Helping the Poor: Wealth Creation or Wealth Redistribution (TARIF 239) – Missionary Minds
Does helping the poor require wealth redistribution—or wealth creation? In this episode, we examine biblical economics through the lens of recent G20 priorities and Africa’s ongoing struggle with poverty. Scripture calls Christians to care deeply for the poor, but also to think clearly about which economic systems actually lift people out of poverty long-term. We explore why free markets, grounded in private property, entrepreneurship, free trade, limited government, and the rule of law, align with God’s design for human flourishing. Discover why coercive redistribution fails, why socialism impoverishes nations, and how biblical stewardship offers a more compassionate and effective path forward.
