    The Redemptive Enterprise 6: Escape the Corruption of the World & Invest for Kingdom Impact

    Corrupt socioeconomic systems incentivize entitlement and rent-seeking, which can tempt us to view profit and wealth as the goal. However, wealth is NOT a finish line, but a tool entrusted to us for the purpose of Kingdom Impact. God will hold us accountable for how we utilize our wealth either for worldly purposes or for God's redemptive purposes. In today's episode, we finish looking at Redemptive Economic Principle #4... "We reject idleness and dependence on coercive redistribution, instead choosing to create, build, and invest wisely, knowing that we will give an account for our management of God’s resources." In this session we'll finish looking at Luke 12’s parable of the rich fool and the returning master imagery, which condemns selfish hoarding. Instead, the bible teaches that wealth should circulate to serve others and build kingdom impact.

    The Redemptive Enterprise 5: Unmasking American Socialism, A Biblical Challenge to Idleness & Coercive Redistribution

    The United States has been a socialist country since at least the turn of the 20th century, dependent on coercive redistribution and crony capitalism. So, what does the bible have to say about creating value and doing business in a culture characterized by idleness and complacency? In today's episode, we begin looking at Redemptive Economic Principle #4... "We reject idleness and dependence on coercive redistribution, instead choosing to create, build, and invest wisely, knowing that we will give an account for our management of God’s resources." We examine Luke 12:13-48, where a man demands Jesus redistribute wealth for his own selfish purposes. Instead of playing economic enforcer, Jesus warns against greed and the desire for possessions through the parable of the rich fool. All productivity ultimately depends on God's sovereignty, not human effort alone. Therefore, God calls us to entrust all of our productive efforts to him, as a redemptive force that serves kingdom purposes rather than participating in corrupt economic systems.

    The Redemptive Enterprise 4: How to Unlock Your Comparative Advantage for Kingdom Impact

    As stewards of God’s resources, we should invest where we have specialized knowledge, God-given talents, and vocational calling so we can serve others effectively and glorify God. Today, we finish looking at Redemptive Economic Principle #3... As stewards of God’s resources, we invest in areas where we have specialized knowledge, God-given talents, and vocational calling. This ‘comparative advantage’ enables us to serve others most effectively while glorifying God. From 1 Corinthians 12 Mike argues that confessing, “Jesus is Lord,” carries theological and political-economic implications, making economic activity non-neutral and every economic decision an act of allegiance. Mike explains that spiritual gifts are divinely distributed “capital” for the common good, compares the body metaphor to economic interdependence and comparative advantage, and stresses that efficiency without agape love is empty.

    The Redemptive Enterprise 3: The Stock Market Undermines Local Economic Impact

    Christians' fixation on retirement and investing in the stock market is undermining our local economic impact. Our valuable resources are funneled into the stock market, centralizing wealth and preventing us from leveraging our God-given talents and expertise to serve our neighbors locally. Today, we introduce Redemptive Economic principle #3... As stewards of God’s resources, we invest in areas where we have specialized knowledge, God-given talents, and vocational calling.

    The Redemptive Enterprise 2: Redemption Over Retirement - Trusting God, Stewardship, and the Parable of the Bags of Gold

    We continue our journey through Mike's digital course, The Redemptive Enterprise: 15 Biblical Principles for Building a Profitable Business of Eternal Significance. He challenges America’s fixation on retirement, arguing it reflects scarcity, fear, and distrust of God, while aiming for “redemption” reflects faithful productivity for God’s kingdom. We finish looking at Matthew 25’s Parable of the Bags of Gold and learn how our view of God's character ultimately determines whether we become storehouses for our own greedy purposes, or stewards for God's kingdom purposes.

    The Redemptive Enterprise I: God Called You To Be An Entrepreneur!

    God’s first call on humanity was entrepreneurial. In fact, the bible teaches that your business is your ministry. Today we begin a new series based on Mike's digital course, The Redemptive Enterprise: 15 Biblical Principles for Building a Profitable Business of Eternal Significance. Drawing from Matthew 25’s parable of the talents, Mike emphasizes principle #1: God's Goodness and Sovereignty in granting us dominion as stewards for his kingdom purposes. He reframes entrepreneurship as experimental discovery under God’s laws and urges Christians lay claim to God's creation mandate which is a call to entrepreneurship - to be fruitful, create, and add value for others.

    What the Empty Tomb Teaches Us About Entrepreneurship
