As my wife and I are getting over a head cold, I asked Eric Luppold, host of the Governed By God podcast, to let me republish an episode we did in the beginning of May.Eric interviewed me on the topic of Biblical money and how the current government and banking system corrupts everything by not following God’s laws about money.We hope you enjoy this discussion. Eric asked a lot of good questions!This interview originally aired as episode S1E29 – Economics and Money on Governed By God.Check out Governed By God on the Christian Podcast Community.Support Eric’s work by becoming a Patreon.*****Like what you hear?
