Should you give money to the homeless man at the traffic light? Is it okay to play the lottery?
God has called us to manage the money He provides us for the advancement of His Kingdom. Such an important task requires great wisdom. As believers, we are often faced with challenging financial scenarios and questions, like the questions above. And we need some wisdom.
This is why I have brought on Dr. David Jones (aka Dave) to the More Than Money podcast. As a financial ethicist, he provides biblical wisdom to help navigate difficult, financial questions.
If you haven’t listened to Dave, let me suggest three More Than Money episodes and the questions he helps us consider:
