Description

On today's podcast Jason Myhre, our Executive Director at the Eventide Center for Faith & Investing, sits down with Dr. William Cavanaugh, professor at DePaul University. The two discuss Dr. Cavanaugh’s background and areas of focus, his recent article for ECFI on the invisibility of the people behind the companies we invest in, and how a biblical vision of the world helps demystify investing.

Also in this episode, Dr. Cavanaugh addresses two common objections to faith-driven investing:

1. I’m not involved in my investment decision making, that’s someone else’s responsibility.
2. We live in a broken world, with sinners involved in every level of society and business. Is it even possible to attempt to differentiate good companies from bad?

On the podcast today:

• Matt Galyon, Associate Director for ECFI
• Jason Myhre, Executive Director for ECFI
• Dr. William Cavanaugh, Professor at DePaul University
