The Bitcoin and the Bible podcast is focused on glorifying God by applying a consistent Biblical worldview to the topic of sound money and specifically Bitcoin. It was developed in 2021 as a means to connect Christians with the Biblical rationale for embracing Bitcoin as a saving technology. Recognizing that money is a challenging, but necessary topic for believers, the structure of the podcast is discussion based with an emphasis on mining the Bible for truths regarding God’s will for money, saving, commerce, and stewardship.
The podcast is divided into seasons and begins by providing a foundation for understanding how Bitcoin functions as a money, technology, and network. It also provides a summary of how the current global financial system measures up to God’s standards for money. In the second season, a careful examination of Scripture begins at creation and walks through what the Bible teaches regarding how God views money, government, trade, labor, commerce, and savings.
God’s word is the same yesterday, today, and forever, but requires constant attention from Berean believers (Acts 17) as they seek to develop and apply a consistent Biblical worldview in a rapidly changing environment. As Bitcoin develops and matures the podcast will continue to examine it in light of the Biblical teaching on sound money and how in God’s providence it can be used by believers for His glory.
