  • Back to the Bible Canada with Dr. John Neufeld - The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Understanding Christian Freedom

    What does true Christian freedom really mean? Dr. John Neufeld tackles 1 Corinthians 6:12-17, where the Corinthians claimed "all things are lawful for me." Paul doesn't reject freedom—he redefines it. Real freedom isn't doing whatever you want impulsively; it's the ability to choose deliberately what honors Christ. Your body isn't insignificant—it's designed for worship and part of God's eternal plan.

    The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture. In this three-week series, Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 5-7 to explore how the gospel creates a distinct counter-culture in the church. Addressing sexual purity, church discipline, and Christian identity, Dr. Neufeld challenges believers to live faithfully in a broken world—not by condemning culture, but by demonstrating Christ's transforming power through humble accountability, moral courage, and authentic community that offers hope to a watching world.

  • Faith & Finance - Talking to Your Advisor About Faith-Based Investing with Josh Bean

    Did you know your financial advisor can actually help you invest in ways that reflect your faith?

    Advisors do more than just help you hit financial targets—they can also guide you in making a lasting impact with your investments. Today, Josh Bean joins us to share how to start the conversation about faith-based investing.

    Josh Bean is the National Sales Manager for Praxis Investment Management, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.

    25 Years of Change in Faith-Based Investing

    About 25 years ago, Praxis conducted its first major study on faith-based investing. This year, they decided to revisit that research and see how investor attitudes have evolved.

    Partnering with Bellomy Market Research, the Praxis team surveyed over 1,000 individual investors and 400 financial advisors to explore the motivations, opportunities, and concerns surrounding faith-aligned portfolios.

    The exciting part is that the results confirmed what they’ve believed all along: people genuinely want to align their investments with what matters most to them. You can explore the full report at PraxisInvests.com/FaithBasedInvesting.

    According to the study, nearly half of all investors—48%—have already aligned their portfolios with their faith or are interested in doing so. What’s striking is that this number encompasses all investors, not just those with a religious background.

    People see investing as more than performance—it’s about purpose. They want their portfolios to reflect their convictions.

    The Advisor Gap: 78% Want Guidance, But Only 9% Are Asked

    Perhaps the most surprising finding is the communication gap between clients and advisors.

    78% of investors said it’s important for their advisor to discuss faith-aligned options, but only 9% of advisors say they actually bring it up.

    That gap is one of the biggest barriers to growth. Investors are eager. Advisors often just don’t know how to start the conversation. That’s where firms like Praxis can help bridge the gap.

    One reason some advisors hesitate? The lingering myth that values-driven investing means sacrificing returns.

    That’s just not the case anymore. At Praxis, they aim for benchmark-like returns through diversified, optimized portfolios. They screen out approximately 15% of companies that don’t align with their values and incorporate positive impact strategies—all while closely tracking performance.

    This approach isn’t just about numbers—it’s about stewardship. In the Parable of the Talents, Jesus commends the faithful servants who wisely managed what they were given. That’s our model—faithful stewardship with Kingdom impact.

    An Expanding Landscape of Faith-Based Options

    Faith-based investing has come a long way. What once seemed niche now includes mutual funds, ETFs, and multi-fund portfolios that reflect a range of Christian values and causes.

    Investors today can build diversified, competitive portfolios entirely within the faith-based space. There are more options—and better tools—than ever before.

    Among those tools are screening systems that allow investors to exclude companies that conflict with biblical values or to include those that make a positive social or environmental impact.

    Taking the First Step: Talk With Your Advisor

    For those new to this space, start the conversation. Ask your advisor, Can my faith be reflected in my investment strategy? That one question could open the door to an entirely new way of stewarding your money.

    To help, Praxis has created a free Faith-Based Investing brochure, available at PraxisInv

  • Allen Jackson Ministries - #710: Shaping Culture - Intent Matters

    We shouldn’t have to apologize for taking our faith into the public square. It’s not the only worldview in the public arena, and we have every right to live out our faith intentionally. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the need for us to stop hiding our Christian identity and instead shine the light of God’s Kingdom purposefully in our homes and communities. We are responsible for instilling our biblical values and morals in the next generation, and that begins at our kitchen tables. It won’t be easy. We will face pushback and hardship, but most things worth doing require discomfort and effort. Let’s determine to do the difficult thing in pursuit of God.

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - October 22nd - Galatians 5:22-23

    Galatians 5:22-23

    The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

    These beautiful spiritual qualities are the inevitable result of the Holy Spirit taking control of a person’s life. You can be sure of the genuineness of a person’s spiritual experience when you see these qualities in evidence. It’s interesting that Paul speaks here of the fruit of the Spirit but not the gifts, which are also the result of the Spirit being at work in someone’s life. Perhaps this is because the gifts of the Spirit can be mimicked, but the fruit cannot. Jesus spoke of those who, on judgment day, would say: “Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.” Jesus commented that he would have to reply: “I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws” (Matthew 7:22-23).
    Nobody would doubt the beauty of the fruit of the Spirit. We would all want our lives to be characterised by these qualities, and whether or not we display them is in our hands. The Holy Spirit wants to give us this wonderful fruitfulness – the question is whether we are willing to open ourselves up to the Holy Spirit. Paul was clear that our lives will be a battleground as long as we live and breathe on this earth. The voice of the Spirit will not be the only one that we hear, so we need to spend our days deliberately tuning in to the Spirit amid the clamour of other voices.
    Spiritual fruit is crucial in our own lives, but it is also an important way of recognising those who are genuinely working for God. The Galatians heard many false teachers and needed to be able to tell who they could trust. Jesus had addressed exactly the same situation in his Sermon on the Mount, when he helped people to recognise the difference between true and false prophets, saying: “You can identify them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:16).

    Question

    How are you seeking to grow the fruit of the Spirit in your own life?

    Prayer

    Loving God, thank you for the gift of your Spirit. Help me to open more of my life to his influence each day. Amen
