Business in the Kingdom

Jerry Bowyer 32 Episodes

Every part of life is, or at least should be, in the Kingdom of God. As the great theologian Abraham Kuyper once said, “There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, ‘Mine!'” Business, finance and economics are every bit as much part of the Kingdom as churches and ministries. And Jerry Bowyer believes that, in our day, the marketplace will be key to revival, reformation and renewal. Hear him discuss these essential issues on “Business in the Kingdom.”

  • How "Socially Responsible Investing" is Hurting our Food Supply

    In a recent article in National Review Online, Nebraska Treasurer John Murante (https://ballotpedia.org/John_Murante) demonstrates that the ESG investing approached (Environmental, Social, Governance) being promoted by giant asset managers hurts not only the fossil fuel industry, but agriculture as well. Since the poor spend a much larger proportion of their income on food and energy, an investment approach that attacks those industries attacks the poor. Treasurer Murante also discusses with Business in the Kingdom how ESG empowers tyrannies such as China.

  • Religious Liberty Group Denied Service by Chase Bank

    Former Governor, Senator, and Ambassador Sam Brownback tells Business in the Kingdom how the religious freedom organization he founded had its bank account cancelled, suddenly, without warning and without explanation. Instead of slinking away, the group has launched Chased Away (https://thencrf.org/chasedaway), a campaign to stop banks from discriminating based on religious and political views.

  • Christian State Official Stands up to ESG Agenda

    Allison Ball, Treasurer of Kentucky, is an attorney and a person of faith. As such, she takes her legal and ethical obligation to oversee state finances, including pension funds, as an inviolable duty. That is why she has resisted industry pressure to embrace the financial fad of ESG investing, which replaces the goal of the best financial outcome for retirees with goals of political and social outcomes. Whether it's pushing to eliminate profitable fossil fuel investments from portfolios or to use shareholder money to vote for pro-abortion resolutions, Treasurer Ball and other state officials are resisting attempts to replace prudent financial management with an imprudent social agenda. She joins Jerry on this episode of Business in the Kingdom to tell her story.

    The Treasurer of Utah recently wrote a letter to the ratings service S&P to object to agencies beginning to downgrade states' creditworthiness based on political, not financial, factors under the guise of ESG Investing (04-21-22-Utah-Letter_SP-Global_ESG-Indicators.pdf). Treasurer Oaks (www.marlooaks.com) found himself having to defend his state's pristine credit rating, not because of any financial problems, but because of pressure from political activists. He spoke with Business in the Kingdom about why people with different doctrinal views and different political views should be united in opposing the imposition of a single political ideology using the lever of concentrated financial power.

  • Why Christians Should Care About the Ideological Capture of Corporate Boardrooms

    “It’s your money, and it’s being used against your values.” On the latest Business in the Kingdom, Andrew Olivastro, Vice President of Outreach for the Heritage Foundation, talks to Jerry about DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion), ESG (Environmental, Social Governance), and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), and how they are killing corporate America and why Christians should be concerned about how activist groups on the left have hijacked corporate America.

  • Christian Employers Are Under Attack

    Christian business entrepreneurs face enormous challenges. In addition to the problems all business leaders confront, such as stagflation and labor shortages, Christians in business bear the pressure of living in a culture that is increasingly anti-Christian in its moral orientation and coercive in its tactics. Mandates regarding the funding of abortion and sexual-reassignment surgery are no longer future threats, but have become present realities. How can Christians in positions of top leadership in companies fulfill their obligations to serve their employees and also survive and thrive in a hostile environment? Shannon Royce of The Christian Employers Alliance (Christian Employers Alliance) joins Business in the Kingdom to talk about these and other important issues.
