The Biblical Wisdom of Jubilee for Capitalists

The Biblical Wisdom of Jubilee for Capitalists

I’m honored to contribute my voice to this growing movement. About a year ago, I stepped away from being a Missions Pastor to co-found a family office with my parents. At times, I am humbled by the daunting yet joy-filled role of being a capital steward under Jesus.

A Kingdom Perspective on ESG and Impact Investing

A Kingdom Perspective on ESG and Impact Investing

I believe the ESG philosophy is inherently flawed and insufficient to produce the holistic and enduring flourishing we desire to see in our organizations and in our world. Impact investing, while not perfect, possesses a greater ability to promote holistic prosperity without the risks associated with ESG investing.
