Flashback Friday Ep 52 - Building Wealth VS Being Holy: The Intersection of Faith and Finances

In this flashback Friday episode of the Share The Wealth Show, Dexter Jenkins shares and explores the tension between building wealth and being holy, and examines how individuals can navigate this intersection to align their financial decisions with their religious values. Dexter B. Jenkins is a faith-based financial mentor who spent more than two decades in the financial services industry. He is passionate about helping families build generational wealth with easy-to-implement steps. A popular speaker on the topic of wealth building God’s way, he is an authority on faith and finance. As Senior Pastor of Fellowship Christian Church in Boston and Managing Partner of Dominion Real Estate Holding, LLC, he sensed early in life that teaching financial literacy was his calling. Through what he coins the “SHIP Method,” Jenkins shows people how to get out of debt through stewardship; create a legacy through entrepreneurship, and learn strategies on real estate ownership. There’s no question that his integrity, wisdom, and wealth-building philosophy is a voice needed today. ________________________________ Interested in investing in small multifamily?
