David Skiel Argus was appointed to the fiscal control board by President Obama in 2016. He is one of the world's leading expert on the legal framework around debt and debt forgiveness, which is a key way that our law structures. And so we're going to talk about all of that, but I want to begin by giving our listeners a glimpse into you,. David Skiel: How I became a Christian, how I embrace Christianity began in college.

This week David and Curtis are joined by David Skeel, one of the world’s leading experts on bankruptcy law and the Chairman of the Financial Oversight & Management Board for Puerto Rico, which was responsible for helping the territory restructure and cut its public debt by 80%. David brings a unique perspective as both a legal scholar and follower of Christ, particularly around how our understanding of debt can and should image Biblical values while not being strictly prescribed by Biblical law.
