In Conversation With... Matt Tebbe: Making Sense of Mammon (Video Feed)

In this conversation, Greg Arthur and Reverend Matt Tebbe explore the intersection of faith and economic ethics, particularly focusing on the concept of mammon and its implications for spiritual life. They discuss the journey of understanding economic exploitation, the spiritual power of money, and the importance of community in addressing poverty and injustice. The dialogue emphasizes the need for a reimagined economy that prioritizes human flourishing over profit, and the role of the church in advocating for justice and equity in a world shaped by economic forces. Episode Takeaways: The journey into economic awareness often begins with social justice movements. Money is not spiritually neutral; it has a significant spiritual power. We often spiritualize poverty, which can blind us to the realities of those in need. The market is not a moral entity; it prioritizes profit over people. Small acts of sabotage against mammon can help reclaim our values. The Kingdom of God calls us to love and care for others, not exploit them. Flourishing in community requires a shift in how we view economic relationships. The good news of Jesus must resonate with those experiencing material need. Understanding mammon helps us see the systemic issues in our economy. Resources and community support are essential for navigating economic challenges.
