believers align their financial decisions with their faith, they contribute to a marketplace that reflects God's heart for justice, integrity, and human flourishing.When investors choose integrity, prioritize impact, and trust that God honors ethical investing, they participate in kingdom work that extends beyond their own lifetime.If you're ready to take the next step, learn more at EventideFunds.com. Faith-based investing isn't just about returns—it's about stewardship that glorifies God and blesses others.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My wife and I inherited a house from a family member, and it's out of state.

"The Distressor is an iconic piece of gear." Dave talked about his journey from musician to audio engineer, creating the iconic Distressor compressor, the role of distortion, harmonics, and thoughtful gear selection in achieving masterful audio mixing and production, and offered practical advice for aspiring recording engineers. Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.com My guest today is Dave Derr, a musician raised in a family of engineers destined to rock and make his mark on the recording industry. Dave started with studying classical piano, composition, and theory as a Music Major in college but still loved ripping solos on his '67 Gibson SG Special. This passion for music led him to a 12-year journey with the band Jack of Diamonds, touring the Philadelphia, Delaware, and Maryland areas. But Dave wasn't just rocking the stage—he was also the guy fixing the band's guitars, keyboard rigs, and PA systems. This hands-on experience sparked his path to becoming an Electronics Technician and eventually a studio engineer. Dave landed a gig at Eventide and worked alongside industry giants, contributing to the design of iconic gear like the H3000, H3500, and DSP4000. And after hours? He ran his own recording studio at home, refining his craft night and day. In 1994, Dave's talents culminated in the creation of the Distressor—a modern classic that's now a staple in major studios worldwide. Empirical Labs now has over 42,000 Distressors sold and an entire line of analog processors and digital plugins and their latest creation, the PUMP, a powerful 500 Series compressor based on the Distressor is breaking new ground for getting killer sounds in the studio or out in the field. I am super excited to have Dave Derr joining us on the podcast today. This is a big day for me, the show, and definitely a bucket list interview!

Beauty matters to painters, musicians, and photographers, but what does it have to do with investing? The creation account suggests that beauty is also at the core of faithful stewardship and investing. Today, we'll discuss “Investing in Beautiful” with Jason Myhre of the Eventide Center for Faith & Investing.Jason Myhre is the Executive Director of the Eventide Center for Faith & Investing, an educational initiative of Eventide Asset Management, and an underwriter of Faith & Finance. The Experience of BeautyWe all encounter beauty in various forms—an orchestral performance, a mountain hike, a beach stroll, or even a bouquet of flowers at home. However, we seldom consider the role of beauty in our work or finances. Beauty is integral to creation and essential in our stewardship of God's world.In Genesis, God is depicted as a worker, creating the heavens and the earth and declaring His creation "very good." The Hebrew word for "good" encompasses moral perfection, functional excellence, and surpassing beauty—a concept better captured by the compound word "beauty-good." God, as a master artisan, crafted a world full of potential and delight.Humanity is called to contribute to the beauty and goodness of creation through work. Genesis 2:15 says, “Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and tend it.” This passage indicates that humans are to make God's creation even better. God's creation is full of hidden potential, like seeds, waiting for us to uncover and develop it through our work.Uncovering Creation's PotentialConsider simple examples like bread and wine. God created grain with the potential to become bread and grapes with the potential to become wine. These transformations reveal the hidden potential within creation, brought to fruition through human work.A more sophisticated example relevant today is semiconductors, which are essential for our smart devices and computers. The fundamental material for semiconductors is sand. Kristen Say from Eventide Asset Management aptly describes it: “With semiconductors, we're taking sand and teaching it to think.” This potential was embedded in creation from the beginning, waiting for us to uncover and develop it.Theologian Craig Bartholomew also offers a powerful analogy: Imagine being a sculptor and receiving a call from Michelangelo asking you to complete a sculpture he started. This mirrors our role in God's creation: to finish and enhance the work God began, thereby revealing all its hidden beauty and goodness and glorifying God as the ultimate Creator.Applying This Vision to Business and InvestingAs Christians with a biblical worldview, we must view business and investing through the lens of this divine vision. The Genesis instructions for developing the beauty and goodness of creation still apply to us today. Businesses are called to create products and services that are genuinely good and that truly serve humanity. Investors play a crucial role by supplying the capital that enables and expands the good work of businesses.When contemplating investments, we should ask whether the companies we invest in create goods and services that enhance the world or harm God's creation. Embracing this perspective helps align our investments with our faith, ensuring they contribute positively to God's world.Faith-Based InvestingThe good news is that the faith-based investing movement is growing. Numerous Christian faith-based investments now help us avoid companies whose products contradict biblical values while supporting those that meet human needs and enhance the world.Understanding and developing the hidden potential in God's creation is a profound aspect of our work and investments. By aligning our investments with Christian values, we honor God and contribute to the ongoing revelation of His creation's beauty and goodness.To learn more about faith-based investment resources and to find a list of faith-based investment options, visit faithandinvesting.com/faithfi.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 71 and recently lost my 77-year-old husband.

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.

  I have been on a huge sequencer/Berlin-school bender for the last few months. I think it goes back to Paul's train mix back in May. Through that mix I found the music of Gert Blokzijl - https://gertblokzijl.bandcamp.com/.  I gobbled up a number of his albums immediately. Then last month I discovered the music of Martin Stürtzer - https://phelios.bandcamp.com/  He's got a ton of stuff out there and it's all good. I'm not sure how I missed him until now, but I'm glad I found him.  While listening to all this music I just knew I had to create a mix full of sequencer or Berlin-school tracks.

“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” - Ephesians 2:10Our good works are not for our sake but for God's sake, to give Him glory. Investing gives us a powerful way to do that. Today, we'll talk with Dr. Finny Kuruvilla about investing to change the world.Dr. Finny Kuruvilla is the Co-Chief Investment Officer and Founding Member of Eventide Asset Management, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. He holds an MD from Harvard Medical School, a PhD in Chemistry and Chemical Biology from Harvard University, a master's degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT, and a bachelor's degree from Caltech in Chemistry.The Purpose of InvestingInvesting has always been about supplying capital to businesses. This concept originated in the 1400s and 1500s with the rise of corporations, particularly those financing maritime trade. Investing primarily aims to fund companies to help them do good work. However, this purpose can be perverted to support businesses that go against God's design for humanity. Hence, it's crucial to remember that investing should always aim to fund ethical companies.Investing as OwnershipWhen you invest, you become a part-owner of a company, which carries an ethical responsibility. Like owning a small business, you are accountable for the actions of the companies you invest in. This ownership confers a duty to ensure these businesses align with your values and promote good.Integrity in InvestingRomans 12:9 states, "Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good." This principle applies to investing as well. To maintain integrity, you should avoid profiting from industries that contradict your values, such as pornography or tobacco. Instead, invest in businesses that advance the common good, like those making significant strides in healthcare and biotechnology.For example, advances in treatments for leukemia have dramatically increased children's survival rates, thanks to innovative companies in the healthcare sector. These companies exemplify how investment capital can drive significant positive outcomes.Performance and OutperformanceInvesting in businesses that promote the common good can lead to long-term outperformance. Studies, like those referenced in Fred Reichheld's "Winning on Purpose" and Alex Edmans' "Grow the Pie," show that companies adding value to their stakeholders often outperform their peers. This approach aligns with the biblical principle of loving your neighbor and can result in superior long-term returns.Eventide's ApproachEventide uses a framework called Business 360 to evaluate how companies interact with various stakeholders, including customers, employees, and the community. By focusing on companies excelling in value creation, Eventide aims to identify businesses aligned with promoting the global common good and likely to outperform over the long term.The future is bright for Faith-Based Investing because of the growing awareness in faith-based and secular circles that investing inherently involves ethical considerations. This awareness will lead to more opportunities to use investment dollars constructively, promoting values that align with a vision for a better world.Investing with integrity means aligning your investments with your values and ethical responsibilities. As Christians, this involves avoiding industries that contradict biblical principles and supporting those that advance the common good. Doing so can achieve both financial returns and a positive global impact. To learn more about this approach to investing, visit Eventide Funds.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I heard somewhere that you can take 4% a year out of your 401(k)s, and they should last you, but I'm looking for information like that.

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.

Beauty matters to painters, musicians, and photographers, but what does it have to do with investing? The creation account suggests that beauty is also at the core of faithful stewardship and investing. Today, we'll discuss “Investing in Beautiful” with Jason Myhre of the Eventide Center for Faith & Investing.Jason Myhre is the Executive Director of the Eventide Center for Faith & Investing, an educational initiative of Eventide Asset Management, and an underwriter of Faith & Finance. The Experience of BeautyWe all encounter beauty in various forms—an orchestral performance, a mountain hike, a beach stroll, or even a bouquet of flowers at home. However, we seldom consider the role of beauty in our work or finances. Beauty is integral to creation and essential in our stewardship of God's world.In Genesis, God is depicted as a worker, creating the heavens and the earth and declaring His creation "very good." The Hebrew word for "good" encompasses moral perfection, functional excellence, and surpassing beauty—a concept better captured by the compound word "beauty-good." God, as a master artisan, crafted a world full of potential and delight.Humanity is called to contribute to the beauty and goodness of creation through work. Genesis 2:15 says, “Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and tend it.” This passage indicates that humans are to make God's creation even better. God's creation is full of hidden potential, like seeds, waiting for us to uncover and develop it through our work.Uncovering Creation's PotentialConsider simple examples like bread and wine. God created grain with the potential to become bread and grapes with the potential to become wine. These transformations reveal the hidden potential within creation, brought to fruition through human work.A more sophisticated example relevant today is semiconductors, which are essential for our smart devices and computers. The fundamental material for semiconductors is sand. Kristen Say from Eventide Asset Management aptly describes it: “With semiconductors, we're taking sand and teaching it to think.” This potential was embedded in creation from the beginning, waiting for us to uncover and develop it.Theologian Craig Bartholomew also offers a powerful analogy: Imagine being a sculptor and receiving a call from Michelangelo, who asks you to complete a sculpture he started. This mirrors our role in God's creation: to finish and enhance the work God began, thereby revealing all its hidden beauty and goodness and glorifying God as the ultimate Creator.Applying This Vision to Business and InvestingAs Christians with a biblical worldview, we must view business and investing through the lens of this divine vision. The Genesis instructions for developing the beauty and goodness of creation still apply to us today. Businesses are called to create products and services that are genuinely good, and that truly serve humanity. Investors play a crucial role by supplying the capital that enables and expands the good work of businesses.When contemplating investments, we should ask whether the companies we invest in create goods and services that enhance the world or harm God's creation. Embracing this perspective helps align our investments with our faith, ensuring they contribute positively to God's world.Faith-Based InvestingThe good news is that the faith-based investing movement is growing. Numerous Christian faith-based investments now help us avoid companies whose products contradict biblical values while supporting those that meet human needs and enhance the world.Understanding and developing the hidden potential in God's creation is a profound aspect of our work and investments. By aligning our investments with Christian values, we honor God and contribute to the ongoing revelation of His creation's beauty and goodness.To learn more about faith-based investment resources and to find a list of faith-based investment options, visit faithandinvesting.com/faithfi.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:A close family member is dealing with excessive medical debt that totals around $200,000.

In this episode, we have a special guest, Lans Slack, to explore biblically responsible investing. Imagine a world where we align our investments with our faith and values. Suddenly our financial decisions have far-reaching impacts on culture. Lans has 30 years of experience in the financial services industry and is currently the Senior Vice President at Eventide Investments.  With a rich family background in finance and a deep commitment to his faith, Lans brings exceptional insights to our conversation today. Tune in to discover practical strategies for making faith-aligned financial decisions.   In this episode, John and Lans Slack discuss:  Exploring the foundations of biblically responsible investing (BRI) The history of faith-based investing The impact of investments on culture and society Emerging trends in faith-based investing    Key Takeaways: Biblically responsible investing (BRI) goes beyond financial returns. The focus is on aligning investments with one's faith and values to reflect beliefs and positively influence culture. Faith-based investing has historical roots in biblical teachings and aims to steward resources wisely to promote ethical business practices and societal benefits. With BRI, believers can view their financial decisions as acts of worship, integrating their values into their economic activities and fostering a sense of purpose and community. The future of faith-based investing lies in embracing and engaging with companies that create value and address societal challenges. This will enable investors to contribute to solutions that benefit both society and the environment.    “As we think about work, as we think about investing, as we think about life, we get the opportunity to cultivate and keep all of creation and all of culture.”  — Lans Slack   CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!

Romans 12:9 says, “Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.” It may not be intuitive, but this verse is a compelling guide for applying our faith to our investment decisions. We'll talk with Jason Myhre today about how we can love without hypocrisy as we invest our money.Jason Myhre is the Executive Director of the Eventide Center for Faith & Investing, an educational initiative of Eventide Asset Management, and an underwriter of Faith & Finance. Bringing Faith into Investing: A Deeper LookThe phrase, “Let love be without hypocrisy,” challenges us to ensure our love is genuine. In Paul's time, hypocrisy referred to actors wearing masks and pretending to be someone else. Similarly, our love must be real, not a façade. As Christians, the greatest commandment is to love God and our neighbors authentically. This principle extends to our investments, calling us to invest with genuine love and integrity.Recognizing Good and EvilPaul's guidance on what real love looks like—abhorring evil and clinging to good—provides a litmus test for our actions. Genuine Christian love passionately opposes evil and fervently supports good. In the context of investing, this means avoiding investments in companies that engage in harmful practices and supporting those that contribute positively to society.Three Key Takeaways For Faith-Based Investing1. Add Moral DiscernmentTraditional investing focuses on risk and return. However, as Christians, we should prioritize moral discernment. When investing, we are supporting real businesses with real-world impacts. Recognizing the moral dimensions of these businesses is crucial. We must look beyond the numbers and assess the ethical implications of our investments.2. Avoid Harmful InvestmentsWhile not every investment decision is clear-cut, some areas are easier to discern. The Christian investment community consistently recommends avoiding companies involved in abortion, tobacco, pornography, gambling, and alcohol. These industries are consistently identified as morally problematic. Faith-based investing can guide us in steering clear of such entanglements.3. Embrace Good InvestmentsMany businesses produce goods and services that benefit society. As investors, we should actively seek out and support these companies. Investing in businesses that align with our values allows us to live out the love described in Romans 12:9.Taking the Next StepTo help you apply these principles, Eventide Center for Faith and Investing has created a resource listing faith-based investment products that align with Romans 12:9. You can access this resource at faithandinvesting.com/faithfi.By integrating faith into our investment decisions, we can honor God and contribute to a more just and loving world. Let's strive to invest with authenticity, discernment, and a commitment to good, reflecting our Christian values in every financial choice we make.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I currently have a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with my husband, and we're looking to upgrade it because my parents are planning on moving in with me. We're selling our current home and plan on having $260,000 as a deposit somewhere. Our ballpark is around $500,000, but finding a four-bedroom at that price point is a little tricky. In the worst case, we'd be willing to go up to about $540,000, but that's about 30% of our take-home expenses. 25% is the ideal, and I wanted your thoughts on that.What documentation does the IRS need from a church for me to claim a deduction for tithes paid last year? We tithed to a church last year and then changed churches. However, we didn't receive documentation of giving from the church we left.

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.

Shaun Morgan is the Director of Product Marketing at Eventide Asset Management, an underwriter of this program. IS THERE A NEED TO REBRAND "FAITH-BASED INVESTING"?Shaun Morgan discusses the ambiguous understanding of "Faith-Based Investing" among investors who consider faith important in their lives. Eventide's survey reveals that terms like "Values-Based Investing" and "Faith-Based Investing" often lead to neutral or unfamiliar responses, suggesting a gap in communication and understanding.The term "Faith-Based Investing" does not resonate strongly with many, even those who prioritize their faith.A survey indicates a general lack of awareness and understanding about investing terms related to faith and values.Neutral responses to these terms suggest a need for clearer definitions and more effective communication. WHAT INSIGHTS DID THE SURVEY PROVIDE ABOUT INVESTORS' PREFERENCES?The survey unearthed significant preferences among investors for companies aligned with their values, particularly regarding unethical practices. A substantial majority expressed willingness to divest from companies involved in objectionable activities, such as profiting from pornography or exploiting child labor.Many respondents were unaware of terms like "Faith-Based Investing," yet showed a clear preference for ethically aligned investments.Specific concerns, such as exploitation and unethical business practices, elicited strong reactions and a willingness to act.The feedback suggests a latent demand for investment options that are more closely aligned with personal and ethical values. HOW DO INVESTORS FEEL ABOUT CHANGING FINANCIAL ADVISORS FOR VALUE ALIGNMENT?Surprisingly, a significant portion of investors indicated they would change financial advisors to access investments that align with their values. This willingness underscores a substantial gap in the current advisory landscape, where many advisors may not adequately address their clients' desires for values-aligned investing.A notable percentage of investors would consider switching advisors for better alignment with their values.The survey revealed that many advisors do not discuss values-based or faith-based investing options with their clients.This finding suggests a strong, unmet demand for financial advice that incorporates personal values and ethical considerations. WHAT ARE THE KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR FINANCIAL ADVISORS?The survey offers critical insights for financial advisors on approaching the topic of values-based and faith-based investing with their clients. It highlights the importance of not assuming clients are familiar with these concepts and suggests that engaging in meaningful conversations about values in investing can deepen client relationships.Financial advisors should proactively discuss values-aligned investing options with their clients.There is a significant educational gap among both investors and advisors regarding faith-based and values-based investing.Advisors who address this gap and actively engage clients on values-aligned investing may enhance client satisfaction and loyalty. CONCLUSIONThis survey gives us insight into how advisors can talk to investors about "faith-based" or "values-based" investing. Overall, Eventide figured out that these terms carry a lot more weight when you describe what they mean.But people DO care about what they are investing in, and advisors can really show that they care about their clients by having these conversations with them. DISCLOSURE: Based on a survey of 1,479 respondents who self-identified as committed Christians (defined as having a Christian faith that is important in their life), ages 30+, with a minimum $100K investable assets or $75K household income. 54% of respondents indicate they have a financial advisor. 62% of respondents who have a financial advisor would be willing to change financial advisors in order to get access to investments that align with their values.

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.

Andrzej Krzywda discusses event sourcing, event-driven architecture, and Domain-Driven Design (DDD) in the context of Ruby on Rails applications. He explains the concept of bounded contexts and how they relate to communication between different modules. He also shares insights on when and why to apply DDD to Rails applications, particularly in cases where the application becomes complex and difficult to maintain. Andrzej explores the challenges and benefits of migrating an existing Rails app to an event-driven architecture and highlights advanced event sourcing concepts such as snapshotting, projections, and versioning. In this conversation, Andrzej Krzywda discusses event sourcing and DDD in Rails applications. He explains the concepts of snapshotting and projection, which are techniques used to optimize performance and retrieve specific data from event streams. Andrzej also delves into the challenges of event versioning and how it can be managed in Rails applications. Additionally, he shares insights about the wroclove.rb conference, its history, and its focus on advanced and deep technical topics.TakeawaysEvent sourcing is a persistence mechanism that persists all the little changes that happen to a specific object, while event-driven architecture is a way of building software modules that communicate with events.DDD involves splitting a system into contexts or domains and using events to communicate between them. It can be applied to Ruby on Rails applications, particularly in cases where the application becomes complex and difficult to maintain.Migrating an existing Rails app to an event-driven architecture can help address issues with large classes, complex associations, and lack of modularity.Advanced event sourcing concepts such as snapshotting, projections, and versioning can be used to optimize performance and manage data integrity in event-driven applications. Snapshotting and projection are techniques used in event sourcing to optimize performance and retrieve specific data from event streams.Event versioning is a challenge in event sourcing, but it can be managed by introducing new event versions and implementing upcasters to convert old events to new versions.wroclove.rb is a Ruby and Rails conference in Wrocław, Poland, that focuses on advanced and deep technical topics.The conference aims to inspire, educate, and challenge the status quo in the Ruby and Rails community.Rails Event Store and Eventide are two libraries that facilitate the implementation of event-driven architectures in Rails applications, each with its own philosophy and approach.wcrolove.rb Ruby and Rails ConferenceRailsEventStoreArkencyRails Architect Masterclass[Video] Event Sourcing Demystified: A Simple-To-Understand Guide

In 2018 the H9000 Harmonizer®, Eventide's flagship multi effects processor, won a TEC award for best signal processing hardware. We had the team behind the H9000's design and development on the podcast in Episodes #66.1, #66.2 and #66.3 to talk about the process of designing, building, and testing the latest in Eventide's revered Harmonizer line. Now we're back to talk about what's new at Eventide and the 2023 TEC award for best signal processing software awarded to their revolutionary equalizer plugin, SplitEQ. Russell Wedelich is the VP of development and director of signal processing at Eventide and had a heavy hand in writing the DSP code that went into the H9000. He's also the lead DSP engineer responsible for the SplitEQ plugin and its patented technology. Russ and I got to chat about what went into developing SplitEQ, the new Eventide H90 Harmonizer pedal, and the culture that makes Eventide so consistently innovative. For more from Russell and the rest of the H9000 team check out Gear Club Episodes #66.1, #66.2 and #66.3.

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.

This is it! The dorks are doing the final pre-Mythic expansion, Eventide, for Mythic Conscription! This was a fun one, as we have a lot of nostalgia for Eventide. There's also a really good discussion about swapping the power level for two hybrid cycles from the previous set. Be sure to let us know what you think! This is really bizarre to say. We started Mythic Conscription waaaaay back in 2015. We are still going to do something with base/core sets, but absolutely not all of them. But as far as regular expansions go...we're done. It's so weird to not have a list of sets to fall back on. Come join us in the future!

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.

WHAT IS ALPHA IN INVESTING, AND CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE FIRST THREE SOURCES OF IT?Alpha refers to an investor making higher returns than the overall market.The first source is having access to superior information, like fundamental investors using detailed research.The second source is better processing of information, where quantitative investors use models and patterns.The third source involves exploiting irrational behavioral biases in other investors, like investing contrary to market trends. EVENTIDE NOW SUGGESTS A FOURTH SOURCE OF ALPHA. WHAT IS IT?The fourth source comes from a biblical worldview, focusing on why to invest, not just how.It involves assessing if a business's product or service contributes to human flourishing and cares for all its stakeholders.This approach aligns with loving God and neighbors, seeing the purpose of business as serving people. HOW DOES THIS FOURTH SOURCE OF ALPHA APPLY IN REAL BUSINESS EXAMPLES?A positive example is a lab instrument company that invests in its employees and prioritizes customer service, leading to better products and loyalty.A negative example is a pharma company that extracted value by hiking drug prices without adding real value, ultimately leading to its downfall.This approach contrasts companies that create real value with those that merely extract value from society. HOW DOES EVENTIDE USE THIS VALUE CREATION LENS TO ACHIEVE ALPHA, AND DOES IT COMPROMISE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE?Eventide rejects the false dichotomy between biblical virtues and business success.The company values qualities like kindness and servant leadership, increasingly recognized as good business practices.They focus on how companies treat their stakeholders, believing it leads to sustainable business success.This approach grows the business pie, benefiting all stakeholders and leading to long-term success. Learn more at eventideinvestments.com. ON TODAY'S PROGRAM, ROB ALSO ANSWERS LISTENER QUESTIONS:I'm not sure which student loan repayment option to choose: the income-driven repayment plan where the loan can't be forgiven, or the term-based plan with fixed payments and potential loan forgiveness.I just had a baby and have about $5,000 in medical bills; I'm wondering if it's better to save up and pay off these bills in full or to pay in segments while building an emergency fund. Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Some investment strategies are active, while others are passive. And investors using the more active approaches often strategize to make higher returns than the rest of the market—a concept referred to as “alpha.” On today's Faith & Finance Live, host Rob West will talk to Shaun Morgan from Eventide about a 4th source of alpha that Christian investors may want to consider.

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.
