“At core, how we relate to others and the broader world is a matter of how we understand the meaning of stewardship. My sense is that theological imagination can help us experience those relationships in new ways – ways that rewrite the course of the world toward greater expressions of equity, equality, and peace. Faith+Finance matters so much because it will be a container for these kinds of questions.”

“All in! Faith+Finance is pulling together the most astonishing future-church thinkers I know, and strategizing about the most important issues facing 21st century Christians—how to notice Jesus bringing life from the rubble, how to leverage abundance in order to practice resurrection. The folks doing Faith+Finance are the leaders I want my students to be like.”

“This gathering is an important one for those who see justice as a part of your faith journey. Inequity often occurs because of our lack of understanding of finances and creativity, as people of faith our commitment to Shalom needs to be tied to shared wealth. This conference will bring these things together as part of the journey towards equality.”

“In Jesus’ teachings, faith and finance are inextricably linked. Whether we are poor or rich, how we view and handle money reveals our trustworthiness, lifestyle of worship, and potential reward.”

“I will be attending Faith+Finance because the church is struggling to engage in mission that really matters and figure out how to fund that mission. But we are not broke. There is enormous potential to put the dynamic power of social enterprise to work alongside church-owned property and investment. Faith+Finance will be one of the most vibrant spaces of 2020 to collaborate in this important work.”
