    S13 Bonus Ep2 Talking Faith and Finance with Kenny Primrose, Podcaster, Educator and Writer
    2026/06/30
    In the second bonus episode of Season 13, Kenny Primrose - Podcaster, Educator and Writer - shares insights into ways in which our lives – and our engagement with faith and finance matters - can be enhanced by asking better questions.Some key points of interest covered in this episode include the following:Kenny introduces himself [01:06] and talks about how he became a Christian. [02:05]In response to a question from Bex, Kenny talks about his professional involvements, including his podcast, ‘The Examined Life’, which invites guests to ‘distil their wisdom into a question we should be asking ourselves’. [03:55] Favourite episodes of the podcast have included Oliver Burkeman on life’s finite nature, Anna Lembke on our dopamine saturated culture, Iain McGilchrist on ‘What is my culture preventing me from seeing?’ and BJ Miller on ‘Loss, Meaning, and Learning to Feel’. [06:49]When it comes to faith and finance content, two podcast episodes have stood out for Kenny: Elizabeth Oldfield on ‘Who is it that I want to be becoming?’, in which she explores the formational nature of our interaction with money; and Peter Singer on ‘How ought I to live?’, a question that prompted Kenny’s friend, Aaron Moore, to sell all of his possessions in a piece of performance art called, ‘One Thing You Lack’. [11:13]On a personal level, Kenny is clear that money is a stewardship issue rather than an ownership matter, with one of the key messages of the Christian gospel being that life is a gift. The challenge, then, is to live out that principle in a culture which is driven by the market economy rather than by grace and generosity. [14:23]When asked about the application of biblical wisdom to contemporary society, Kenny suggests that it can be helpful to concentrate on enduring themes such as justice, generosity and responsibility or, in the Jewish tradition, Tzedakah (righteous acts), Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) and Chesed (charity or loving-kindness). [17:10] A particular challenge these days is that money is no longer directly associated with physical work; instead, it has become much more of an abstract concept, enabling it to take on a ‘value’ and role all of its own, often to the detriment of principles such as fairness, generosity and kindness. [18:15]Kenny’s experience of churches is that they have generally been reluctant to broach financial topics. He feels that is a missed opportunity and would welcome more directness from the pulpit on this matter, especially as Jesus spoke so often, so radically and so passionately about money. [19:50]There is a danger that we can be selective when it comes to absorbing biblical truths about money, so Simon and Kenny highlight the importance, for both society and the church, of being open and receptive to those messages, even if they are challenging to take on board. [23:01]The importance of making room for conversations about money on a regular basis - and not just when a crisis strikes - is also highlighted. If professional assistance is required, to deal with debt or other financial issues, CAP (Christians Against Poverty) is recommended as an excellent source of free advice and support. [24:21]Simon suggests that his own key question on a faith and finance theme would be, ‘How much is enough?’ For his part, Kenny’s choice is, ‘What does it mean for me to live in integrity? How do I integrate my beliefs with my actions and my words?’ [25:37]To find out more about Kenny, please go to https://kennethprimrose.co.uk/ , and explore his podcast, ‘The Examined Life’ .

  • S13 Bonus Ep1 Talking Faith and Finance with Lucy Peppiatt, President of WTC Theology

    S13 Bonus Ep1 Talking Faith and Finance with Lucy Peppiatt, President of WTC Theology
    2026/06/09
    In the first bonus episode of Season 13, Lucy Peppiatt, President of WTC Theology, shares insights derived from her research into what the Bible says about money, including how women fit into that overview.Some key points of interest covered in this episode include the following:Lucy introduces herself [01:21], comments on being a ‘theologian’ [02:39] and explains how she became a Christian. [03:54]Lucy describes the steps that led to her current role as President of WTC Theology and writing her first book, ‘The Disciple’. [06:34]In response to a question from Bex, Lucy talks about how she came to focus on what the Bible says about women [09:19] and goes on to share some examples of women in the Bible and the early church who had interesting interactions with money, wealth and possessions. [11:37]Lucy highlights how relevant the Bible remains today on financial matters, particularly with its main message that if you are a Christian, you need to be aware of the people around you who are in need, and you need to be prepared to meet that need. Furthermore, the Bible still speaks very powerfully to those at either end of the poverty / wealth spectrum, as does the general exhortation in Philippians 4 to ‘be anxious for nothing’. [16:14]Lucy comments that her personal approach to money has developed over the years so that she would now like to see far more transparency and openness among Christians on this topic, as well as real momentum being created to bring more and more people into a knowledge and experience of the joy of giving and of being generous. [19:51]It can feel awkward for church leaders to talk about money, but Lucy feels that it is a kingdom principle that should be given a natural, healthy and high profile in church life. [23:52]An upcoming project for Lucy is to write a couple of books on the pastoral epistles, and her preparatory work for that will include a teaching day that she is delivering in September on the topic of what those epistles say to the church. [27:14]When asked by Simon for recommendations of her books for listeners to this podcast, Lucy suggests ‘The Disciple’ and also ‘Rediscovering Scripture’s Vision for Women’.

  • S12 Bonus Ep2 Talking Faith, Families and Finance with Tarn Bright, Co-CEO of ‘Safe Families’ and ‘Home for Good’

    S12 Bonus Ep2 Talking Faith, Families and Finance with Tarn Bright, Co-CEO of ‘Safe Families’ and ‘Home for Good’
    2026/05/19
    In the second bonus episode of this ‘Family Matters’ season, Tarn Bright, Co-CEO of ‘Safe Families’ and ‘Home for Good’, shares insights into the practical, financial and emotional issues that need to be addressed when providing support for at risk children and families.Some key points of interest covered in this episode include the following:Tarn introduces herself [01:18] and then explains how ‘Safe Families’ and ‘Home for Good’ came together to form a combined charity with a shared focus on working with the Church to prevent children entering the care system, to support families in need and to campaign on related justice issues. [02:24]Tarn shares some of the ups and downs of her faith journey, including very difficult teenage years, striving for business success and a powerful conversion experience that led to a complete change of direction. [05:45]Tarn goes on to talk about her various Church and Christian Charity roles and comments on the life-changing potential of the gospel message of ‘Shalom’ - spiritual, social, emotional and economic wholeness – when it is lived out by Christians and churches in their communities. [11:39] On a personal note, she also describes how she came to adopt Mack and Charlie. [14:08]The Bible verse that has had the greatest impact on Tarn’s attitude towards money and finances, and has enabled her to handle them with a ‘light grip’, has been Psalm 24.1, ‘The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.’ [17:01]Tarn highlights the importance of financial literacy, particularly when it comes to understanding common financial activities and mechanisms. Not only Society but also the Church should be providing this knowledge because of the potential for good that can be achieved when this happens. [19:06]Tarn speaks about the significant responsibilities that are attached to being responsible for the finances of a charity. As well as regulatory requirements and fulfilling the aims of the charity, employee considerations need to be taken into account, as does the unpredictable nature of the current financial climate across the UK. Maintaining a focus on God’s provision and his faithfulness in such circumstances can be challenging but, in Tarn’s experience, has been the crucial perspective to adopt. [21:39]Tarn shares three ‘stories of hope’ to illustrate the transformative effect of volunteers and adoptive parents on family situations, ranging from life-changing support for women in isolated and vulnerable circumstances to a group of five siblings who have been able to grow up as a ‘family within a family’. [26:09]If anyone wants to contact ‘Safe Families’ and ‘Home for Good’ for support or to make enquiries of any kind, the best approach is to visit the website and to use the contact telephone number (0333 4141488) to get in touch. (An online form is also available.) [30:12]When asked for one final comment, Tarn urges each one of us to count ourselves in rather than out because that allows God to squeeze every ounce of potential and contribution out of us. [32:36]A further bonus episode with a special guest will be published on 10 June 2026.Suggestions or feedback arising from this episode can be sent via email to whereyourtreasureis@freerangepodcasting.co.uk while messages via Instagram should be directed to @whereyourtreasureispodcast.Our Instagram page will also provide you with additional content and features.This show has been brought to you by Free Range Podcasting.You can sign up to receive news and updates about this podcast by filling out the brief form to which you will be taken when clicking here: https://where-your-treasure-is.kit.com/13c7b5fec6
