In this powerful episode of Faith & Retirement, Jay Peroni, CFP and special guest Robin John, CEO of Eventide Asset Management and author of The Good Investor explore how Christian investors can harness their wealth to not only grow assets—but to love their neighbor, fight injustice, and reflect their faith through investing.

The show opens with a provocative question: What if your money could do more than fund retirement—what if it could heal the world?

Jay reflects on meeting Robin back in 2008 before Eventide had launched and how their shared passion for biblically responsible investing created a bond. Robin shares the inspiration behind his book, emphasizing that investing is not just about profits—it’s about stewardship, joy, and aligning capital with Christian values.

The conversation dives into real-life examples of investors finding peace by moving their portfolios from companies that contradict their beliefs into ones that promote life, dignity, and justice. Robin challenges listeners to rethink investing as ownership, not just transactions—because what we own, we are morally connected to.

The second segment explores investing as an extension of one’s calling. Robin recounts a life-changing moment in India that led him to reimagine business as a tool for justice. Jay explains how that same idea translates into client portfolios—helping believers match their values with their investments.

Listeners hear a poignant story of a client unknowingly supporting industries she opposed and the emotional transformation that occurred when her money began reflecting her mission. Robin warns that over 60% of Americans are investors, but most have no clue what they own—and that must change.

Key Takeaways:

• Investing is not morally neutral—it directs capital and impacts lives.
• Biblical stewardship involves aligning your investments with your faith and values.
• Retirement portfolios can serve a higher purpose—fighting injustice, healing communities, and honoring God.
• Joy, not greed, should be at the heart of investing.
