June 22, 2020 13. Interview with Ben Schettler
On this episode, I sit down with Ben Schettler of The Center for Truth in Love to discuss the American church and a Christian worldview on finances. We talked through a variety of questions related money and the Bible including: why is money a difficult topic to discuss in the church? Is it wrong for a Christian to pursue wealth? Is "retirement" a biblical idea? Why is giving on the decline in America?

Ben gives some great insight into these issues and I think you will enjoy hearing his answers to these questions. For more info on Ben and his ministry visit https://www.thecenterfortruthinlove.org or https://www.facebook.com/BenSchettler
