Rooted Podcast: What does Proverbs say about wealth?

I recently sat down with some friends from Bible Society, Noel and Esther, to have a conversation for the Rooted Podcast. This podcast series looks at the book of Proverbs, following the theme of their most recent journal, and in this episode we considered what the book of Proverbs has to say about wealth.

In this conversation we discussed questions like:

  • What is wealth, and how does it relate to wisdom?
  • How does the prayer of Proverbs 30.7–10 address the dangers of both riches and poverty?
  • What does it look like to steward wealth well, as individuals and in community?
  • What challenges – and encouragements – does Proverbs offer to those experiencing poverty?

You can check out the podcast below (or wherever you get your podcasts), and if you’re interested in discovering more, do check out the Rooted journals.
