What if the investments sitting quietly in your pension or portfolio are funding businesses that directly contradict your Christian values and you don't even know it?

In this episode, Tom Nelson tells the remarkable story of Robin John, a man who grew up in poverty in India, moved to the United States, built a career in finance, and then faced a crisis of conscience when he discovered his mutual funds were profiting from tobacco, gambling, pornography and abortion. Rather than simply divesting, Robin and his friend Finny asked a bigger question: what should Christians actively invest in? The answer led them to found Eventide Asset Management in 2008 a Boston-based firm built on the conviction that where your money goes, the world either flourishes or suffers.

You'll learn:

-Why avoiding harmful investments is only half the story and what a truly Christian investment ethic looks like.

-What Proverbs 10:2 and Jeremiah 17:11 say about wealth built on injustice and why it never lasts.

-How Jesus' parable of the talents points not just to diligence, but to ethical stewardship.

-Three practical first steps to align your financial portfolio with your faith this week.

-Why value-based investing is one of the fastest-growing sectors in finance and how you can be part of it

Every financial investment is a vote for the kind of world you want to live in. As a follower of Jesus, what you invest in matters not just for your retirement, but for the flourishing of your neighbours near and far.
