S7 Bonus Ep2 - FAQs on Faith and Finance Choices

Author: Simon Glazier and Bex Elder September 18, 2024 Duration: 35:02

In this bonus episode, Simon and Bex discuss FAQs relating to the faith and finance choices that we make as individuals.

Some key points covered in this episode include the following:

  • The first question from a listener about individual faith and finance choices is from Charlie, who asks about giving principles: how much should we give, and to whom or what should we give? [02:24]
  • The next question is from Morven, who is interested in hearing thoughts about principles that can help us to decide how much it is appropriate to spend on ourselves. [09:14]
  • Simon then provides responses to three questions from Bex that are particularly relevant to the later stages of life: (i) Should Christians take out life / health insurance? [13:40]; (ii) What should the Christian attitude to inheritance be? [16:28]; (iii) What are three top faith and finance tips that Christian parents can pass on to their children? [20:38]
  • A couple of questions about how we should react to financial stress are then posed by Ruth, through Bex. [23:33]
  • Next up, Simon comments in response to three questions about best practice when managing church finances that were sent in by Guy. [27:19]
  • The final question provided by listeners was submitted by Alison, who asks: ‘How do we step out in faith responsibly?’ [32:15]
  • Simon rounds off the episode by encouraging listeners to get in touch with requests for topics to be discussed on the podcast, especially as future plans have not yet been finalised. [33:54]

Money, faith, and the practical realities of modern life often feel like separate worlds. 'Where Your Treasure Is...': The Podcast where Faith and Finance Meet bridges that gap, creating a space for thoughtful conversation about stewardship in a complex financial landscape. Hosted by Simon Glazier and Bex Elder, this podcast isn't about simplistic answers or prosperity gospel; it's a grounded exploration of how timeless biblical wisdom interacts with the nuts and bolts of financial planning, debt, investing, and generosity within the UK system. Each episode tackles a specific issue-from pensions and mortgages to ethical spending and the meaning of wealth-filtering it through a lens of Christian thought. You'll hear practical advice intertwined with reflective discussion, asking what it truly means to be responsible with our possessions. The goal is to equip listeners with both spiritual perspective and tangible understanding, fostering confidence and clarity in money matters. This is a resource for anyone seeking to align their financial life with their deeper values, navigating the tension between cultural pressures and faithful living. Join Simon and Bex for honest, accessible dialogues that make finance feel less intimidating and faith more applicable to your daily decisions.
