POPULARITY
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.

REWIND UPDATE: Just a short 32 months ago (!!!) I interviewed the spectacular ER Doctor, Candice Myhre, who saves surfers and regular humans from death and destruction on the regular. In that episode, she mentioned a book she was planning to write, and now she's done it! Well, ALMOST done it! Her manuscript for Sex, Surf, Sutures, Scars: A Surf Doctor's Story of Love and Trauma in the Lineup is in the final editing stages, book proposal is finito, and she has been firing it off to literary agents. She continues to create mermazing stories in her everyday life, and uplift women in life and play!ORIGINAL NOTES: Today's guest is Dr. Candice Myhre, @drcandysurfvival, surf doctor, ER doctor, mermazing surfer, and champion for equality for women in two male-dominated arenas - medicine and surfing. Coming from a surf city where women were not welcome in the lineup, it took a friend flaking on her to send her on the adventure that would change the trajectory of her life, help her through the rigors of medical residency, and learn that everything is timing. Trained as an ER doctor, Candice followed her passion to become a surf doctor on remote islands around the world, with mottos like “will work for surf” and “expert in the unexpected.” Her most harrowing rescue will have your heart pumping! When she accidentally landed on front pages for her posts about #medbikini, she found herself on the podium championing equality for women in medicine, which she handles with both directness and humor. This is just a peek into an extraordinary life! Her new book, Sex, Surf, Sutures, Scars: A Surf Doctor's Story of Love and Trauma in the Lineup should be out next summer and will be an absolute page-turner!
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. We've tried to contact the church but haven't got a response.Resources Mentioned:Eventide Center for Faith & InvestingList of Faith-Based Funds (By ECFI)Rich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Henrik ligger ikke på latsiden selv om Tor er borte og serverer en time stappet med løpesko, egenskaper, karbonplate-detox, Berserker og håper på en fransk mustasje på startstreken i Paris. Med seg fra andre siden av Atlanteren har han friidrettsutøver Magnus Tuv Myhre som er på treningsleir i Flagstaff. Etter en ikke-knirkefri vinter med skade og sykdom er han forsiktig optimistisk for sesongen og har 5000 meter i kikkerten for både EM og OL. I kofferten har Magnus blant annet Deviate Nitro Elite 2, Deviate Nitro 3, Fast-R Nitro Elite 2, Liberate Nitro 2 og Foreverrun Nitro. Henrik graver i hvilke sko som brukes til hva og liker det han hører, men etterlyser sin Puma-favoritt, Velocity Nitro 3. I det Magnus legger ut på treningsøkt ringer Henrik opp Product Manager i Puma, Conor Cashin i Boston. Han har vært aktiv løper i en årrekke og har Asics Gel-Cumulus som all-time favorittsko, mens Puma Magnify Nitro 2 troner på topp om han skal velge fra dagens skopark. Conor setter spørsmålstegn til hvorvidt han kanskje er litt partisk iom det var den første skoen han var med på å utvikle fra start til slutt. Men det er jo er god løpesko så han holder på sitt.

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.

Pastor Walton is joined by Ryan and Nicole Myhre this week. They discuss their salvation, trying to find a good church, and eventual call to the ministry.
As His stewards, God gives us resources to manage according to His principles and purposes. But God has entrusted to us much more than money and possessions. We'll talk about that today with Jason Myhre.Jason Myhre, is Executive Director of the Eventide Center for Faith & Investing— an educational initiative of Eventide Asset Management and an underwriter of this program. Stewardship is the idea that nothing in our possession is actually ours. Instead, God is the rightful owner of all things. Psalms 24:1 says this very clearly, “The earth is the LORD's, AND EVERYTHING IN IT…” And in Hebrew there everything means everything haha. And this makes sense because God is the creator of all things.So stewardship is a way of seeing the things in our possession as actually belonging to God. The things we have in our possession are really God's things that he has entrusted to us. We are managers of God's things, or “stewards” of God's things.The reason this is important is that it can really free us the selfishness and acquisitiveness that is so endemic to life after the fall. All of us are prone to grasp after things and to hold them tightly. Stewardship can help us to be more content with the things in our lives and to open our hands in generosity to those in need.Stewardship can liberate us from the power that money can exert in our lives. And when we live in that freedom, it can be a powerful witness to the reality of God and his kingdom.IS YOUR VIEW OF STEWARDSHIP BIG ENOUGH? But many times, our vision of stewardship is too small. In practice, we tend to see stewardship in the following way:We ask ourselves, “What has God entrusted to us?” And then we take stock of our money and possessions. “Oh, I have this much in the bank, I have a house, I have two cars, I have my investments, etc.” We understand stewardship in terms of these things that God has placed in our immediate possession. And all of that is valid. But let's call this stewardship with a lowercase “s” – stewardship of the things in our immediate possession. Biblically, there is a much bigger sense of stewardship that we must come to see and understand: Stewardship with a capital “S”.THE BIGGER PICTURE OF STEWARDSHIPWe must remember that God has entrusted us with stewardship of his ENTIRE CREATION.In Genesis chapter one, when God creates humanity in his image, he commissions them to be royal stewards over everything he made. In verse 26 it says, “Let them rule…” “Let them reign…” “Let them have dominion…” and (verse 28) “…subdue the earth.” This is stewardship language.And so to go back to the stewardship question, “What has God entrusted to me?” In addition to the things in our immediate possession, we also have under our stewardship, in the language of Genesis one: The fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, livestock, animals … all of it. God made all things and then made us to be royal stewards over all those things! That's Stewardship with a capital “S”.HOW CAN WE APPLY THIS TO INVESTING DECISIONS? Just as there are two levels of stewardship, there are also two levels of investing.On one level, investing is about seeking a good return. That's the part of investing we're used to thinking about. And on another level, investing involves our supply of capital that supports a business. Our capital enlarges the work of the businesses we invest in. We amplify their activities and what they're doing in the world.With the smaller sense of stewardship, we understand that God has put these specific dollars in our care and we have to be wise. We have to seek to generate a good return on investing through prudent risk-taking.With the larger sense of stewardship, we understand that God has put the entire creation in our care and we have to be wise. We have to seek to enlarge the beauty and goodness and provision and flourishing of the creation with every decision we make. We have to see to generate a good return on God's creation such that the world is made even more the place of delight he created it to be. And so we have to be attentive to the kinds of companies we're investing in, and the impact of those companies in creation through their products and practices.The good news is that there is an entire industry of Christian faith-based investments that are seeking to pay attention to both sides of stewardship.For more information on faith-based investing, Jason Myhre put together a list of faith-based funds that listeners can download.

Beauty matters to painters, musicians, and photographers, but what does it have to do with investing? The creation account suggests that beauty lies at the core of faithful stewardship, and investing as well. We'll talk about “investing in beautiful” with Jason Myhre. Jason Myhre, Executive Director of the Eventide Center for Faith & Investing. The Eventide Center is an educational initiative of Eventide Asset Management and an underwriter of this program. Learn more about Jason Myhre and the Eventide Center for Faith & Investing at faithandinvesting.com. Investing is a word we tend to associate with money, retirement, risk, and return. But rarely – if ever – do we link the words “investing” and “beauty.” So why should we connect beauty with our approach to investing?Beauty is found when we attend an orchestral performance. When we hike the mountains or stroll along the beach. When we splurge on a bouquet of flowers to adorn our home. But rarely do we connect it with work, let alone with our finances or investing.BEAUTY IN WORK AND INVESTINGHowever, beauty matters for our work and our investing. Beauty is an essential characteristic of creation, which makes it central to our work as stewards of God's creation.We see beauty in the Genesis account of creation. God is portrayed there as a worker. He creates “the heavens and the earth.” Everything he makes is “good.” Seven times in Genesis 1. Of the whole of creation God sees that it is “very good.” And in the Hebrew derivation, the word for “good” used in Genesis 1 means not only moral perfection and functional excellence but surpassing beauty.A better translation would be a compound word, “beauty-good.”God is portrayed as a wise artisan, artfully crafting the world. This is also indicated by the word “Eden,” which means “delight.” So beauty is an essential aspect of God's work.As we reflect on the beauty and goodness of God's creation, we might think, who could add anything to the splendor and majesty of creation? And the bible here is very surprising. It tells us that we are to add to the beauty and goodness of the world through our work. THE BIBLE ON GOODNESS AND BEAUTY IN WORKWe see this in Genesis 2:15. God places humanity right there in that garden of delight and gives them the gift of work.Genesis 2:15, “Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and tend it.” Essentially, God placed humanity in his “very good” creation and told them to make it “even better” through the things that we make.If God's creation was already “very good” – if it was “perfect” – how can we improve on it? The answer is that God made the world full of potential. We know that God made the world beautiful and good. Part of that beauty is manifest in the things God made in creation – we can see it. And part of the beauty and goodness is hidden within creation, as a potential for us to uncover through our work. Easy examples are bread and wine. The grain that God creates has always had the potential to become bread. God placed that potential there so that we would discover it and make it manifest through our work. Or grapes that God makes have always had the potential to become wine through our work.Imagine that you are a sculptor. And imagine that one day you receive a phone call from Michelangelo the great sculptor. And Michelangelo says to you, “Look, I've just started work on this new sculpture, this major, major sculpture, but I want you to come and finish it for me. I want you to come and complete the sculpture and develop the potentials I've built into it so far so that when it is done the sculpture will enhance my reputation in the art world.” According to Genesis 1 and 2, that's what our work should be like.APPLYING IT TO THE MODERN WORLDLet's translate this biblical picture of work to the modern world of business and investing.We need to see the world of business and investing today in light of this biblical vision of work. The Genesis instructions to develop the beauty and goodness of creation are the same for humanity today. This is still God's design and desire for our work in business and investing.And so we must ask ourselves, how can the specific work of business and investing contribute the beauty and goodness of creation?Business is called to create products that are good. You know, we have this language for the products of business, we call them “goods” and “services.” And this is no accident. The products of business, in God's design, are intended to be genuinely “good.” And the products of business, in God's design, are intended to be a genuine “service” of humankind. Humanity through business is to create goods that are truly good and services that truly serve.BEAUTY IN INVESTINGInvestors are called to supply the capital that enables the work of good businesses. Investors are to supply the capital to enable and enlarge the work of business to create those goods and services.When we are contemplating our investing, we need to be asking, are the businesses that I will be investing in through this investment, are they businesses making products that are good? Are they providing a service that is truly a service? Are they making things that enhance the world? These are things we should embrace.And, understanding that we live in a fallen world, where this is now a marbled mix of good and evil and a marbled mix of beauty and ugliness, we must ask, are any of these companies that I would own through this investment destroying the beauty and goodness of the world? Are they diminishing and desecrating God's world? These are things we should avoid.That's a lot of responsibility. But the good news is that the faith-based investing movement continues to grow.There is a whole industry of Christian faith-based investments that's been raised up to make it easier for us to seek a biblical vision of work in business and investing today. These investments are mutual funds and ETFs just like common investments, but with specific Christian ethical criteria used for the selection of companies in the investments. For example, some are seeking to avoid companies whose products run counter to this biblical vision. Other investors are seeking to avoid the bad while also targeting the good— looking for companies whose products meet human needs and enhance the world.Eventide has put together two resources for Faith and Finance listeners. The first is an article on beauty and investing as discussed. The second is a list of the faith-based investments that are out there.

This week's podcast episode is a replay from a former season of the Dear NICU Mama podcast! As we continue our conversation of growing our families after the NICU, we wanted to make sure to re-share this episode as we know that many of us in this community find ourselves as one-and-done families. We hope that this podcast episode affirms the NICU mamas in our sisterhood that have decided or are making the decision to be a “one and done” family that your family building journey is celebrated and honored. At the end of the day you know what is best for your family and that is enough.- - - - For many NICU mothers, the decision on how and if to grow their family after NICU or birth trauma can be complex. And for some, the decision on whether or not they are able to grow their family via pregnancy was made for them due to emergency medical procedures or interventions. This decision can feel additionally complex when questions such as “When are you going to give your child a sibling?” arise in daily conversation, and outdated social assumptions made about only children still exist. But because of the work of communities like “Only You Podcast”, these social norms are changing!In this episode, Jess shares about her own preeclampsia journey, her daughter's PICU and medically complex journey, and how her and her husband decided together to be a “one and done” family. She also debunks many of the myths and misconceptions surrounding having an only child and hint - they thrive!About Jess: Pre-eclampsia survivor, NICU mama, co-host of Only You: A One and Done Podcast and mother of a two year old.

If Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, you could call these few weeks after Christmas the most *introspective* time of the year. This is a time when we can resolve to live with greater faith and purpose. And this should include our investing. We'll talk about that today with Jason Myhre. Jason Myhre is the executive director of the Eventide Center for Faith Investing, an educational initiative of Eventide Asset Management, and an underwriter of this program. The Bible tells us that the mercies of the Lord are new *every* morning (that's Lamentations 3:22-23). And if they're new every morning, how much more are the mercies of the Lord new with each new year we're granted life? On today's program, Myhre shares his own personal reflection and goal-setting exercise for us today. He says January is a great time for some personal assessment and goal-setting. ASSESSMENT AND GOAL-SETTING If you've ever done one of these new year assessments, you'll know that many of tools out there encourage us to break life down into different categories for reflection our finances, a category; our faith or spirituality, another category; our work goals; our family life; our health; fitness; recreation; hobbies; etc. Breaking things down like this into separate categories can be helpful in isolating parts of our lives for closer assessment and reflection, but it can also create divisions between our faith and parts of our lives, which are not really separate. For example, assessing our finances separate from our faith can lead us to miss the way in which financial decisions have very real moral and spiritual dimensions to them. Something I know Faith and Finance is all about. Faith should really be the lens through which we consider each area of our lives. And it's important to consider investing in this way. If we were to ask you to make a personal assessment of how well you think you're doing with your investing, where does your mind go? Most people's minds would go to things like, Am I saving *enough* for retirement?' That's the question that we're bombarded with in education on investing today. And we all feel behind and bad about it. Now, this is not a bad question to ask. And it can prompt spiritual reflection. Good stewardship after all involves planning, sacrifice, and diligence. And so that kind of question is not totally misguided. But still, there are other deeper, more incisive questions to consider. But even when we ask spiritual questions about our investments, sometimes we can still stay at the macro level. For example, if We were to ask you to do a spiritual assessment of your investing life, what would that bring to mind? For a lot of people, it would bring to mind questions about our vision for retirement whether we've bought too much into the mirage of the American dream of comfort and indulgence, and leisure. VALUES INVESTING It's also important to think about how our investments align with our values. Ben Nicka, one of the contributing authors at the Eventide Center for Faith amp; Investing, offers this investing examination: First, write down all your investments your stock investments, bonds, cash, or whatever and the rough percentage you have allocated to each. Next to each category, add a sentence detailing the rationale for the composition of your investments. For purposes of illustration, we'll share Ben Nicka's responses (with permission). Here is the list with corresponding rationales. ● Cash. 20%. Held at Synchrony Bank, which is convenient and pays high-interest rates. The 20% allocation is high but reflects skepticism about the markets and savings for a down payment. ● Stocks. 40%. Held primarily in low-fee index funds from The Vanguard Group. The rationale here is that index funds have generally shown to outperform most actively managed mutual funds on an after-fees, long-term, risk-adjusted basis. They are recommended for the average investor' by many investing experts, including Warren Buffet. ● Bonds. 20%. Held in mutual funds again managed by Vanguard. This allocation, perhaps high for Ben's age, again reflects his skepticism about the markets. ● And finally, a cash balance pension. 20%. Ben is very fortunate to have such a benefit at this employer. He has no knowledge or way to know how this pension is invested. What should be clear from Ben's investment illustration is the logic of his investments is clearly toward risk and return factors. But now, make a second list. On the second list, write down all your philanthropic investments, including the rationale, just like before with your investments. Again, we will offer Ben's own list, for illustration. ● Local church. 70% of giving. Ben says his local church plays an irreplaceable role in his family's and other families' lives and he is proud of his local church. ● The disadvantaged and unfortunate. 23% of giving. Here he gives to Open Hands Legal Services, which provides free legal representation in New York City, a city he has connections to, and pushes back on those using the law to abuse and exploit the needy. Also in this category is Jericho Ministries and Community Emergency Service, in Minneapolis, another city he's connected to, which provides goods and services to those in need, materially and spiritually. ● Another category. Giving to practical theology. 7%. This goes to Christian Counseling Education Foundation, which funds intellectual work and counseling in Philadelphia, and supported the work of one of Ben's favorite thinkers, Dr. David Powlison. ● And finally, a few miscellaneous gifts from bonus and tax returns. Which go to A House on Beekman, which serves children and families in South Bronx and a Christian formation center at the University of Minnesota called Anselm House. Now the introspective question is this. What do you notice when comparing the two lists and corresponding motives? It's clearly a very different thought process for each list. For Ben's philanthropic investments, he has a very detailed understanding of the activities of each organization he supports, and morally approves of, even boasts (in a good way I think) of their work, which he believes contributes to societal flourishing and justice. And if these organizations turned from their core convictions and commitments to serve, Ben conveyed that he would cease his investments. Now contrast that to his investments in stocks and bonds, etc. There he has no knowledge of the companies he is supporting, much less their activities. Why not? Because to invest in index funds is a passive approach to investing: he has handed over the ability to direct his investments to specific companies in favor of portfolios that track the broader markets more generally. Ben notes that his approach to equity and bond investing is also morally passive in that it entails simple indifference to the moral quality of the work performed by the companies he supports. His investment strategy considers only risk, return, and convenience. Notably, if he leaves his funds so invested until he retires, he will have supported the work of these unknown companies for nearly 50 years(!) without truly knowing or engaging with the inherent good or otherwise of their products and services or how they impact their customers, employees, suppliers, communities, or the environment reflecting simple indifference to the flourishing and justice (or their opposite) created and sustained by his investment. Again, these are his assessments. Ben's cash position invested in Synchrony Bank, boasts it is the largest provider of private label credit cards in the United States and that it also helps consumers finance clothing, jewelry, motorhomes, hobbies, and furniture. His cash holdings are being used for credit card and general consumer finance. Ben's personal conviction is that most credit card lending is morally reprehensible and along with nearly all consumer finance encourages unnecessary consumption. He was ignorant of the work his money at Synchrony was doing when he opened the account. However, when he did this assessment exercise, Ben noted that given the ease of discovering how his funds were being used, there is an air of moral culpability to his choice here. Hopefully this exercise reveals to us the difference between the way we choose our investments and the way we give our money to charitable causes. While it's appropriate and essential to consider risk and return for our investing decisions, the exercise also highlights a common blindspot with investing today. Namely that we often fail to consider the ways in which our investing has very real moral and spiritual dimensions. So, this assessment should lead us to ask ourselves, In this new year, how can my investing choices be guided more by my faith?' The goal of such an exercise is to get us to consider the ways in which our investing dollars are having an impact in the lives of our neighbors and the world, for better or for worse, through the specific businesses we support through our investments. And to desire to move our investing toward companies whose products and practices honor God and serve our neighbors and creation.

We're used to thinking about God as Creator, Savior, King, Shepherd, and Judge. But have you ever thought about God as an Investor? We'll talk about that today with investing professional Jason Myhre. Jason Myhre is Executive Director of the Eventide Center for Faith Investing, an educational initiative of Eventide Asset Management and an underwriter of MoneyWise. Myhre says one of the unique things about Scripture is that it gives us many different ways to think about God: God as our Father, Creator, Redeemer, Savior, King, Judge, Physician, Shepherd. And we could go on. But few of us have ever thought about God as Investor. As strange as that might sound, it's actually a biblical way of thinking about God and one that sheds unique light on God's work in creation and redemption. And that it also sheds unique light on our work as investors today. GOD AS INVESTOR' IN THE BIBLE In order for us to see this in the Bible, we first have to understand what investing originally meant. Today, we tend to understand investing as investing our money into companies in order to get, hopefully, a good financial return. But investing originally had a very different meaning, and one that is much more profound. Investing originally meant to clothe someone in the official robes of an office. Let's unpack that a bit. First, clothing. Investing was related to clothing. And we still have some remnants of this connection today. In very formal churches, for example, the pastor or priest wears a robe. And that robe is called a vestment. Vestment, investing, clothing you see the connection. Or think about a three-piece suit. You have the pants, jacket, and a vest. Vest, investing, clothing. So there's the clothing connection. Second, investing was to clothe someone else. Not yourself. Third, it was specifically work clothing. It was to clothe someone with the official robes of an office for a job. But don't think work uniform.' We're talking about dignified clothing, robes that signify highly important work. Queen Elizabeth II recently passed away. Think about her robes, which signified authority and power related to her office as queen. That's the idea here. So, investing originally meant to clothe someone in the official robes of an office. And, as it turns out, this is exactly what we see God doing when he creates humanity in his image. He invests in us. He clothes us for specific work. In fact, we see two kinds of clothes for two kinds of work. TWO KINDS OF CLOTHING FOR WORK The first is Royal Clothing, which we see in Genesis 1. There's a commissioning ceremony when God creates humanity in Genesis 1. And the language there is royal language God says let them rule or have dominion and subdue the earth. What this is describing is God is commissioning Adam and Eve to be his vice-regents, or under-rulers over his creation. In Psalm 8 we have King David reflecting on this commissioning ceremony in Genesis 1 and listen to what he says. He says, What is man that you are mindful of him? the son of man that you regard him? You have made him little lower than the heavenly court crowned him with glory and honor and put all things beneath his feet. This is royal language describing the robes of the office that God gave to us. And when it says that he put all things beneath the feet of humanity, this is a reference to the footstool of a king or queen. God has clothed us with royal clothing and granted us authority and power to rule over creation as his chosen representatives! And if you're astonished by that, well, so was King David he says, What is man that you are mindful of him? The son of man that you regard him? We are made in God's image. Part of the meaning of image is that were made royal stewards over God's beautiful and good creation The second kind of clothing for work is Religious Clothing. In Ezekiel 28 we read about Adam in the garden of Eden. And what we learn there is that the garden of Eden was no ordinary garden. It was actually God's Dwelling place it was his holy temple. And Adam is described there as the high priest in God's garden-of-Eden-temple. What's fascinating about that passage is that it goes into great detail describing Adam's clothing. It talks about Adam wearing a breastplate with all of these in-laid precious stones carnelian, chrysolite and emerald, topaz, onyx and jasper, lapis lazuli, turquoise and beryl. That might sound strange unless you know your Old Testament. Because if you've studied the temple of God in the Old Testament you realize that what's being described is the official robe of the high priest. The priest wore a long robe and a gold breastplate laid with rows of precious stones. And so in addition to being kings and queens, humanity was also made to be priests to God. Serving God and mediating his divine blessings to the rest of creation. God invested humanity with royal clothing and religious clothing. This is why the bible so often describes God's people as a royal priesthood or a kingly and priestly people. It is because invested us with his image and gave us authority and power to serve him in royal and religious ways. How does the Fall and Redemption play into this idea of investing? We know that God made humanity to be a royal priesthood. But almost as soon as the commissioning ceremonies were complete, humanity fails, and falls in sin. But, God in his infinite grace and mercy invests in humanity yet again. Think about what happens after Adam and Eve sin. They become aware that they are naked and try to sew fig leaves together to cover their nakedness. But then what does God do? He gives Adam and Eve new clothing. Specifically, he gives them sacrificial clothing. He covers them in the skins of animals, which was the first time something was killed in God's peaceful creation. God sacrifices in order to clothe the shame and guilt of Adam's and Eve's transgression. And this sacrificial clothing is a foreshadowing of the work of Jesus, who sacrificed his own life to cover the guilt of our sin. And the New Testament specifically talks about being clothed in Christ. And we're instructed to take off the clothes of the old sinful nature, and to put on the new clothes of righteousness in Christ. And the promise of the bible is that God's final sacrifice enables us to once again become the royal priesthood God made us to be. Isn't that so beautiful?! KEY TAKEAWAYS Think about investing today. Today, most investors are thinking only about what they get out of investing, which is the prospect of financial returns. But, as we've been discussing, investing should be about clothing someone else for noble work. This original meaning of investing (clothing someone else) can remind us of the fact that investing is really about supplying capital to a business in order for them to be empowered to fulfill their work in the world. When we invest our money we can think of it as clothing companies with capital so that they are enabled to pursue their mission in the world. And so, I think the take-away is for us to consider the companies we're investing in. We should be asking, "What businesses are doing good work that are worthy to be clothed with capital?"

There's a commissioning ceremony when God creates humanity in Genesis 1. And the language there is royal language God says let them rule or have dominion and subdue the earth. What this is describing is God is commissioning Adam and Eve to be his vice-regents, or under-rulers over his creation. In Psalm 8 we have King David reflecting on this commissioning ceremony in Genesis 1 and listen to what he says. He says, What is man that you are mindful of him? the son of man that you regard him? You have made him little lower than the heavenly court crowned him with glory and honor and put all things beneath his feet. This is royal language describing the robes of the office that God gave to us. And when it says that he put all things beneath the feet of humanity, this is a reference to the footstool of a king or queen. God has clothed us with royal clothing and granted us authority and power to rule over creation as his chosen representatives! And if you're astonished by that, well, so was King David he says, What is man that you are mindful of him? The son of man that you regard him? We are made in God's image. Part of the meaning of image is that were made royal stewards over God's beautiful and good creation The second kind of clothing for work is Religious Clothing. In Ezekiel 28 we read about Adam in the garden of Eden. And what we learn there is that the garden of Eden was no ordinary garden. It was actually God's Dwelling place it was his holy temple. And Adam is described there as the high priest in God's garden-of-Eden-temple. What's fascinating about that passage is that it goes into great detail describing Adam's clothing. It talks about Adam wearing a breastplate with all of these in-laid precious stones carnelian, chrysolite and emerald, topaz, onyx and jasper, lapis lazuli, turquoise and beryl. That might sound strange unless you know your Old Testament. Because if you've studied the temple of God in the Old Testament you realize that what's being described is the official robe of the high priest. The priest wore a long robe and a gold breastplate laid with rows of precious stones. And so in addition to being kings and queens, humanity was also made to be priests to God. Serving God and mediating his divine blessings to the rest of creation. God invested humanity with royal clothing and religious clothing. This is why the bible so often describes God's people as a royal priesthood or a kingly and priestly people. It is because invested us with his image and gave us authority and power to serve him in royal and religious ways. How does the Fall and Redemption play into this idea of investing? We know that God made humanity to be a royal priesthood. But almost as soon as the commissioning ceremonies were complete, humanity fails, and falls in sin. But, God in his infinite grace and mercy invests in humanity yet again. Think about what happens after Adam and Eve sin. They become aware that they are naked and try to sew fig leaves together to cover their nakedness. But then what does God do? He gives Adam and Eve new clothing. Specifically, he gives them sacrificial clothing. He covers them in the skins of animals, which was the first time something was killed in God's peaceful creation. God sacrifices in order to clothe the shame and guilt of Adam's and Eve's transgression. And this sacrificial clothing is a foreshadowing of the work of Jesus, who sacrificed his own life to cover the guilt of our sin. And the New Testament specifically talks about being clothed in Christ. And we're instructed to take off the clothes of the old sinful nature, and to put on the new clothes of righteousness in Christ. And the promise of the bible is that God's final sacrifice enables us to once again become the royal priesthood God made us to be. Isn't that so beautiful?! KEY TAKEAWAYS Think about investing today. Today, most investors are thinking only about what they get out of investing, which is the prospect of financial returns. But, as we've been discussing, investing should be about clothing someone else for noble work. This original meaning of investing (clothing someone else) can remind us of the fact that investing is really about supplying capital to a business in order for them to be empowered to fulfill their work in the world. When we invest our money we can think of it as clothing companies with capital so that they are enabled to pursue their mission in the world. And so, I think the take-away is for us to consider the companies we're investing in. We should be asking, "What businesses are doing good work that are worthy to be clothed with capital?"
