If God owns everything and we are simply stewards of the resources He has entrusted to us, should we care what our investments are supporting? In this episode, we continue our discussion on biblically responsible investing by exploring what it means to avoid profiting from ill-gotten gain.
We'll examine the biblical principles behind faithful stewardship and discuss practical ways Christians can thoughtfully evaluate the companies and industries they own through their investment portfolios.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• What the Bible teaches about ill-gotten gain.
• Why Christians should care about what they support.
• Common categories many faith-driven investors choose to screen out.
• How investment screening works.
• Why biblically responsible investing is about pursuing faithfulness.
No portfolio will ever be perfect. But every Christian can seek to be intentional about stewarding God's resources in a way that aligns with biblical convictions. This conversation offers practical guidance to help you think through those decisions with wisdom and discernment.
