A Biblical Perspective on Economics, Tariffs, & Inflation | Family Meeting | 7/31/25
Update: 2025-07-31
Description
This week on the Family Meeting, Krista was joined by Kevin Briggins and Dr. Jeff Degner from Cornerstone University. We reacted to a recent social media post on the CFBU Facebook page where commenters were talking about blending Christianity with socialism—can they coexist? Dr. Degner, an expert in economics from the Mises Institute, unpacks a few of the theological and economic flaws of socialism, drawing from Genesis 1:27-28 to highlight its conflict with biblical principles like private property and human nature. We also talked about the current administration's tariff policies, minimum wage and inflation from a biblical point of view.
