Was Jesus Rich? Part 2

King's Council Podcast with Rylee Meek & Christian Edwards

It's crucial to remember that stewardship goes beyond just managing money; it involves using financial resources wisely to support and care for those in need.

Wealth and kingdom entrepreneurship, a captivating topic, intertwines spiritual principles and financial stewardship to support the less fortunate. Rylee Meek, a firm believer in this approach, sees the creation of wealth as a tool for righteous purposes, influenced by his view that wealth should be a resource used to bless others and advance God's kingdom. He underscores the significance of viewing money as a means to make Christians more effective in their calling and to create a positive global impact. Similarly, Christian Edwards sees wealth and kingdom entrepreneurship as tied to faithful stewardship and wealth creation for the benefit of those in need. He emphasizes not merely accumulating wealth for personal gain, but utilizing it to bless others, spread the gospel, and fulfill individuals' divine purposes. Both perspectives highlight a kingdom mindset in entrepreneurship, underlining the importance of aligning one's actions with God's will.

Quotes

"Because you can be incredibly successful at a lot of things and still feel like a failure if you're not operating for the God given intended purpose of why you were created on this earth." - Rylee Meek

"What would the devil fear more than a rich Christian? The devil. That the thing he fears the most is a rich Christian." - Christian Edwards

"It's not a lack of resources, it's a lack of stewardship." - Rylee Meek

"And when we do look at faiths, like Judaism, where they actually have no problem making money, they value money. They, they. Money is a part of all their ceremonies. Right. The exchanging of money. It's a noble, virtuous, moral thing to be wealthy. But the fact that they're taught that it's not a bad thing to make money, that's what we as Christians need to be teaching our children. Not only is it not just a bad thing, it's a good thing." - Christian Edwards

"We know we can't serve both God and money. It's impossible. So, we got to serve God to make money serve us." - Rylee Meek

"To raise up Christian entrepreneurs, to disciple Christian entrepreneurs, to not just go and make money for the sake of making money. In the end of the day, who knows how much will actually stay in their own bank account or stay in their own possession. Most of it should be given away, but God's going to give those giftings to the people who are actually advancing the kingdom of God." - Christian Edwards
