Faith & Finance - Faith-Based Investing: Separating Fact from Fiction with Mark Regier

You may know how your retirement investments are performing, but do you know what they're actually supporting? For many Christians, stewardship shapes how we earn, spend, save, and give. Yet when it comes to investing, we may not think much about the companies and industries represented in our portfolios. Faith-based investing offers an opportunity to align those decisions more closely with our Christian convictions. But what does that look like in practice? Does investing according to your values mean sacrificing financial returns? And can individual investors really make a difference? Mark Regier, Vice President of Stewardship Investing at Praxis Investment Management, joined the show today to explore these questions. With more than 25 years of experience in faith-based investing, Regier offers a thoughtful perspective on how Christians can approach their portfolios with greater intentionality. Recognizing God's Ownership of Our Investments Faithful investing begins with a foundational biblical truth: Everything belongs to God. Psalm 24:1 declares, "The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein." This principle reminds us that we're not ultimately owners of our resources but stewards entrusted with managing what belongs to God. "When we think about it that way, our investments are just the same as every part of our life, where we ask the Lord to have ownership and control over what we do," Regier explains. One important consideration is that investing in a company often means becoming a partial owner of that business. Whether through individual stocks or investment funds, our financial resources are connected to businesses whose decisions affect employees, customers, communities, and the wider world. That ownership also brings an opportunity to stay informed and engaged. Just as Christians seek to honor God through their spending and generosity, they can also consider how their investments reflect their values. Faith-Based Investing Is About More Than Avoidance When people hear the term faith-based investing, they often think of avoiding companies or industries whose practices conflict with their Christian convictions. This approach, commonly called screening, is an important starting point. Investors may choose to exclude certain businesses based on their products, services, or practices. But Regier emphasizes that faith-based investing can go much further. At Praxis Investment Management, the goal isn't simply to avoid certain investments but also to identify opportunities to contribute positively to the world. These opportunities can include: Shareholder engagement: Using the responsibilities and opportunities of ownership to encourage companies toward more responsible business practices. Community investing: Directing capital toward initiatives that support underserved communities and expand economic opportunities. Impact bonds: Investing in bonds that help finance projects with positive social or environmental outcomes. Praxis incorporates these and other strategies into its ImpactX approach, which identifies seven ways investors can pursue positive impact through their portfolios. The broader principle is that stewardship involves more than asking what we should avoid. It also invites us to consider

Insight for Living Daily Broadcast - Look Who Jesus Hung Out With!, Part 2

Mark 2:13–17 Religion draws lines around who’s in and who’s out, but Jesus consistently crossed those lines. He called a despised tax collector named Levi to follow Him, crossing every line religion had drawn. The religious leaders were scandalized. Pastor Chuck Swindoll unpacks Mark 2:13–17, showing that Jesus intentionally pursued the very people the religious establishment rejected. He declared, “I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.” Set God free from the box of legalism. Welcome the Jesus who embraces the broken, the outcast, and the undeserving, and step into a grace-filled life of freedom and joy!

Max Lucado Daily Devotional - Simply Trust and Obey

Listen to Today's Devotion Jesus told the blind man, “Go and wash in the pool of Siloam,” which is translated, “sent.” Access to the pool of Siloam involved the descent of three sets of stone hewn steps, five steps each, no casual stroll for anyone, much less a blind man. But he did it, and he leaned over the edge of the pool and began to wash his eyes. And from one moment to the next, he could see. The question is often asked, what does a person need to know to become a follower of Christ? This story provides an answer. The man knew nothing of the virgin birth or the beatitudes. He received sight, not because he deserved it, earned it or found it. He received sight because he trusted and obeyed the one who was sent to open eyes that are blind. Remember friends, you are never alone. Read more You Are Never Alone: Trust in the Miracle of God's Presence & Power For more inspirational messages please visit Max Lucado.

A Word With You - New Ground - More Than Memories - #10384

I remember the day we ran into some newlywed friends of ours. They just had that look, you know, hand-in-hand and grinning. The bride and my daughter started to talk excitedly about how the wedding went. When it was time to leave, I couldn’t find my daughter, until I got into the van. There she was with our friend, the bride, and there were wedding pictures spread out all over the floor of the van. The new bride was talking about the ceremony, and the dresses, and the flowers, and who was in the wedding party, and how they did the vows and what happened at the reception. Of course my daughter was drinking it all in; she was delighted to hear it all. Well, of course, it’s normal for a new bride to keep talking about the day it all began, but eventually she’d better have something else to talk about. I’m Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “New Ground - More Than Memories.” The Apostle Paul had one of the most dramatic spiritual, shall we say, weddings in history. The day he and Jesus Christ got together was unforgettable; that great experience on the Damascus Road. And he did tell people about that glorious day that his relationship with Jesus began, but he wasn’t content with just having wedding pictures to talk about. Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Philippians 3:13-14, out of what some might say was the mega-Christian life of all time. Here’s what he says, “I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it, but one thing I do; forgetting what is behind and straining for what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Paul says, “There’s always a new front ahead of me; I’m always pushing for something new in my relationship with Christ. There’s always new ground to be gained just like an Olympic runner.” His testimony was as current as yesterday’s victory or today’s Jesus’ challenge in his life. You can’t get it by just living in your spiritual scrapbook; all those wonderful memories you have with the Lord. I think too many Christians are still just talking about the day it all began…their wedding day so to speak. “How I got saved. Oh, the day I accepted Christ! Let me tell you how I accepted Christ as my Savior.” And that’s important, but there’s got to be more than that. Even if it was five, ten, 20, 40 years ago, some people are still talking about that spiritual wedding day like that’s all there is. It’s good to show people how to come to know Christ, but a married couple is in trouble if most of what they have to talk about is still just their wedding. The question is, “What’s going on in your relationship today? How did this commitment change your life? How is Jesus changing your life right now? What’s the Jesus’ difference?” Not what happened five years ago or ten years ago, or the day you got together with Jesus. You say, “Well, we had this time when we went away together…” No, no, no, tell me about now. A marriage has to be built on new, current, growing experiences together. So is a relationship with Jesus Christ. Our churches may be filled with people who have only had the beginning of that relationship, but there’s really not much after that in the scrapbook. And there’s not much going on today. Maybe you’ve been living too much on memories and past accomplishments, old victories, and aging miracles. Paul says, “Forget what is behind; press forward to new ground.” Let the Lord touch you in a new way today. Every day give Him a specific piece of new ground, and then you’ll have more than a wedding to talk about. You will have a fresh, exciting, life-changing relationship.
