  • Summary

  • ​​Our religious and wisdom traditions actually have a lot to teach us – and have for millennia – about one of the greatest sources of stress and struggle in our contemporary lives. This podcast finds the seldom visited intersection of “Personal Finance” and “Religion & Spirituality.” It’s not academic scholarship or theological discourse. It won’t have stock tips or market predictions. Instead, each episode features practical insights and discovery on how our wisdom traditions pave a path – whether you're religious, spiritual, or none of the above – on navigating our complex financial lives. - Tom Levinson is Jewish, a family financial advisor with a religion degree from Harvard Divinity School, and the author of All That’s Holy: A Young Guy, an Old Car, and the Search for God in America. - Amber Hacker is a committed Southern Christian, an MBA-holding personal finance nerd, and the COO for Interfaith America. Between them, you’ll hear about prophets and sense, values and value, and the many ways to be rich in this life.
