## Resource

What does it mean to think Christianly about economics? Dr. Joe Boot is joined by Ezra Institute Fellow David Bahnsen to explore how Scripture shapes our understanding of work, wealth, capital, markets, debt, and human flourishing.   Beginning with the creation mandate, they discuss work as an essential part of humanity’s God-given calling—not a necessary evil—and explain how capital and labour can work together to cultivate creation and serve others. They also examine the dangers of socialism, state intervention, consumer debt, class resentment, and the growing hostility toward productive enterprise.   Finally, David offers practical principles for building wealth faithfully: rejecting covetousness, embracing productive work, living within our means, creating more than we consume, and seeking not merely to survive, but to thrive for the glory of God and the advancement of his kingdom.
