Capitalism has proven to be the most successful economic force in the world. The factors in that success are a mix of good and evil. It feeds off of people’s God-created desire to be free, and also people’s tendency toward greed.
The Apostle Paul makes it clear that there are things about this system that we need to keep our guard up about. The hunger for material riches is a temptation, a trap, foolishness, destructive, and a heresy.
Money has a place in the Christian’s life, and in building up the kingdom, but it is not to be the object of our love.

"I've been a WH podrishioner for several years now and I can't tell you how much it has changed my life. I came across these podcasts at a time when I was in an extremely unhealthy/abusive situation, and these teachings were immensely influential to me maintaining my faith and sanity. THANK YOU for showing me what a Jesus-looking God is like and what it means to follow Him. Many, many blessings to all of you!"
