Ep. 44 - What is Money? - Brent Vanderwoude

Inflation? Soaring gas prices? Seemingly impossible to invest? What can  seem like a complex topic or one that Christian shouldn't necessarily talk about, money affects us all. We sat down with Brent Vanderwoude, the founder of Good Stewards, a real estate investment company, to talk about all things money related. Getting down to what money really is, it's history, Bitcoin and how we as Christians should think about and interact with it.
