What if your portfolio could help advance justice, compassion, and human flourishing?

Aligning your investments with your faith isn’t just about avoiding harm—but actively shaping the world around them for good. Stella Tai joins us to talk about how investors are putting their values to work in the marketplace.

Stella Tai is the Stewardship Investing Impact and Analysis Manager for Praxis Investment Management, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.

For many believers, investing isn’t just about building wealth—it’s about aligning financial decisions with faith values. Praxis Investment Management, a pioneer in faith-based investing since 1994, continues to demonstrate how Christians can utilize their investments to promote justice, compassion, and tangible change in the world. In its latest Impact Report, Praxis highlights how investor dollars are transforming communities and influencing some of the world’s largest companies.

Shaping a more just and compassionate world is something that’s important to many investors, particularly those of faith. Praxis’ annual report reveals where the money goes and how it’s used, inspiring others to view their investments as powerful tools for making a difference.

Praxis organizes its efforts around seven “impact strategies,” which support underserved communities, promote responsible business practices, and bring faith into everyday financial decisions.

One highlight of the report is Praxis’s work in shareholder advocacy with global brands like Nike.

Nike employs over a million people worldwide, many of whom are based in vulnerable regions. Praxis is part of a coalition pushing for stronger human rights protections in the supply chain, including safeguards against wage theft and exploitation. Every worker deserves to have their God-given dignity respected.

Praxis is also collaborating with companies such as Coca-Cola and Nestlé to address child labor and wage theft in the global sugar supply chain, advocating for third-party audits and increased transparency.

Beyond advocacy, Praxis invests in bonds that directly benefit communities. Recent purchases include:

• World Bank IDA Program Bonds, targeting extreme poverty with measurable results.
• Green and Sustainable Bonds from Freddie Mac, which expand affordable housing and environmental stewardship.

These investments generate jobs, improve access to healthcare, and help communities thrive—all while providing competitive financial returns.

Praxis’ report also shares stories of hope, such as the expansion of Always Keep Progressing, a Miami therapy center that serves children with special needs. Through investment partnerships, the clinic now helps more than 400 families.

This is redemptive investing in action. It’s about fostering human flourishing, not just financial gain.

Praxis also partners with Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and credit unions that serve neighborhoods often overlooked by traditional banking systems. These organizations offer small business loans, enhance access to healthcare, and provide support to underserved rural and urban areas.

Ever searched YouTube for how-to help and found some guy fixing a leaky faucet with nothing but a sock and a taco shell? Somehow, it worked, and you watched the whole thing. Why? Because we learn by watching someone else do it first. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie explains it’s the same with the Christian life. We help people find Jesus, and show them how to follow Him. Think of this as your spiritual “how-to” video… no taco shell required.

As Christians, we rely on the Bible to give us truth about God, instructions for life and guidance for the future. But we won’t reap these benefits unless we understand how to properly apply Scripture to life choices. Dr. Robert Jeffress urges us to give God’s Word the time and attention it deserves.

Satan's first lie was “Has God said...” planting seeds of doubt. He's still hissing that same song, trying to make believers doubt or ignore Scripture. In this message, Pastor Lutzer explains how to put on the belt of truth for our spiritual defense. What's the first step to standing firm against Satan's lies?
