Debt. Ugh, just reading it brings disappointment. Debt is one of those things that most people have, but people are often ashamed of and don’t want to talk about. Is there a reason to be ashamed? Is debt ever good?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through some statistics on debt in America, then dive into what the Bible has to say about principles and wisdom regarding taking on debt as well as whether or not Christians ought to loan to others. We hope that this episode will lighten the burden that debt has on the hearts of many who listen!
