Only 38% of Gen Z can answer basic financial literacy questions — making them the least financially literate generation on record. And even baby boomers only clock in at 55%. Aaron Caid, Chief Marketing Officer of Adelfi, the largest Christian banking institution in the country, joins Brian From to talk about why that matters, what the Bible actually says about money (over 2,300 verses worth), and how generosity was never meant to be the last thing you do with what's left. It's the first. Adelfi was born nearly 70 years ago when a group of ministers discovered banks didn't understand them — so they pooled their resources to help each other — and now serves Christians in all 50 states across individuals, families, churches, and ministries. Aaron also makes a personal confession: he talked to his kids about money but never actually showed them how the family finances worked. And he argues that modeling is more powerful than instructing. A practical, grounded conversation about stewardship, generosity, and how to start the money conversation even when it's uncomfortable. Find Adelfi at https://www.adelfibanking.com/.

The idea of “the common good” has a rich history within the Christian church. It’s the notion that, as we pursue Jesus in our lives and in the lives of others, we are fulfilling God’s purposes for His creation. This pursuit can be messy. It means rolling up our sleeves and creating space for hard conversations about real issues that impact our lives. Things like parenting, marriage, finances, politics, art, and culture. On The Common Good, Brian From creates space to have these conversations, to sit with the big questions that we all have, to sometimes disagree, but to always look for the chance to create common good, by following after Jesus. Brian welcome listeners to join them in these conversations, to bring their own questions, hopes, and struggles, and to ultimately share in a journey to see God’s design for all of us fulfilled.
