Money is taboo enough that when you add in Christianity to the discussion things get sticky real fast. But it seems to us that having honest conversations about our lack of contentment and never-ending desire for more is a healthy thing to do. Ben Kirby (of Preachers N Sneakers fame) created an instagram account to stimulate these discussions. Then he wrote a book expanding the conversation about some questions 21st century Christians should be asking. Ultimately our goal is never to judge how someone else spends money, but rather to take an honest look at what we can learn from our own mistakes and the mistakes of others.
