Economist Jerry Boyer unpacks the biblical foundation of economics and reveals how Christian investors can reclaim their voice in the marketplace. We explore God's original economic design in Eden and how tariffs contradict God's plan for mutually beneficial global exchange.

• The Bible has economic dimensions that are often overlooked or flattened
• God created an economic system from the beginning with rivers flowing resources throughout Eden
• Christian money is being weaponized against Christian values through uninformed shareholder voting
• The "anointing track" and "business track" must work together for kingdom impact
• Confrontations about wealth in Scripture were about theft, not honest prosperity
• Tariffs disrupt God's design for nations to complement rather than compete with each other
• Christians can become change agents by investing strategically rather than just divesting
• Most Christian shareholders unknowingly vote in favor of policies they oppose
• The gates of hell are defensive - we're on offense when we engage economically

Consider how your investments may be voting against your values, and explore ways to align your economic choices with biblical principles. Together we can become the adult supervision in companies that have lost their way.

Dr. Connie Brooks breaks down the misconceptions around deliverance ministry and demonstrates how Christians can experience complete freedom from generational curses, demonic oppression, and emotional wounds.

• Deliverance and healing are not the same thing - deliverance specifically addresses demonic influences while healing addresses wounds
• Christians can experience demonic oppression and even possession from influences that existed before conversion
• Deliverance ministry operates in four areas: inner healing, addressing demonic strongholds, physical healing, and emotional wounds
• Many people confuse needing discipleship with needing deliverance - those needing discipleship often struggle with offense rather than demonic influence
• Generational curses and "familiar spirits" can be passed through bloodlines and manifest even in Christian homes
• Deliverance can happen instantly in some cases, but often requires a process that unfolds in layers like peeling an onion
• Many emotional issues have spiritual roots that counseling alone cannot address

Make sure you subscribe, follow and share because we've got many more amazing guests coming up every week. As Dr. Connie Brooks says, "The Bible says deliverance is the children's bread, but you've got to eat of it."
