Is Compassion Enough? | by Tom Nelson

The Faith and Investing Podcast

In Mark 12:31, Jesus says that the second greatest commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself. This call to neighborly love, along with the preceding primary command to love God with mind, body, and soul, is a beautifully succinct summation of the moral law. Yet despite its rhetorical simplicity, the practical application of this command can often feel impossibly complex.

This is especially true when it comes to financial and investment decisions: how do we economically love our neighbors?

In today’s episode, we feature an article by Dr. Tom Nelson that seeks to try and help us answer this question by looking at four strategies we can consider for increasing our capacity for neighborly love.
