The number of people living in abject poverty is decreasing at an unprecedented rate. Capitalism has played a major role in lifting people out of such poverty, yet many raise legitimate concerns about capitalism: Does capitalism hurt the poor? Promote materialism? Harm the environment? Allow the rich to get richer at the expense of others? Is capitalism the best system for organizing societies and economies? Join us for a fascinating conversation on the subject of capitalism and whether or not it aligns with the Truths of Scripture.
In Matthew 10:16, Christ told His disciples to be “wise” and “innocent” when they went “in the midst of wolves.” Today our guest will show us how to be both wise and innocent as we work among people who sometimes behave like wolves. Temptation, greed, dishonesty, and misguided ambition have always presented challenges for Christians in the workplace. Add secular bias, political correctness and persecution to the mix, and the modern workplace becomes a foreboding environment for Christians to navigate. How, then, do we earn a living without compromising our faith? Join us to learn how to find our way and thrive on the job.
