This week on the podcast Jeremy is joined from Matt Belleville from Reformed Expressions (and who has also written some articles for Cruciform Ministries' blog like I have). We talk about taxes, specifically continuing the Old Testament concept of taxes into today, as well as praising God through helping the poor.   Check out Matt's book Your Neighbor and Praising God on Psalm 146.

This week Luke, who runs @econ_daily on Instagram, joins Jeremy to talk about work, the Christian work ethic, presuppositional apologetics, and more. After listening to this episode, go check out his page!

What did Jesus have to say about equal wages? What did Jesus think of the saying "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"? Find out in this episode as Jeremy dives in once again to the parable of the laborers in the vineyard to see what it has to teach us about money, income, and economics.   This episode of the podcast is part 2 to episode 23, so make sure to listen to both of them!

In this episode, Jeremy responds to statements made by Pastor Timothy Keller about fundraising for missions work and racism. Keller claimed that self-funding is an example of systemic racism because white people are more connected and thus get funded and on the field sooner, which is a result of systemic racism through the years of U.S. history. Or is it? Check out this episode to find out!

A lot of the parables of Jesus are recorded in the gospels. Some of them relate to money. One of them that does is the parable of the laborers in the vineyard, or perhaps you know it as the parable of the day laborers. There is a lot of about money and finances and economics that we can learn from this passage, so in this episode Jeremy dives into the parable, explaining it and some of the implications of it. Check it out to learn what the Bible has to teach you about the proper use of money!

Does the Bible condemn great wealth? A lot of people think it does and point to passages such as Luke 18:18-27 (the rich, young ruler) or Luke 19:1-10 (Zacchaeus) to make these claims. But do those and other passages covered in this episode actually condemn riches? Listen to this episode to find out!

In this episode Jeremy answers an important question: Can you be rich and Christian? So many today argue that certain passages in the Bible condemn all riches and therefore rich people cannot be Christians, or if they can be, they are not as good Christians as others. To answer that question, Jeremy jumps into passages of Scripture that highlight riches in a positive light, as well as ones that do not.   Article: https://www.biblestudy.org/basicart/how-rich-was-king-david.html

In this episode Jeremy looks back on the election between President Trump and President Biden and what Christians can learn from that for future elections. He dives into the options available to anyone in any election, and then looks from a Christian perspective at those options to see which ones, if any, are truly options available to Christians.

In this episode Jeremy dives into what the future likely holds, both for the United States in particular and the world as a whole. He talks about things that look bleak in the near future, but also the bright hope that Christ will prevail. All things are being put under Christ's feet while the Father laughs and mocks those who rise up against Him.

This episode of the podcast looks at the account of King Ahab and Naboth's vineyard in I Kings 21. This passage in Scripture records an interaction between a king of Israel and a citizen of Israel as it relates to private property. Thus, it has much to teach us about property rights and the government. Check it out to learn what it has to say for us today on economics!
