Understanding & Applying Jubilee: A Conversation with Author Kelly Nikondeha

Tune into this episode where Elizabeth sits down with author Kelley Nikondeha to explore the transformative principles of her book, Jubilee Economics. Drawing from her years of grassroots work in Burundi alongside her husband Claude, Kelley shares powerful stories of resilience—from establishing a bank for the working poor to navigating the devastating aftermath of a local marketplace fire. The conversation dives deep into the ancient, archaeological roots of Jubilee practices that challenge our modern assumptions about debt, wealth, and structural inequality. By bridging the gap between personal financial responsibility and systemic justice, Kelley offers a cohesive theological framework that reframes Jesus’ teachings on money and calls on faith communities to lead more robust, practical discussions on economic liberation.
