Temperance | Good Money

Temperance can be applied to money fairly simply: if you spend your money on bad things, you won't have money to spend on good things. Marc Barnes and Jacob Imam fill this out a bit and challenge you to reconsider where you're spending your money.

Are Emergency Accounts Wrong? | Good Money

If money is a placeholder (see Two Rules for Money) and you need to know what it holds a place for—does this mean that emergency accounts are wrong? Is "emergency" a sufficient place to be held? How much or how little is prudent/imprudent? Marc Barnes and Jacob Imam, as usual, have an opinion.

Money and Magic | Good Money

Magic obscures cause and effect. Marc Barnes and Jacob Imam argue that money functions a bit like magic, at least obscuring the true cause and habituating us to the idea that we can be our own gods.

Redemption | Good Money

Many of us think of debts as finite monetary obligations, but that's just a modern re-framing. In this episode Jacob Imam argues that true debts can never be repaid and that gifts are supposed to create true debt—debt that builds a community of love rather than a system of repayment. Marc Barnes is there, too.

It may seem like Good Money is advocating eliminating all wealth. Is being rich sinful? Bad? Jacob Imam and Andrew Jones provide some nuance to the question of being rich.

Financial Independence | Good Money

F.I.R.E. = Financial Independence, Retire Early. Work is a sacramental insofar as it was a gift God gave us in the garden, which helps us participate in Him. So ceasing from work is not a good thing, but retiring from certain jobs is. Tune in with Marc Barnes and Jacob Imam to hear the pros and cons of F.I.R.E.

The Year of Jubilee | Good Money

It's the visible sign of an invisible power. It denotes the limits of a community. It is the lifeblood of a nation. It connects the citizen with the sovereign. Money serves a similar formative role in the nation as the Eucharist does in the Church. Marc Barnes and Jacob Imam discuss.
