Your business is your ministry. There are no "ordinary" business activities within the context of the kingdom of God. Everything we do, as entrepreneurs, has eternal consequences. As God's covenant people, we are called to reflect justice, mercy, and truth in all of our economic activities. We must be intentional about integrating kingdom principles into our business practices and viewing every interaction as an opportunity for God's work. #RedemptiveEconomics #Pittsburgh

Arbitrary inflation 🎈of the currency supply📈is theft. The dollar is a dishonest weight and measure by biblical standards, and the government is using it to reap where they have not sown. 🌱 #Bitcoin is better, an honest and transparent measure of value. This is why we believe the US Strategic #Bitcoin Reserve will have a redemptive impact.

🤔 How should we, as Christians, be thinking about the US Strategic #Bitcoin Reserve? Should we be optimistic? Pessimistic? What are the implications for us as we seek to make a redemptive economic impact? #Pittsburgh business owners, Rick Newton (Founder, Newton Institute) and Todd Blumer (President, SDG Systems), join me to explore the potential benefits and implications, particularly focusing on the biblical and ethical aspects of sound money exemplified in #Bitcoin. Ultimately, we believe that integrating #Bitcoin into national policy and corporate strategies can foster economic resilience and align with Christian stewardship principles. #RedemptiveEconomics #Pittsburgh Listen to the conversation here...

Your industry expertise 🧠 and business acumen are not merely a competitive advantage, but gifts meant for 👑 Kingdom impact. By intentionally aligning you and your company's unique strengths with opportunities to serve, you fulfill God's purpose behind your specialized knowledge and bring glory to God. STEWARDSHIP UNDER GOD'S PROVISION Principle #3 - As stewards of God’s resources, we invest in areas where we have specialized knowledge, God-given talents, and vocational calling. This ‘comparative advantage’ enables us to serve others most effectively while glorifying God. #RedemptiveEconomics #Pittsburgh

💪🏽 So proud of my first 1 ⭐ #podcast review!! 💪🏽 Yes, this is true, and I will shout it from the rooftops! 📣 I am a recovering porn addict who nearly destroyed my marriage before it even started...and several other times along the way. Remember, #God takes our struggles, weaknesses, sin, and failures and uses them for his redemptive purposes when repent and trust in Him. If it weren't for my struggle with pornography... ⭐ I wouldn't understand the depths of #God's unconditional love. ⭐ I wouldn't have a 21 year marriage built on the rock-solid foundation of #God's grace. ⭐ I wouldn't have a ministry to so many other #men who've struggled in the same way. ⭐ I wouldn't have written my book, "Manhood: Empowered by the Light of the Gospel" - All that, and more, not because of my efforts, but because of the restorative work of the Holy Spirit in my life. 2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I WILL BOAST ALL THE MORE GLADLY ABOUT MY WEAKNESSES, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." 🙏 Thank you, RandyTheRater, for giving me the opportunity to boast in my weaknesses for the glory of #God! 🚀 Amen! #RedemptiveEconomics #Pittsburgh image
