Episode notes

I'm really glad James is a Christian and in the world of finance. He's bringing his insights perspectives to bear, you know, I think in a really appropriate way. And partly what it means to be involved in human life is to touch money and all of the fallen and necessarily impure things. Just that element of humility and grace that I think is present in that recognition. You are also training and teaching students to go into the world of Finance. Why do you think it's so important for Christians to have a voice and have a presence in the worldof finance?

Are Christians called to navigate their finances differently from everyone else? Are the oft-repeated directives to save aggressively and avoid all debt either scriptural or wise? Is it possible that spiritual wisdom and practical wisdom are sometimes one and the same? Join David and Curtis in this excellent discussion with James Choi, Professor of Finance at Yale. As a Christian and a behavioral economist, James brings both spiritual and practical wisdom to the area of personal finance and exposes where some of our most popular financial gurus might be giving us poor advice.
