Investing as a Christian can raise many questions. Does God care about what we’re investing money in? Should investing for Christians look different than it does for the rest of the world? Today, host Rob West talks with Jason Myhre of Eventide to answer those questions and more.

Every dollar has a story of how it was earned, and God wants that to be a good story.

Through faith-based investing, you’re joining many other people who want to do good overall with their investing.

Investing is ownership, and with this ownership comes a voice at whatever company you’re investing in. You gain a bit of control and you can cause major change.

In the last 2 decades, faith-based investing has become a global movement involving hundreds of billions of dollars going towards this approach.

You can learn more about faith-based investing at InvestEventide.com.

Here are a couple of questions we answered from our callers on today’s program:

I have a universal life insurance policy, I’m in my 60s, and I have an opportunity to renew it. Should I renew it or should I go with something different?

My friends said investing into bitcoin is a good idea but I’m not sure. Can you give me some more information so I know if it’s really a good idea?

In John 16, Jesus tells us where to put our hope, In me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.Christ offers us eternal bliss in heaven, but that doesn’t mean we won’t have troubles in this world. Today, host Rob West welcomes Compass founder and author Howard Dayton for a hopeful message about life’s difficulties. Then it’s your calls at 800-525-7000.

Some challenges build slowly and can be anticipated, others appear without warning. Some are resolved quickly; others are chronic. Some reflect the consequences of our actions; others are completely beyond our control. Some crises impact an entire nation; others are isolated to us as individuals.

Surveys reveal that many marriages simply don't survive the stress of financial storms. I call these challenges the "storms of life." But you have to remember that whatever storm you face, you don't face it alone. Jesus Christ is with you every step of the way.

First John 4:8 sums up God's very nature: "God is love." God loves you, and throughout your whole life. He remains intimately involved with you as an individual.

And God has a purpose in allowing us to experience difficulties.

God uses difficult, sometimes heartbreaking times to mature us in Christ. In James 1 we find, Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

God makes no mistakes. He knows exactly what He wants us to become, and also knows exactly what’s necessary to produce that result in our lives.

The first and most important thing we must do is trust in the Lord. In Isaiah 26 we find, You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you."

If your crisis involves money, the first thing you must do is get your financial house in order.

The key to solving your financial problems is learning and applying God's way of handling money. It truly is that simple. You can learn exactly how to do that in Your Money Counts.

The most important thing not to do is allow your fear to dictate your actions, specifically in the area of giving.

That’s how we must act when facing difficulties. Don't allow a crisis or a pending crisis keep you from remaining generous. You may not be able to give as much as you have in the past, but still give.

Here are a couple of questions we answered from our callers on today’s program:

We had a HELOC and refinanced 10 years ago. When we did this, they restructured our loan so we would have two mortgages. We just found out that the HELOC wasn’t included when we restructured. We now have three mortgages. Advice on what to do?

Sharing financial principles with other people can be difficult, especially when coming from a biblical perspective. Today, host Rob West talks with financial expert and radio personality Dave Ramsey about wise money management and God’s financial principles.

We have a partnership with the Lord, when it comes to wealth and finances, that is both faith and work.

A lack of diligence makes you think you don’t have to pay attention to all the tactical, important things with finances.

If money is going to have a grip over our lives, generosity is going to break that.

Dave says that when viewing money with God you have to think, I don’t own it, I am just a manager and a steward.

Here is one of the questions we answered from a caller on today’s program:

I’m in the process of retiring. I’m 75, I have a small retirement fund, the doctor says I have a while to live, and I have life insurance where I can invest money. Would that be a good way to invest money?

Romans 3 has a prescription for difficult times, We glory in our sufferings, because suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character, and character, hope.Imagine trying to cope with the difficulties of the covid pandemicwithout knowing Christ and you quickly see there’s much to be grateful for. Today, host Rob West talks with investing expert Mark Biller about staying thankful. Then it’s your calls at 800-525-7000.

We should look to 1 Chronicles 29, which says, David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours.’

That gives us confidence that God is still in control. No question that this year has been a tough one. A global pandemic has taken over a million lives, leaving behind grieving family and loved ones. The financial costs are still difficult to fully grasp, with millions still out of work and countless businesses closed forever. Here in the U.S., the scale of the economic disruption has been unlike anything since the Great Depression.

We don’t know what the days ahead hold for the country regarding the coronavirus, and obviously while the election is over, the bitter political division in our country is not. The financial news may be discouraging and the stock market could be volatile. We need to hold on to the Lord’s conditional promise from the Sermon on the Mount: Seek first the Kingdom of God - above all else -, and live righteously, and [the Father] will give you everything you need. (Matthew 6:33 NLT).

At SMI, we counsel people in the protective money-management principles found in God’s word. We’re confident that by following them, folks can survive even thrive through these uneasy days and through whatever else that may come.

That starts with having the right motivation: seeing yourself as asteward, a caretaker, of God-given wealth. We find that in 1 Chronicles 29:11-12, Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours.

It is wise to start with a personalized investing plan. Proverbs 21:5: The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.

Your investing decisions should be based on inside-out thinking that reflects your personal goals and tolerance for risk. That will help you avoid getting distracted by stock tips or reports of what the smart money is doing.

As you plan, it’s important to be realistic with your goals. 1 Timothy 6 warns,Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.

It is important toremain thankful no matter what happens, you must put your confidence in God. When you do that, you’ll have no reason to be fearful and much to be thankful for. 2 Timothy 1:7 says,For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.

Here are a couple of questions we answered from our callers on today’s program:

What is the best financial advisor subscription service?

Is gold a good investment right now?
