James Choi is a professor of finance at Yale University. His work has influenced the corporate world worldwide, especially on designing corporate pension plans. David French: James's faith very much informed his path going into finance and even some of the research that he does. And so we're talking to a leading expert in this field about how you can connect the dots between your faith and financial security.

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.
