Seed Time Money (Christian living & Personal Finances)

Today, we're chatting with Greg Baumer, co-author of "True Riches: What Jesus Really Said About Money and Your Heart" and "God and Money." This is a thought-provoking discussion as we explore the intersection of faith, finances, and finding true contentment in Christ.

• Greg Baumer's Journey: Discover how Greg and his co-author, John, navigated the world of wealth and business at Harvard and how this journey transformed their understanding of money and faith.

• Confronting Materialism: A candid look into how our culture is deeply entrenched in materialism and how this affects our spiritual lives.

• The 'Christian Halo' Over the American Dream: Challenging the common Christian financial narrative that focuses more on material success than spiritual wealth.
