Biblically Responsible Investing with Robert Netzly
How do you get major corporations to stop funding Planned Parenthood or convince hotel chains to remove pornography from their properties? It’s all spelled out in the book Biblically Responsible Investing. But be warned: reading it could ruin your life for the better! Today, host Rob West chats with the author, Robert Netzly, about a movement shaking up some of the world’s largest companies.
• We must remember this first: “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God,” (1 Corinthians 10:31).
• We must be intentional when selecting companies for our portfolios—they ought to be aligned with God’s heart. We should find the most Biblically-aligned companies in which to invest.
• Our heartbeat regarding finances ought to be to invest God’s money (because it’s all His) according to God’s values for God’s glory and for our joy.
• Look for and embrace companies that are operating in line with Biblical values.
• By investing only in Biblically-based companies, is there a sacrifice of returns? No, all research indicates that isn’t the case and that there is no trade-off.
