YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In this lesson, Pastor Ben confronts one of the clearest contradictions between the Kingdom of God and capitalism: usury. The Bible is unambiguous—charging interest to the poor is a sin. While God commands that lending be an act of mercy, capitalism has made interest the foundation of its system, extracting profit from the desperation of others.

We explore what Scripture says about usury, why it is called “detestable” by the prophets, how the early church condemned it, and how capitalism has normalized it. From payday loans to student debt and international finance, interest has become a chain around the poor that God never intended.

Join this teaching as we expose the lie that debt is freedom, and reclaim the truth that in God’s economy, lending sustains life, not bleeds it dry.
