All our money is God’s money, and that profound reality raises all sorts of questions about stewardship, like this question from a podcast listener named Collin, who finds himself in a tricky spot as he considers a career in financial counseling. “Pastor John, what would you say to a young man or a young woman who is interested in pursuing a career as a financial advisor? Should a Christian serve others by helping them plan financially for retirement, or do you think this is promoting an ungodly waste of retirement? I want to help others steward their money for the sake of Christ, but our society’s warped perspective on retirement makes me think twice about entering this profession. Can a Christian serve others and help them plan for retirement — even a very typical American retirement — with a clear conscience? Is financial planning a worthy Christian vocation?” Episode 1206: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/should-christians-save-for-retirement Related Resources: Episode 1139 “I’m Retired and Want to Do Missions — What’s My First Step?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyF7gWIl7qM Episode 1173 “My Midlife Crisis — and Counsel for Yours” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF1VD2sYTEs Episode 1200 “Reflections on the Seashells Sermon, 18 Years Later” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-I4dThd694 Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes, http://desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
