Christ and Capital Podcast: Recent Episodes
christandcapital
Christ and Capital is a show dedicated to highlighting the Biblical underpinnings of free-market economics and entrepreneurship. The show’s mission is to encourage everyone to “Love God. Love Neighbor. Build Something.” We talk about capitalism, entrepreneurship, business, apologetics, eschatology, economics, the Image of God, and much more. This is going to be fun.
Alexsy Felix, host of the Chaos and Christ podcast, joins me to discuss the recent Balenciaga fiasco and whether or not there is a deeper significance to it than just child exploitation. How should Christians interpret the rise of sexual confusion and deviancy over the last decade?
Alexsy then shares about a project he is working on, a business that he’s started called Chaos Resistance Fitness - a company targeted at men and developing the discipline needed to resist the chaos around them, starting with those love handles.

Nathan and I are back after an extended hiatus! Hitting the road hard with our takes on Halloween, All-Refor-Thanks-Fest, and the question whether or not it is appropriate to take immediate practical application from Jesus’ parables. The parable of the dishonest manager is one that is not so easy to exposit. It’s sandwiched between the parable of the prodigal son and the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, two parables that at a deeper level are about Israel… Is there something deeper going on with this parable and is there any application for us as businessmen and productive people?

New guest and new co-host. Kentrell Barnes co-pilots this episode where we discuss postmillenialism and film making with Nathan Anderson, creator of the documentary ‘On Earth as It Is in Heaven’ and the docu-series ‘Teach All Nations’ (now on LOOR.tv). Kentrell is an experienced videographer/writer and helps me dig into the specifics of the craft with Nathan regarding his experience creating his breakout documentary. Hopefully this episode encourages you (especially aspiring film makers) to go get your hands dirty.

The inflation reduction act is a clear example of political marketing if there ever was one. Nathan and I talk through the implications of what this maneuver means for a civilized society. Plus, Nathan is now a published author. He was featured in the Davenant Institute’s ‘Reforming Classical Education’. Finally, Bible bits: what is The Ancient of Days?

Right at the outset I’ve likely triggered a majority of my readers just by the title of this article. I think we can attribute that partially to our cultural knee-jerk reaction to “emote first, ask questions later” and partially to the unstable political climate which we’ve created in this here land of the free-ish. Let me make a clarification, healthcare is a positive right and positive rights do not exist.

Sri Lanka is in dire straights. Dutch farmers have grown a backbone. The world economic forum is quaking in its boots. But has the poison of communism already taken to the arteries of global society? Connor Neville joins me again but this time, picking up where we left off last time, tackling the question how do we combat global communism as it is being dictated to the nations of the world? We explore this new (to us) economic/political ideology called Distributism, or Subsidiarity. Can we have a economic system that embraces the virtues of individualism while also obligating him to higher duty? And can this sort of system that introduces obligations and duty be founded on any system other than the biblical one? Nope.

What is Distributism?
https://theimaginativeconservative.org/2014/06/what-is-distributism.html
4 points of Distributism
- Faith has to be at the center
- Cornerstone is the family (state / indiv)
- Calling - not just for me (community)
- Calling to place - against nomadism

Roe v. Wade has been overturned! It is a glorious day and it is time to praise God for his faithfulness. There’s more to do, but now is a time of celebration. There are common arguments that you are going to hear from the left/unbelievers in the battle ahead so let’s think through them now (miscarriages, poor kids, life of the mother, clump of cells, my body/my choice, women’s rights, wHite men & guns) with the understanding that the very first and primary reason for opposing abortion is that God says thou shalt not murder.

The Biden administration may forgive 10K of student loan debt per borrower. This has ramifications for both the economic landscape as well as the national moral framework. Nathan and Dustin talk through some startling statistics and what they mean for higher education. How does the free market price student loans and how is that being subverted by free government money? Jesus gave us a great example of how to treat indebted individuals.

Roe v. Wade is poised to being overturned in the near future and the screeching has begun. Every Christian needs to be ready to give a reasoned defense not only for the hope that is in them but also for their pro-life/abolitionist values. Note: you cannot separate your values from your faith in Christ, it’s not possible.
Nathan and I talk through the current events related to Roe and Casey, and then dig deep into the philosophical underpinnings propping up the abortion discussion. We even introduce the end all be all apologetic to use against pro-choice (pro-abortion) aggressors. You’re going to love it.

Deconstruction is a term that is thrown around a lot today, but what does it mean? Lots of definitions and a lot of talking past one another. Nathan and I dive deep into the history of the deconstructing movement - Derrida, Frankfurt School, Foucault, and the relationship of language and meaning - because whether you know it or not, it is a philosophy that is a lot older than social media.

Dr. George Grant joins Nathan and I to discuss the labor theory of value. Typically used as a cajole by marxists against capitalists, this theory has been the subject of much debate over the centuries. Dr. Grant brings us into an enlightening discussion tracing this idea from its origins with Adam Smith through Karl Marx, through Antonio Gramsci, to a rich Biblical application for today.

Environmentalism, environmental alarmism, global warming, global cooling, climate change, and other sundry pseudonyms. How should a Christian think about this phenomenon from a worldview and political perspective? Christians should be the most environmentally conscious human beings, while also properly prioritizing creation, mankind, and God.
Scripture References:
Genesis 9 - 22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.
Romans 8 - 19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
Romans 1 - 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. 24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

Are theses sanctions appropriate and how should we think about them in a globalized economy? What does the Christian worldview have to say about globalization and economic countermeasures?

Connor Neville joins me to talk about his start up called Ekklesia Design, a consultation company in the field of landscape architecture - not to be confused with a landscaping company. There is so much theology baked into the concept of land. And Connor helps us think about what is our role as God’s people in stewarding his creation.

1 Chronicles 12
23 These are the numbers of the divisions of the armed troops who came to David in Hebron to turn the kingdom of Saul over to him, according to the word of the Lord. 24 The men of Judah bearing shield and spear were 6,800 armed troops…
32 Of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do…
What does “understanding the time” mean and is it a skill that we can have. Seems like a universally to-be-desired ability. Is this related to end times prophecy? Or does it have a more practical meaning?

Two postmil guys get together to talk business, worship, and cease and desist notices. Cody Fields joins me to talk about his journey in starting Westminster Effects and Westminster Effects Doxology podcast. Cody has “effectively” combined two of his areas of expertise, music and theology.

Magnus of Ministry Chaser Radio joins me to discuss the unique work he is doing in the realm of entrepreneurship and Christian ministry. He brings his insights into what he thinks is a big barrier to entry into ministry for a lot of 9-5 Christians and how he helping other to bridge that gap. This is only one of his enterprises as he also teaches on artistic preaching, he has a social media project to bring classical music to public consciousness, and also advises on Christian networking. This is a value packed episode. Enjoy.

Collectivism vs individualism. What does the OT have to tell us about corporate relationships? Does that have any implication for the way we approach reparations today? Is reparations for American Slavery and Jim Crow-style government policies a worthy pursuit?
Bible bits: Christmas is about Barren Women and serpents. The Bible communicates in images, types, archetypes, and themes. There are a ton of these on the Christmas narrative.

Coming off the tail end of an episode with David Bahnsen about his new book ‘There’s No Free Lunch; 250 Economic Truths’, Nathan and I sit down to discuss the first section. Specifically, the relationship of human flourishing and economic freedom. It is important that we start with the correct foundations, else, it’s garbage in, garbage out. Who is God, what is a human being, how should we view our work in light of that?

David Bahnsen gifts Christ and Capital a few minutes of his time to talk about his new book, ‘There’s No Free Lunch; 250 Economic Truths’. Not only do we talk about the inspiration behind the book but we also dive into the worldview implications of economics and how important our theological and anthropological assumptions are to our reasoning about markets. David also gives us a little hint into what his next book will be about.
The Book: There’s No Free Lunch; 250 Economic Truths

Nathan's back and we're talking Thomas Sowell again. Specifically, the chapter on risk and insurance in his book Basic Economics. Three points / misunderstandings to address when talking about risk:
1.) Properly placed risk pressures economic actors to make the right decision. (Skin in the game)
--(https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/10/bernies-not-so-subtle-single-payer-plot/?fbclid=IwAR3MygsmryAc-IjRpnsLRX4NfEKXKTvHdu-1pCbCE_T1svxf5BXmS-Jpnsk)
2.) It determines the rate of return on your investment and wages
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/15/in-2020-top-ceos-earned-351-times-more-than-the-typical-worker.html
3.) Assurance (risk mitigation) is an industry that people take for granted

Another Bible Bits episode. This time Nathan and I talk about how Mountains help communicate a deeper, more subliminal message in the scriptures. Once we start seeing all the different ways that the Bible communicates its message (such as in the thematic trope of ‘Mountains’), it becomes all the more sweeter and enchanting. Short and to the point. These are meant to stoke interest in further study and not necessarily to layout a detailed theological lesson.

Prolific author, economist, statistician, Germinal G. Van joins me to talk through his most recent book The Economics of Gender Relations; An Empirical and Statistical Analysis. We talk men & women, regression analyses, discrimination, representation, race, and the various schools of economics. Germinal is a wealth of knowledge on the topic of econometrics and can break down complex economic concepts into pieces digestible by Average Joe. If you're going to talk social/economics issues with friends, better be ready to communicate how the numbers support the claims.

Ravyn Neville joins me to give the run down of all things virtual assistants. What types of things can virtual assistants do, how do they charge, and what the value add is for engaging a virtual assistant for your small business. We also wade into the fringes of the culture wars to address Girl Boss culture. If you are starting a business, you have to listen to this. If for nothing other than for the awareness of a resource available to you in staring and growing your business.

...But of all these reaching arguments listed above, the fundamental underlying reason, in this author’s mind, is that pro-choicers actually think it’s not human until it meets their own criteria of what constitutes human life - brain activity, viability (whatever that means), sentience, heartbeat, appearance, etc. May we never see the day where our elected officials can customize their views on what constitutes human life for political or economic expedience. History is replete with political leaders using this tactic for steering the masses.

This past independence day really opened our eyes to the cultural and ideological rifts that have arisen in the United States, so Nathan and Dustin talk through how the Church should process it all. Bibles, guns, American flags, apple pie, baseball, and picket fences. Have these things gotten dangerously close to mixing with the identity of the Church? Is it right and good to be a patriotic Christian? Can you love your country and the ideals it stands for? What are the pitfalls? Is it appropriate to place national flags in the worship service?

Jeremy Collins from the Theonomoney podcast joins me on this second installment of a two-part series on theonomy and taxation. Go over to the Theonomoney podcast and check out part 1 on Theonomy as we set the stage for the discussion on taxation.
When it comes to taxation, the three main questions that need to be answered are (1) who has the authority and jurisdiction to levy taxes, (2) how much taxation is permissible, and (3) what method of taxation would be most compatible with a Biblical society (flat vs progressive)? We discuss the Biblical passages that seem to address taxation and talk through the pros and cons (mainly cons) of common types of taxes in modern society.

AB3 - Marx: To Each According to His Need; Jesus: To Each According to His Ability
Both Jesus and Karl Marx have a famous partial quote attributed to them. Only, there's a slight difference that reveals their anthropological presuppositions.

Housing prices are skyrocketing. Demand for mortgages is plummeting. Builders and investment companies are ramping up production of built-to-rent neighborhoods. What’s causing prices to surge? Is this in any way related to The Great Reset initiative proposed by the World Economic Forum? How should Christians navigate this housing market?
Dustin brings on Sean Melquist to balance our thinking between conspiracy theories and naïveté.

One interesting verse in John's Gospel will have any good opti-millenialist scratching his head. Zac and I (yes, Zac is back!) take a dive into Jesus' words and the the OT passage he is referencing. How should we understand this passage and apply it to out current economic situation?

We're tackling the question: what does a distinctly Christian philosophy of capitalism look like? Is it all about rich people and greed? Not really. Capitalism largely just answers the question, who owns the means of production? Hint: God owns ALL the things.
Dr. Brian Phillips joins us to talk about classical education, wisdom and virtue, a theology of man, theology of education, liberal arts, medicine, trade schools, and holistic study of the world. Buckle up.

It's episode 50! Nathan and I celebrate by taking on one of the more heavy topics of scripture and try to address some in-house concerns. Penal Substitution and the justice and wrath of God, Christ's victory of sin, death and Satan, and the how Christ's death and resurrection corrects Adam's failure, all of these are aspects of the Atonement that should not be put at odds with one another.

Dustin’s flying solo this week. Stimulus Bill and its “pork”. Will inflation occur because of this mass money creation effort? Christians need to think about the topic of inflation intelligently because we risk losing our credibility in the economic arena if we make predictions that don’t ever come to pass. What does the book of Isaiah have to tell us about where America is economically speaking?

The Road to Serfdom runs straight through GreatReset-berg. Freidrick Hayek was onto something when he said that communism and fascism, popularly believed to be political opposites, actually end in the same place: totalitarianism. There are many ways that politicians attempt to coax their constituents into a serf/lord relationship. Fear, loneliness, highlighting a common enemy, these are only a few of their tactics. Are these also being used to frame up the World Economic Forum’s ‘Great Reset?’

Douglas Wilson joined us on the show! Despite Nathan and I trying (unsuccessfully) to contain our excitement at having the opportunity to sit down with this very influential player in modern Christendom, the three of us had a really great discussion about Doug’s book Ploductivity: A Practical Theology of Work and Wealth. We hit on a few topics that you don’t usually hear Doug speak on in his normal content channels, so you may be surprised at some of the responses. The episode spans topics such as Deuteronomy 8, wealth creation, wealth redistribution, tools, the attitude of glad suspicion, “presuppositional economics”, plodding, and courage.

My pastor, Lee Shelnutt joins Nathan and I to discuss Christian calling. What does it mean to be “called by God” and do we take more liberties in using that term than is wise? Lee and Nathan bestow their years of wisdom in council related to calling and occupation or vocation. They help us answer the questions ‘what is a Christian calling,’ ‘how to know my Christian calling,’ and ‘can you be called to be an electrician in the same way that you are called to Christ?

I was honored to have Jerry Bowyer on the show to talk about his new book ‘The Maker vs The Takers: What Jesus Really Said about Social Justice and Economics.’ In his efforts to understand the archaeology and economic history of Jesus’ stomping grounds, Jerry spent several years studying scripture and making the meta connections between the Gospels and the economic environment of the time. This is a book that you cannot afford to skip over. Not only does it give us the backdrop for Jesus’ parables, it also helps us to understand how integral the concepts of wealth, debt, honesty, and corruption are to the Biblical story. For more on the parables, see mine and Nathan’s talk on the subject in episode 8.

Leah’s success in each of her business ventures makes her an invaluable source of wisdom and insight. Not only does she put out fantastic music (literally) and coaching, or create a one of a kind listener experience with the extension to her candle business, but she also has the robust Christian worldview to back it up.

Did Babylon have a minimum wage? We’re not sure but it seems as if America maybe getting a boost in its minimum wage from the current $7.25 to a whopping $15. What will this do to small business and how can we think about minimum wage from a Biblical perspective.
The second half focuses on the book of Jeremiah and how the two popular verses (let the reader understand) apply to our current context. Is America Babylon? What plans does God have for us? And what should be our posture toward the cities we live in today?
Also, Nathan throws in a little nugget about history and the magi that visit Jesus at his birth. Blew my mind.

Two articles, one from Vice and one from a blog/website called Jezebel. Need I say more? The first article focuses on an interview of self-proclaimed feminist socialist, Nancy Fraser, in which she describes the failures of capitalism to assign appropriate value to “care work”. In her words, we need a complete socialist feminist makeover of the economy in order to re-prioritize our conceptions of essential work. The second article carries Nancy’s ideas forward and asks the question, ‘if certain work is non-essential, why do them at all?’

Captain Anthony Navarro joins me to talk about the comparison of stock trading to piracy. It’s not what you think. Anthony has taken stock investing from budding hobby to full time work, branching out into trading and community cultivation. There is a wise way to engage in stock trading and there are foolish ways. But anyone can do it. Anthony gives me a high level overview of good methods for growing your stock portfolio as well as ways to approach and assess risk.

Nathan and I take a deep dive into the question that every economy has to answer: what is the best way to allocate scarce resources that have alternative uses? Should a centralized authority ration our resources from on high? Or is there something about a free enterprise system that allows for the most effective and efficient allocation of said resources? Though not immediately apparent on the surface, this discussion is a theological one. Take a listen.

JCL Faltot joins me to discuss the power of narrative in the marketplace and in pop culture. Human beings naturally latch onto stories because we were made in the image of the greatest story teller of all. Data dumps and brute facts don’t capture our attention and enraptured our hearts like stories do, and it would be wise of content creators, business men, entrepreneurs, economists, etc. to use that to their advantage.

Let’s talk business. On this episode I had the privilege of speaking with Maceo Jourdan, CEO of LOOR.tv. We talk about LOOR’s business model and the prospects of toppling the currently reigning streaming giants. We know that ‘story’ is the most powerful weapon in the world, hence God is reconciling the world to himself through a story - the Gospel of the God-Man Jesus Christ. For Christians to start taking over in the realm of story, we need freedom to buck the templates, juke the gatekeepers, and provide a really quality product. LOOR is the channel.

We’re going on a long walk through a mine field. Will we make it out in one piece? Probably not. Nathan and I talk through the distinction between the equal opportunity (equality) and equal outcome (equity) and how Kamala Harris’ recent video should be investigated critically (pun unavoidable). We talk through how statistics are often used to support discrimination in the marketplace when a closer look may reveal that discrimination is actually not the culprit. We also take a look at demographic representation in the market, Hollywood, sports, education, etc. We need to be more critical of our critical theories.

Everyone has their own take on the current state of the 2020 Presidential Election, but Nathan and I have the correct one. In all seriousness, things are a little weird and discombobulated right now so we need to be thinking critically. How is the media enflaming the current political divide? What do Aristotle and Augustine have to tell us about politics and the governmental system? Conservatives need to learn how to fight.

Have you seen the docu-drama ‘The Social Dilemma’? If not, you need to get on that. What are these social media companies doing to us? Are they really exploiting our biological and psychological weaknesses? Indeed. The business model of these organizations is ‘personalized worldview cultivation’ and it’s incredibly dangerous. But how should the business model be altered to affect positive change? Who should be in the driver’s seat? Is there hope left for us?

“Vanity of vanities, all is vanity! There’s nothing new under the sun. Life is meaningless; purposeless. My work is all for nothing in the end.” These are the words of the writer of Ecclesiastes. Is this overwhelming and depressing book applicable to me today? How? Nathan and I talk through what the author of Ecclesiastes means by “all is vanity” and “there’s nothing new under the sun”. How do we find hope and joy in our toil? Entrepreneurs take heart.

Because Amy Coney Barrett’s SCOTUS confirmation vote is this week, and because we were concerned with some of the sound bites that came out of her senate hearings, Nathan and I decided to do an episode. It seems that a large portion of the American populous views the Supreme Court as an extension of the legislative or executive branches. It shouldn’t be that way. What is the role of a SCOTUS justice and what is the constitution?

LOOR is a new platform that will change the way Christians think about the entertainment they consume. Marcus and I talk about why it’s so important that Christian entertainment doesn’t have the cookie cutter Christian movie veneer but also doesn’t leave us questioning whether what we just watched caused us to sin.

In this episode I am joined again by Nathan Johnson to talk through the question “is debt good for society?” The discussion doesn’t start with debt finance fundamentals or any sort of economic definitions; it starts with imago dei and the imitatio dei. We need to harness a solid biblical understanding of rights and obligations in order to meaningfully assess what debt we should take and what debt we shouldn’t.

Stephen and I talk through the recent article he wrote for Fighting Stagnant, ‘Why You Never Have A Good Day at Work’. How do we see today the curse that was placed on the earth in Genesis? What does Christ’s atonement mean for the creation itself? Is the earth being sanctified? How is the modern Information Age evidence that things are getting better? It’s a wild ride.

It’s story time! The broken window fallacy is an illustration popularized by Frederic Bastiat which highlights the importance of looking at the unseen effects of any economic event rather than just the seen. I also highlight the difference between supply side and demand side economics. Oh, and when I said the broken window fallacy is usually discussed in reference to Immanuel Kant, I actually meant John Maynard Keynes.

In this episode I am joined by Zach Vaught, wood worker, entrepreneur, and podcast host at ‘Handmade Business Secrets’ podcast. Zach talks me through the story of how he took his woodworking from hobby to 25K-per-month business. We talk faith, the information sector, and the discipline it takes to start and grow a woodworking business. It was super fun and Zach is a really inspiring individual.

In this episode Nathan and I continue on the road from Marx to the present. We talk victimhood, Foucault and Derrida, power dynamics, intersectionality, identity politics, Evergreen State College, The 1619 Project, grievance studies, woke-ism in academia, and the way forward. Our current cultural woes are largely the fruit of seeds planted 50 years ago. Let’s start planting seeds for the future. Church, this is your time; Not to go along with nice-sounding arguments, but to stand firm on the Truth.

In this episode I am joined once again by Nathan Johnson, professor of Moral Philosophy at New College Franklin. We walk through the history of Marxism, stopping to highlight the Soviet Union’s try at the ideas. It’s like the same script has been playing out in various nations through history - hate capitalism and claim that it’s based on exploitation, communicate an oppressor vs. oppressed hierarchy, exalt the state as benevolent, etc. Do these ideas sound familiar? Nathan illustrates how we got from Marx to the cultural issues we are dealing with today. Stay tuned for episode 19 for a deeper dive.

In this episode I am joined by Matthew Erickson, the co-host of the podcast ‘Wealth, Power, and Influence with Jason Stapleton’. We discuss the prevalence of bias in the main stream media. We try to take an objective look at examples of journalistic bias on both sides of what is predominantly a two-sided political spectrum, admitting our own biases all the while. The discussion took a turn into the philosophical and theological... Tune in to hear a rousing exchange between this Protestant Christian and an ex-Seventh Day Adventist.

In this episode I throw out my thoughts on why capitalism is the economic system that is most consistent with the Biblical message. Private property, free-markets and competition, the profit incentive, wealth accumulation, purpose, and collectivism vs. individualism. Since I discussed the rationale behind the podcast’s wide range of topics - economics to content creation - this probably should have been one of the first couple episodes of the podcast.

In this episode I am joined by Darren Doane of the Doane Creative Agency. Darren has directed music videos for such bands as Zac Brown Band, Blink-182, Jason Mraz, Shinedown, Skillet, Propaganda, A Day to Remember, Jimmy Eat World, Chiodos, Kidd Rock, Atreyu, AFI, and I could go on and on. He has also directed and produced multiple documentaries such as ‘Collision’, ‘Free Speech Apocalypse’, and ‘Keep and Bear’, and even some feature films like Saving Christmas (featuring Kirk Cameron). Darren knows media, art, and marketing and his expertise in these areas make him the perfect person to come on and talk about the opportunities for the average Joe hobbyist/craftsman in this new social media age. The key is create, create, create. Content communication and killing your preciousness is the name of the game. You’re not sexy - just post it! There are no more gatekeepers! Make something.

This episode is a continuation (part 2) of the prior episode on AI, Economics, and Christianity. In Part 2 we dive into the philosophical/theological implications of artificial intelligence. In a naturalist materialist worldview, is there really a difference between a human being and an AI Robot? Can AI be neutral? What does it means that God gave Man dominion over the earth? The thorns placed in the Garden in Genesis (post-fall) are no match for the new Man in Christ. Let’s take his Glory into the wild and waste.

In this episode Zac and I are on our way to Atlanta. It’s a four hour drive and we have a lot to talk about related to artificial intelligence, economics and Christianity. Without getting into the terminator-esque discussion that is normally part and parcel to discussions about artificial intelligence (like you would hear on the Joe Rogan podcast), we talk about how artificial intelligence will affect economics in a practical sense over the next decade. Whereas technologists think of AI in terms of the cool things it can do, economists think of it in terms of the costs that it will reduce for the market place.

In this episode I am joined by Dr. P. Andrew Sandlin, minister, cultural theologian, and author; the founder and president of the Center for Cultural Leadership; faculty at Blackstone Legal Fellowship of the Alliance Defending Freedom; De Yong Distinguished Visiting Professor of Culture and Theology at Edinburg Theological Seminary; and core faculty at Even Runner International Academy for Cultural Leadership of the Ezra Institute for Contemporary Christianity. He was formerly president of the National Reform Association and executive vice president of the Chalcedon Foundation. Breathe out...
We discuss how Gnosticism rears its ugly head in the Church today and how it affects the way we live in the world. Dr. Sandlin gives insight into how Christians should view their vocations (career/craft) as it relates to the advancement of God’s Kingdom here on Earth, as well as whether or not we should expect our work to continue after Jesus returns, after he has placed all his enemies under his feet - the last enemy being death itself (Psalm 110:1). Should an entrepreneur plan for the growth of his business as though it will be obsolete when Jesus comes back? Or should he be planning the growth of his business farther than that? Listen in to find out.

In this episode I use the GarageBand app to quickly record some of my thoughts about inflation and the book of Isaiah. Please excuse the less-than-optimal recording quality. We discuss Thomas Sowell’s ‘Basic Economics’ and look at how the prophet Isaiah talks about inflation as evidence of Israel’s unfaithfulness while in exile. How does this relate to our coronavirus stimulus checks?
I also introduce a new episode type where I will be interviewing entrepreneurs, content creators, side-hustlers, and businessmen about their creative journeys.

In this episode I am joined again by the one and only Nathan Johnson (no relation) to talk about Jesus’ parables. How do we apply them to the business setting? Does the parable of the vineyard workers ascribe property rights to us? Are minimum wage laws biblical? Is God’s Word applicable on mars? Join us as we tackle these questions and more.

In this episode I am joined by the one and only Nathan Johnson (no relation) to talk about God’s law. What are the different types of laws in the scriptures? Mosaic Law, prescriptive laws in narrative form, proverbs, psalms, etc. How do we think about applying these in the marketplace setting? We have a brief discussion about Theonomy and the general equity approach to Old Testament law application. ‘Thou shalt build a parapet around the roof of your house’, thou shalt not muzzle an ox as it treads out the grain’, are these laws really binding on us today?

In this episode, we dispel the popular notion that the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown is an issue of ‘people vs. profits’. Along with discussion about increased activity in Zac’s police work we talk about what happens when an economy tanks - mortality rates, the Great Depression, and the Weimar Republic (post WWI). Finally, we discuss an article that claims freedom in the market place is not enough to ensure human flourishing. We agree.

In this episode Zac and I discuss COVID-19 and all that it means for the stock market, the economy, and even the police department. Will the economy continue to dive or will it, once the fears of COVID-19 are over, have a “V-shaped recovery?” We also take on the sensitive topic of price gouging. Is it moral, should it be legal? And finally, Zac and I shoot the breeze over the most inspiring or interesting side-hustles that we’ve seen people start up to bring in more income.

This episode is a continuation of episode three on eschatology. We discuss popular misconceptions that lead to apocalyptic end-times readings of scripture. The methodology by which you study scripture should be consistent with the genre of the book/letter. Everything we see in Scripture should be interpreted using precedents set in other parts of the scriptures (interpret scripture with scripture). We don’t use newspaper headlines to interpret scripture. Blood moons, wars and rumors of wars, evil emperors, earthquakes, 70 A.D. This was a fun episode. The future is looking bright.

In this episode I am joined (again) by Zac Johnson (my big little brother) to talk about eschatology.
We talk about the Garden of Eden and man’s God-given task to be fruitful and multiply; to fill and subdue. What does ‘the fall of man’ mean? How do we see that in the world today. We explore the idea of thorns in the narrative of scripture and the role of the foretold conquering King. History is one of hope, not of pessimism. And the atonement of the King has application for everything that we do - including economics and the marketplace.

In this episode I am joined by Zac Johnson (my big little brother) to talk about apologetics.
What is apologetics? How do we use God’s word to reason with unbelievers or to justify our claims about the world? We go through a couple of examples of objections to using the Bible as our standard and we discuss how everyone has a worldview. Is what you say about reality consistent with the way you live and interact in the world?
This framework, which we call the presuppositional approach, directly applies to business and economics. We talk through a couple of ways that self-proclaimed secularist people and businesses assume a Biblical worldview even though they reject it with what they say.
And yes, I ask a police officer how the Bible applies to his job as an enforcer of the law.

Buckle up because it may be a bumpy ride.
In this episode I introduce the Christ and Capital podcast, the show dedicated to encouraging everyone to ‘Love God. Love Neighbor. Build Something’. Any economy or society that is going to flourish will hold to these tenants.
I talk about the methodology and the framework that I intend Christ and Capital Podcast to follow and even give some examples of how the assumptions and presuppositions we take to the market place are religious in nature.
