Faith Ventures welcomes Robert Netzly, CEO of Inspire Investing and a major thinker behind the concept of "biblically responsible investing". Robert shares his unusual journey from teaching 4th grade to spearheading one of the fastest-growing investment firms in the nation. We take a deep dive into the moral impact of our financial decisions and how Robert envisions aligning investments with biblical principles. Robert shares his story of starting a career in finance despite clear opposition, with nothing more than a laptop and sheer determination. Though early days were filled with struggle and skepticism, his firm now manages close to $2.7 billion in assets. We unpack the challenges that come with pioneering this kind of fund, engaging with companies, standing firm against societal pressures, maintaining integrity, and staying true to Christian values. Robert's testimony is filled with insights on tackling misconceptions in the Christian community about money management and the belief that one must choose between financial returns and ethical considerations. Remember, our conversation today is not about financial advice but about raising awareness and sparking curiosity on where and how we invest as people of faith. So, join us as we explore the intersection of faith and finances, and learn how every investment can be faithfully stewarded, right here on the Faith Ventures Podcast.Additional Resources:https://www.inspireadvisors.com/author/robert-netzlyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-netzly-5703a534/https://www.inspireinvesting.com/Biblically Responsible Investing (book via Amazon)

Robert Netzly is an Evangelical Christian trying to realize his values and stay true to his own beliefs while working in investing – and he personifies a bigger war going on in the investment world and American politics over a little acronym called ESG. In the last year, there's been a Republican backlash to the trillions of dollars committed to investing practices that take environmental, social, and governance concerns (such as climate change and gender inequalities) into account. We first published this special episode last spring, based on reporting Bloomberg News' ESG reporter Saijel Kishan did for a fascinating piece called “What Would Jesus Buy: Investor Charts Course for $2 Billion Fund.” In this special episode, she shares more of that story, which is a tale of two conflicts, in a way. Should there be biases in the investing world, be it faith-based or social activism? And should ESG exist at all?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Carmody and Barney interview Pete Gladwell, who works for one of the largest investment companies in the UK. Pete explains how he views investment as a community service and tries to make investments that will benefit society rather than only making money for himself or his company. This episode is really interesting to compare to the previous one with Robert Netzly: two Christian investors with different visions of what Christian values in investment look like.

In this episode of the Kingdom Investor podcast, host Daniel White interviews Robert Netzly, the CEO of Inspire Investing. They discuss the concept of biblical responsible investing, which involves paying attention not only to the financial returns of a portfolio but also to the moral aspects of the companies being invested in. Netzly shares his personal story of how he stumbled upon this concept and how it led him to start Inspire Investing. He also talks about their current project, "Blessing Generations," which involves strategically thinking about the long-term future of the company and how it can continue to glorify God.Key takeaways:Aligning investments with personal values is important.Companies have a significant impact on society.Long-term planning is essential for a successful business.Following God's calling, even when it seems risky and uncertain, can lead to great success.The exclusionary process involves a dozen categories such as abortion drugs, pornography, and human trafficking, and legislative efforts that promote immoral activities.The majority of businesses (about 85%) pass all exclusionary criteria and are not involved in heinous business or moral issues.Companies are evaluated based on how they are being a blessing to their customers, workforce, communities they operate in, and the world in general. There are a few dozen categories to evaluate these aspects.Industry best in class is also taken into consideration, such as oil companies that are responsible in drilling and transportation of oil, and companies that score higher in these areas are awarded more points.A theoretical positive 100 is awarded to companies that score the highest above average in all categories.There are over 40,000 ticker symbols of stocks, mutual funds, and ETFs that are available and scrubbed daily for various data points and refreshed daily, and can be accessed for free on inspire insight.com.The faith-driven investing space has been around for a long time, but it has been a really sleepy market until recently.Faith-driven investing is growing by leaps and bounds and more and more financial advisors are becoming aware and integrating it into their practice.The market for faith-driven investing is huge, estimated to be about $21 trillion in stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, bonds, and retirement plans in the United States that are controlled by Protestants, evangelicals, and Catholics.The main roadblock for investors to participate in biblically responsible investing is awareness and knowing what to do once they become aware of it.Investors need to ask questions about who is managing their money, their convictions, and options available to them, and they may need to find a different place to invest for the glory of God.Links:https://inspireinsight.com/About Robert NetzlyRobert Netzly is the CEO of Inspire Investing and a frequent contributor on FOX, Bloomberg, New York Times, and other major media.

Proverbs 27:23 tells us, Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds Today our flocks and herds might be stocks, mutual funds and everything else in our retirement portfolios. Do yours honor the Lord? Robert Netzly is here today with a new, easy way to find out. Robert Netzly is CEO of Inspire Investing, an underwriter of this program and one of the real leaders in the expanding faith-based investing movement. On today's program, Robert Netzly discusses a new personalized way to find out whether your investments align with your Christian values: A free, personalized report at InspireAdvisors.com/report, which compares your current retirement account to a biblically aligned one. A few examples of things that will be revealed in the report: - Abortifacients - Pfizer Inc (PFE) - Misoprostol is used in a regimen together with mifepristone to end a pregnancy that is less than 70 days in duration. It works by stopping the supply of hormones that maintains the interior of the uterus. Without these hormones, the uterus cannot support the pregnancy and the contents of the uterus are expelled. - LGBT Legislation - Alaska Airlines (ALK) HRC signer past 2 years fired 2 employees regarding Equality Act - Pornography - Comcast Corp (CMCSA) Distributes pornographic content The personalized reports also show alternative investments that are biblically aligned and outperform the current investments. The report always offers alternative investments. Netzly says that's extremely important, because the truth is that if you have any investments including a 401K, you may be unintentionally benefiting by investing in companies with ungodly practices. He says while it's a good thing to invest for the future, as Christians, we need to be very mindful of where we're investing and what were profiting from. There hasn't been a good way to know where our money is going or what kind of activity we're profiting from until now. The solution is to invest biblically.

Elon Musk's agreement to buy Twitter is a warning shot for companies that ignore calls to end selective censorship practices. Today on MoneyWise, we'll talk about that and how you can join the fray with investing expert Robert Netzly. Robert Netzly is the CEO of Inspire Investing, an underwriter of this program. Netzly talks with Rob West about the Twitter news and points out that the social media giant isn't the only company facing a backlash these days. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is taking Disney to task after the company waded into politics and took sides with LGBT activists against a new parental rights law. You may not have the clout that a billionaire or a governor has, but you can have clout by joining with hundreds of thousands of others that share the convictions and beliefs that you want to be reflected in the corporations you invest in. STANDING TOGETHER Netzly says we can change companies, but we can't do it alone. We need to stand together in one voice. The potential power of biblically responsible investing is enormous. Christians and people of faith represent $21 trillion worth of stocks, bonds, mutual funds and ETFs in retirement accounts. which is immensely more than the $44 billion Elon Musk paid for Twitter. Together we can vote with our dollars and endorse good companies and engage the not good to change. Inspire is leading the charge to urge companies not to steer away from Christian or just traditional family values. One example of this is Smuckers. This is a major corporation with a long tradition of family-friendly values but appears to be caving to political pressure. Inspire is encouraging Christians to sign a petition at inspireinvesting.com/smuckers to urge Smuckers to stay true to its longstanding principles. But Netzly says it's also important to proactively support and invest in companies that are following biblical principles and making the world a better place. GET INVOLVED To learn more about biblically responsible investing and to get involved in this movement, visit Inspire's website at InspireInsight.com. On today's program, Rob also answers listener questions: ● What should you do with a lump sum of money just before retirement after paying off your mortgage? Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000 or email them to Questions@MoneyWise.org.

Robert Netzly had it all – a high-paying job at one of the nation's leading banks on the beautiful California coast. Then he discovered an unknown skeleton in the closet of his investment portfolio - he was profiting from industries that violated his values - human trafficking, abortion, and porn.    Robert gave up everything to start an investment firm that excelled and innovated, and most importantly – aligned with biblically responsible values. Now with two dozen offices around the nation, Inspire Investing is the third fastest-growing investment firm in the country. Robert shares his story of risk and reward, and how you can find the skeletons in your portfolio.   In this Episode  www.inspireinvesting.com

Robert Netzly is a globally recognized authority in the Biblically Responsible Investing movement and author of the Amazon #1 best-selling book "Biblically Responsible Investing". He is the Founder and CEO of Inspire Investing, a leading innovator in providing low cost, high impact, biblically responsible investing solutions to institutions, advisors, and investors. Robert is a frequent contributor on FOX Business, Bloomberg, New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, The Christian Post and other major global media for his thought leadership in the faith-based, environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing marketplace. Today, Robert joins us to talk about key aspects of Biblically responsible investing, what it means to be an active and engaged shareholder, and how your faith is reflected in the way we shepherd our capital.

They say, the squeaky wheel gets the oi. and that's what's happening now in corporate America. Many of the biggest companies have adopted decidedly ungodly policies. Today on MoneyWise, Robert Netzly explains how activists steer those companies away from biblical values and how Christians can respond. Robert Netzly is CEO ofInspire Investing, an underwriter of this program. He and his team keep a sharp eye on American corporations and their policies. Robert explains that fear and greed have led many companies to engage in policies and practices that disrespect life, promote LGBT activism and oppose religious freedom. FEAR AND GREED Netzly also notes that the J.M. Smucker's Company, which has been known for successfully standing on wholesome family values for 150 years, has chosen to distance themselves from this foundation because it's what our competitors are doing. What happened with Smucker's is what's happening to many corporations. The radical left has used the media to promote Fear of being canceled and boycotted for standing for any values other than their own. This has brought companies to try and remain relevant by joining the most newsworthy trends and causes to show that they are woke and receive media praise rather than criticism. Legislation like the equality act does this well because on the surface it sounds great no one is opposed to equality. But under the veneer it allows for wicked discrimination. Nelzly says fear of bullying from far-left activists has swayed many corporations, but greed is also a factor. He says there were many times in his organization's engagement with Smucker's leadership that Nelzy's group displayed how the equality act was dangerous to their employee's livelihood and their historic values. Yet they chose to keep their alignment even in the face of abandoning five generations of values. Why? Because it's what they believed their shareholders want. In translation, they think there is more money in it for them to walk away from their values than to keep them. Groups like the Human Rights Campaign, canvas companies with constant engagement. Their agenda promotes fear of being canceled for being on the wrong side of history and their campaign is deeply deceptive, claiming to promote equality while being heinously discriminatory. They wield a lot of influence with left-leaning media, and that coverage propagates their agenda and promotes fear of being canceled, along with major celebrity influencers and monolithic corporations that champion the agenda. They are highly funded with government grants and major endowments that allow them to market and engage well. Then they piggyback on this media coverage with shareholder resolutions or informal engagement efforts to convince companies that everyone wants you to do what we are saying. Companies need to hear from Christian investors to balance the conversation and shatter that echo chamber. ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE INVESTING A lot of this is done under the guise of something called ESG. ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance investing. While ESG may sound noble, it is largely used to promote extreme versions of woke political ideology. For example, secular ESG advocates for broad abortion access and seeks to undermine tolerance for religious beliefs about marriage while promoting radical LGBT activism. How does the proxy system work for shareholder meetings? Shareholders of record (usually a 2 year hold minimum) can file a resolution. Companies typically try to get resolutions dismissed, but if worded and positioned shrewdly, these resolutions can make it onto the official agenda for a shareholder votepublished in annual meeting summarytypically do not pass, but companies often settle off the record to make the issue go away. The impact of these squeaky wheels exceeds their actual numbers. But sadly perception is reality to most. Companies are not hearing from Christian shareholders to advocate for life and balance the conversation by bringing proper perspective to Christian values and expose the reality hidden in these horrid agendas. TAKING A STAND We can all become squeaky wheels and engage companies to let them know that we do not want them to support things like the equality act or abortion legislation and philanthropy. The faith-based community controls 20 Trillion dollars in the market and that matters! Netzly says his organization has seen success with companies such as Costco and chevron. Learn about the companies you own at inspireinsight.com, what legislation are they involved in, what philanthropy are they supporting, what issues are they pushing. Engage these companies by calling and emailing investor relations to urge them to change their ways. Contact us at Inspire Investing if you would like our help with the engagement. If companies won't listen, then sell out of your investments with them. If investors don't have the conviction to sell, companies will never take us seriously. Invest your money with companies that glorify God and steward your resources well. Inspire can help. Learn more atInspireInvesting.com.

Welcome to this week's episode of the Christian Retirement Show! In today's episode we discuss Biblically responsible investing- What it is, pros & cons, and how we at Schrum Private Wealth Management implement BRI for our clients.   Show Outline:   What is Biblically Responsible Investing?   Biblically responsible investing is the process of investing your money in companies whose business practices align with biblical values. Another way to think of BRI is screening out companies who engage in practices which are contrary to biblical values. Often these values are things such as companies who profit from abortion pharmaceuticals, engage in slavery within their supply chains, profit from pornography, the current gender trends, all the way to possible alcohol, tobacco, and gambling sales.   What are pros & cons of Biblically Responsible Investing?   Pros:  • Christian's now have an option to align their faith & finances • Be part of a growing movement with better investment selection • Enact change in the culture through investing   Cons: • Higher fees than average • Mostly Actively Managed Investments • Can be marketed in a legalistic way.   If you are interested in how you can implement Biblically Responsible Investing in your portfolio, we'd love to help.

As Christians, we have certain duties to be obedient, generous and always honest, to be like Christ and to do His will. But how does that extend to our investing? On today's MoneyWise Live, host Rob West will talk with Robert Netzly about the duty of a Christian investor. Then Rob will answer your calls and questions on various financial topics. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Christians, we have certain duties: to be obedient, generous and always honest, to be like Christ and to do His will. How does that extend to our investing? Robert Netzly joins Rob West today to discuss that. Robert Netzly is CEO ofInspire Investing, an underwriter of this program. WHAT IS THE DUTY OF A CHRISTIAN INVESTOR? Many will answer that question by referencing the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, believing that the answer is to be a careful but assertive investor, earning high returns while minimizing risk. There is certainly some truth to that, but that doesn't paint a complete picture. Consider also the need to clean the inside of the cup. Matthew 23:25-28:Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean. What are the companies INSIDE your portfolio and what products and services are they selling? We must first ensure that we invest in activities that glorify God, avoiding investments in immoral businesses. And then we can move on to consider the outside of the cup, shrewdly managing our portfolio for optimal financial returns. EASIER SAID THE DONE? YES. BUT DOABLE. Yes, this is a higher calling, a harder job and greater responsibility than what the secular investor is faced with. But we serve a perfect God who calls us to be perfect even as He is perfect, so we shouldn't expect obedience to be easy. Thankfully, He also promises to give wisdom to those who ask and to be with us always, even unto the end of the age. He also promises grace and forgiveness for all those who have trusted in Jesus when we inevitably fall short. A good investment steward seeks to glorify God by simultaneously ensuring the companies he or she invests in align with God's values while also earning respectable returns. Between the two objectives of holiness and profit, the Bible tells us that we should give priority to holiness. Proverbs 16:9 clearly spells this out, Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice. COMPANIES THAT DON'T HONOR GOD Robert Netzly says one example of a company that does not honor God would beAmazon. - 16 counts of LGBT Philanthropy - 3 counts of LGBT legislation - Counts of LGBT Promotion Another bad company would be Johnson Johnson: - 1 count Abortifacients - 1 count embryonic cell research COMPANIES THAT ARE DOING GOOD IN THE WORLD A good example would beCostco: - 13 counts of positive action with 0 negative - 5 counts of positive environmental action - 5 counts of positive social; action CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE CUP What is a good way for a Christian investor to get started cleaning the inside of his cup? A good first step is to discover what's really going on inside your portfolio using technology likeinspireinsight.comor talking with a Christian financial advisor specially trained in biblically responsible investing likeInspire Advisors. Making a bunch of money from immoral activities does not please or honor God. Likewise, making investments in companies with good morals but terrible business results that do nothing but make bad products and lose money is also poor stewardship and is not honoring to God. The resources at InspireInvesting.com can help us find companies that are in that sweet spot, engaged in activities that honor God, but also managing their companies well and producing products and services that give a return on investment. Thanks for dropping by, Robert.

Robert Netzly of Inspire Investing lays out a plan to help people invest wisely and "morally" -- are we helping or hurting humanity with what we are supporting with our investments? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some decidedly ungodly elements have taken over the sphere of corporate engagement with investing. So, how should Christians respond? On today's MoneyWise Live, Rob West will talk with Robert Netzly about investing that glorifies God. Then he’ll answer some calls and questions on various financial topics. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1085/29 David answered God's call and went out to slay Goliath. Do we have a similar calling with our investments? Some decidedly ungodly elements have taken over the sphere of corporate engagement with investing. How should Christians respond? Robert Netzly joins Rob West to help answer that question today on MoneyWise. Robert Netzly is the CEO ofInspire Investing, an underwriter of MoneyWise. Christian investors have been quick to abandon and reject the rapidly growing so-called ESG investing movement because of its worldly ideology, but Robert's here with a different calling for Christian investors. WHAT IS ESG INVESTING? ESG stands for Environmental, Social, Governance. Radical left-leaning activists have used it to push woke liberal ideology which Christians and conservatives have rejected or disengaged from. Examples include Larry Fink/Blackrock and the Equality Act, and companies like GoDaddy opposing pro-life legislation. As a result, many Christian and conservative investors are remaining on the sidelines of ESG because of its liberal bent. But while ESG investing has been used as a tool for liberal ideology, it needs to be countered by Christians to redeem it to glorify God. God frequently uses evil times like ours for His own purposes. Genesis 50:20 Joseph says to his brothers who sold him into slavery, As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today. A biblically informed approach to ESG investing is our opportunity as Christians to have the ear of major corporations, the yellow brick road to the wizard behind the curtain. Instead of tearing up the road, we should be packing the streets with God-honoring perspectives on environmental, social and governance issues so we can be salt and light in the boardrooms. HOW CAN CHRISTIANS USE ESG? First, we need to know what we are investing in so we can invest in the good and not support the bad. That's why we builtInspire Insight. Next, we can get busy engaging with companies on issues that are important to us, and more importantly, to God. God cares deeply about our stewardship of the environment, how we relate to others socially, and about corporate governance. For the environment we have Leviticus 25:4. It reads, But in the seventh year, there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to the LORD. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard. Jesus, of course, often talks about our social calling: Love your neighbor as yourself. And for governance, there's Jeremiah 22:13, Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness And his upper rooms without justice, Who uses his neighbor's services without pay And does not give him his wages. If you can't spend the time engaging with companies yourself, then you should invest in a Christian fund company that will engage with companies on your behalf, advocating persistently for biblical values to be respected by the companies you own. If a company refuses to listen, then we need to personally and collectively have the conviction and backbone to eliminate their stocks and bonds from our portfolios. If Christians don't actually care enough to dump investments in woke companies, why should any company ever listen to us? We can't endure if the enemies of faith and freedom have deeper convictions than our own. LISTENER QUESTIONS On today's program, Rob also answers listener questions: ●How do you determine the best time to begin drawing Social Security benefits? ●Are government property tax sales a wise investment?

Reaching 60% of people using social media worldwide, there’s no question that Facebook has a huge impact on public perception. And often that impact is negative. So, from a moral perspective, should Christians invest in Facebook? On today's MoneyWise Live, host Rob West welcomes Robert Netzly to answer that question. Then Rob will answer your calls and questions on various financial topics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1085/29 Facebook claims nearly 3 billion monthly users and reaches 60% of people using social media worldwide. Facebook has an enormous impact on public perception today, but too often, that impact is negative. Morally speaking, should Christians invest their money with Facebook? Robert Netzly of Inspire Investing joins Rob West today to help answer that question. Robert Netzly is CEO ofInspire Investing, which offers values-based, Biblically responsible investment options. Facebook has been accused of misdealings in user privacy, political manipulation, mass surveillance, fake news and over-estimating its number of users to increase advertising revenue. And Facebook was in hot water once again following whistleblower testimony by an employee who leaked internal documents to the Wall Street Journal. Those documents and testimony allege a wide range of misconduct and placing profit above ethical responsibility. So can Christian investors in good conscience still own Facebook stock? HOW DOES THE BIBLE ADDRESS ETHICAL INVESTING? Proverbs 15:27 tells us, In you they take bribes to shed blood; you take interest and profit and make gain of your neighbors by extortion; but me you have forgotten, declares the Lord God. Behold, then, I smite My hand at your dishonest gain which you have acquired and at the bloodshed which is among you. Proverbs 15:27: He who profits illicitly troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes will live. Proverbs 16:8, Better is a little with righteousness than great income with injustice. Proverbs 21:6, The acquisition of treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor, the pursuit of death. WHAT TO DO ABOUT ETHICAL CONCERNS WITH INVESTMENTS Netzly explains your options for taking action on your convictions with regard to investing: You can screen your investments for biblically responsible issues for free through the screening tool atInspireInsight.com. If so convicted, you may choose to move your money out of investments connected to companies that engage in Biblically objectionable activities. Another option is to use your influence as an investor to try and change a company's behavior. Corporate engagement is an important part of the faith-based movement. Netzly describes what you can do to make your voice heard in a meaningful way.

To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1085/29 The world's been at war with God's Kingdom since The Fall. The newest battleground is investing. Do you know which side you're on?Too many Christians are unintentionally funding the other side. Today we'll talk with Robert Netzly about the realigning your portfolio to do Kingdom work, specifically in the area of abortion. Robert's the CEO of Inspire Investing.Think of them as our intelligence unit for keeping track of what the other side is up to and helping us plan strategies for winning the war of values-based investing. The Texas Heartbeat bill bans abortions as early as 6 weeks, greatly thwarting abortionists. Inspire Investing's intent is to make this known to investors. There are other, more effective ways to make your voice heard than by merely decided not to do commerce with pro-abortion businesses. These companies have to know why. As a faith-based investor, reach out and engage companies as a shareholder. Inspire Investing does a lot of shareholder engagement in this area and offers the ability to search your mutual funds or ticker symbols of your stocks so as to see if there's exposure to the abortion industry. Finally, know what you own since you're a steward of what God's given you. Take this seriously. You can then take steps to either sell in favor of products that are more in line with Biblical values. There may be companies in your portfolio supporting abortion and you may not even be aware of it. On today's program we also answer a couple of your questions: I've never applied for a business credit card. How do I get one with the best rates? We have an opportunity to improve our loan interest rate by a full point. My husband and I want to reduce our mortgage from a 30-year to a 20. We plan to stay in this home for at least 5 more years.

And of course, a great way to gain wisdom is to ask questions.That's what we'll be doing today, asking questions, specifically about biblically responsible investing. And who better to provide the answers than investing expert Robert Netzly.Robert is the CEO of Inspire Investing, an underwriter of MoneyWise, and one of the leaders in the rapidly growing faith-based investing movement.Then I'll take your calls at 800-525-7000. In Matthew 7:5, Jesus rebukes hypocrites. He says, You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.So, our first question today is, Is it hypocritical to screen out companies from my portfolio when I'm still buying their products or services as a consumer? Some people wonder if biblical responsible investing makes any difference because when you buy a stock, mutual fund or ETF, the money's not going to the company it's just going to another investor who's selling their stock, like buying a used car. Robert talks about what is really happening here. Do we even have any moral responsibility since the percentage of my investment is so small? Can we really make a biblical impact on big corporations with our investment decisions? Robert speaks about the Faith Based Cash card, what it is and how it works. Robert offers wisdom on the steps for someone to take if they want to align their investments with God's financial principles. Here are a couple of questions we answered from our callers on today's program: We are looking at building a home. The building material costs are going up. Should we wait to do this?

Next, he speaks on which of these emotions most investors are most likely to be struggling with in the current financial situation. A will is like a road map. We don’t use them so often these days with GPS, but you may remember drawing a map for someone to find their way to your house.

To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1085/29 Have you ever wondered if your investments give glory to God? Luke 21:15 says, For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. Now more than ever, we see this with faith-based investing. Christian shareholders are speaking out in some of the worlds biggest companies, seeking to change policies that oppose biblical principles. Today, host Rob West talks with investing expert and CEO of Inspire Investing, Robert Netzly, about shareholder engagement and the battle for biblical principles in the boardroom. Many companies take corporate profits and use them to advocate for certain causes or issues, generally representative of the stances of the executives or the board and not the stances of the shareholders as a whole. Netzly talks about partnering with friends and investors to challenge big corporations in their support of certain movements, and how they succeed in making biblically guided changes. Many faith-based conservatives have taken issue with the stances of Chevron, Costco, and especially Amazon; Netzly talks about how he helps find resolutions with these companies. Rob mentions that the other side to faith-based investing is embracing the companies that make positive impacts on the world, and recognizing the good that they do.
