Most of us have no idea what our retirement money is actually funding.

A few years ago I started wondering if some of mine was supporting things I would never support on purpose.

So in this episode, I answer a question I get all the time.

Should Christians invest in companies that conflict with their faith?

I walk through the two main approaches: biblically responsible investing and buying in to influence a company from the inside.

I share the question I ask before buying any individual stock.

And I reveal the spending blind spot that might matter even more than your portfolio.

Strong believers land on both sides of this one, so we're not going to pretend it's simple.
