  • 048 Confusion About Stewardship: Money, Idols, and Living in a Received World (with Bitcoin)

    Have a question or comment for us? Email us at ⁠[email protected]⁠

    Two Christian pastors on the Bitcoin Reformation Podcast share life updates—post-Easter busyness, kids’ stories, family visits, a missed Mount Whitney permit, college graduation plans, a Europe trip funded partly by Bitcoin savings, and a son’s baseball home run—before shifting to a faith-focused discussion on stewardship. They frame the world as “received,” emphasizing that stewardship is about far more than money: time, talents, relationships, and even children as gifts from God. They challenge the idea that God wants people’s money, arguing God wants hearts and warning that mammon is a pervasive idol measured by fear, love, and trust. They connect this to Bitcoin through love of neighbor and Bitcoin’s fixed rules and limits, and they address the myth “I have nothing to give,” stressing that presence, prayer, and community are real gifts, encouraging regular giving without tying it to earning God’s favor.

    David Rufner and Jared Townley, two pastors on the Bitcoin Reformation Podcast connect Holy Week reflections and Christian apologetics with a “back to basics” question: what makes good money. Using a chart of seven monetary qualities (durable, divisible, fungible, portable, verifiable, scarce, track record), they compare cows, gold, fiat currency, and Bitcoin. While not comprehensive, they lead us to consider why we might desire a different money than the current currency we use on a daily basis.

    Have a question or comment for us? Email us at ⁠[email protected]⁠

    David Rufner and Jared Townley, two Lutheran Pastors on the Bitcoin Reformation Podcast discuss how Bitcoin is being used beyond simply buying and holding, offering a layman’s overview of emerging financial products while urging listeners to do their own research. After personal ministry and family updates during Lent, they frame Bitcoin as sovereign money—especially vital for people facing currency debasement, like citizens in Iran—then focus on Western use cases. They explore People’s Reserve ideas for Bitcoin mortgages and Bitcoin Mortgage Insurance (BMI) that converts PMI-like payments into Bitcoin with the goal of paying off a mortgage sooner, Strategy’s “Stretch” (STRC) perpetual preferred stock targeting ~11.5% return on capital for income-focused investors, Bitcoin high-income ETFs using covered-call strategies, and borrowing against Bitcoin to avoid selling and potential capital gains taxes, noting risks and past failures like BlockFi. They close by emphasizing Jesus, Lent, and Easter hope.

  • 044 Is Bitcoin Christianity?

    Have a question or comment for us? Email us at ⁠[email protected]⁠

    Join Pastor Jared Townley & David Rufner as they explore the similarities and differences between Bitcoin and Christianity. From “proof of work” as a critique of fiat money and as an analogy to Christianity’s claim that the faith stands or falls on historical events, especially Christ’s incarnation, death, and resurrection. They connect Bitcoin’s “don’t trust, verify” to Christian apologetics, arguing believers can investigate Christianity’s historical claims while recognizing faith still involves mystery. They note a major contrast: Christianity depends on its founder’s person and work, while Bitcoin continues without knowing Satoshi Nakamoto. They also mention both Bitcoin and Christianity assume a low view of human nature, and conclude that while Bitcoin may help “fix the money,” it is temporary compared to Christianity’s eternal hope in Jesus’ return.
