What is biblical responsible investing - and why does ownership matter?

In this episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, begins a two-part conversation on faith-based (biblical responsible) investing and why it often sparks such strong reactions.

Darryl breaks down what biblical responsible investing actually is, how it works within portfolios, and why it goes beyond the idea of "Christian companies." He also addresses common skepticism and explores the deeper question of whether investing is simply a financial decision - or a spiritual one.

This episode focuses on two of the four common perspectives on faith-based investing: those who are new to the concept and those who remain unsure or skeptical.

Episode highlights include:

• What biblical responsible investing is - and what it is not.

• How screening, mutual funds, ETFs, and managers are used in faith-based investing.

• Why ownership and consumption are not the same - and why that distinction matters.

• Real-life examples of how personal convictions shape investment decisions.

• The role of shareholder advocacy and proxy voting in aligning money with values.

• Why faith-based investing isn't about perfection, pressure, or judgment.

In Part 2, Darryl will explore the remaining perspectives - including investors who are fully committed and those who prefer a blended approach.
