Can $40 End Poverty? | A Microfinance Masterclass with Peter Greer
We often think the only way to help the poor is to give them things, but what if the most powerful gift is an opportunity?
On this episode of Nuance, Case interviews Peter Greer about how small loans are restoring dignity and hope in some of the world's most underserved communities. Peter explains the "math of the Kingdom," where a single seed of investment can multiply a hundredfold, not just in financial returns, but in restored families and thriving churches.
Through moving examples, they discuss the difference between a "scarcity mindset" and an "abundance mindset," showing how even the smallest act of planting a seed can lead to a harvest that feeds nations. Peter also tackles the tough questions about dependency and explains why savings-first models are often more effective than debt. This is a deep dive into how faith and finance intersect to create lasting change.
