Can a Christian be wealthy and still faithfully follow Jesus? Does the Bible condemn the rich? In this special extended episode, we hosted Truth Talk Live on the Truth Network for a full hour on a subject rarely touched from the pulpit: money, wealth, and the rise of social Marxism in America.We walk through what the Bible actually teaches about wealth — more is said about money in Scripture than heaven and hell combined — and take the harder cultural question head-on: is the church right to worry about socialism, and is James himself a social Marxist? Dr. Abidan Shah lays out the history of economics from Adam Smith to Karl Marx, explains why the labor theory of value breaks down, and shares what it was actually like to grow up in a socialist country. Along the way, callers phone in with real questions: Can you pursue financial success without it becoming sin? What does "the love of money is the root of all evil" really mean? And is it wrong to want to be financially successful at all?The through-line is simple but freeing: love God, use money — never the other way around. Money is a great servant but a terrible master, and the goal of wealth for the believer was never security. It was stewardship — creating and investing all of it back into the kingdom of God.Support the showDr. Shah writes a personal letter every week — reflections on Scripture, faith, and living it out with clarity and purpose. GET THE LETTER If you enjoyed the show, please like and follow our Facebook and Instagram pages, and also subscribe to our YouTube channel.
