Learn how to invest faithfully.

An on-demand course that brings biblical direction to the practice of modern investing.

The challenge of faithful investing

Does your investing honor God? If your answer is “I don’t know,” you’re not alone. Most Christians know their investing should align with their faith, but they worry that (at least some of) their investing does the opposite. Still, they don’t really know what faithful investing would mean in practice, much less how to put it into effect. Among the key challenges:

The complexity of investing

Separation from investment decisions through outsourcing

Lack of framework, tools, or time for evaluating investment opportunities from a biblical perspective

Overview of the Course

Self-guided classes

Reflection questions

Supplemental resources

In our free, self-guided course, we provide education related to a biblical approach to investing. Over the course of 8 lessons we explain the basic purpose of investing, outline how the biblical story speaks to that purpose, and then provide considerations for how to practice faithful investing today.

Each lesson of this course will consist of: a video lecture on that lesson’s topic, questions for reflection, and supplementary resources for going deeper.

Addressing Objections

If the fact that living in a fallen world means all companies are broken, is an attempt at discerning good companies even possible?
