Comparative advantage

Economic flourishing, rightly understood from a biblical perspective, is a form of love made visible through the sacrificial exercise of our God-given gifts.

These gifts are our comparative advantage for the sake of kingdom impact.

When we entrust our talents, experience, and expertise to God, we have a powerful redemptive influence.

Welcome to the Redemptive Economics Podcast, where we are empowering Christian entrepreneurs to make a redemptive economic impact here in Pittsburgh and beyond.

This is simultaneously a rejection of ultimate allegiance to Caesar or worldly authorities and corrupt economic systems that actively seek to thwart God's purposes.

All right, so if you have your Bible with you, we'll be looking at 1 Corinthians 12 today, where the Apostle Paul will take us to school on the eternal significance of our spiritual gifts.

I like to call this, as you've heard me mention already, our comparative advantage for accomplishing God's redemptive purposes.

So comparative advantage is an economic principle that basically just says that an individual firm or country can produce a good or service at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partners.
