Introduction to Redemptive Economics

Welcome to the Redemptive Economics Podcast! In this first episode I introduce myself and the basic premise of the show. I also define redemptive economics so we start with a solid foundation for future episodes.

DEFINING REDEMPTIVE ECONOMICS:
Starting Premise - God, through his sovereign will and the power of the Holy Spirit, is accomplishing his redemptive purposes in and through our economic activity. Consequently, our role in that economic choreography either conflicts with, or contributes to, God's redemptive purposes.

For the Christian, Redemptive Economics means participating in productive economic activities that…
1. Add value and contribute to human flourishing.
2. Reflect the materiality of God's kingdom.
3. Promote God's redemptive purposes.

3 CATEGORIES OF REDEMPTIVE ECONOMICS:
1. God’s Dominion & Our Stewardship
2. Aligning with God’s Redemptive Plan
3. Adding Value with a Kingdom Mindset

FIVE REDEMPTIVE ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES:
God's Dominion & Our Stewardship
1. We acknowledge God's dominion over all resources and the authority
of Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit.
2. Our role, through secondary sovereignty, granted to us by God, is to
steward His resources.
3. As stewards of God's resources, we invest in what we know and
understand, and what allows us to leverage our unique God-given
gifts and wealth of knowledge.
4. We are active, not passive, investors of God's resources as stewards
who will be held accountable.
5. We embrace honest money, banking, and investment practices in
obedience with God's mandate for just weights and measures.
