In this episode, Bryce Eddy sits down with returning guest Mason Mennenga for a deep—and sometimes heated—debate about Christianity, capitalism, and the moral implications of wealth. Mason, a self-described Christian anarchist, argues that billionaires can't possibly follow Jesus. Bryce pushes back, defending capitalism and challenging Mason’s take on money, morality, and ambition. The two cover everything from Elon Musk and early church economics to biblical interpretation and the future of the church. Whether you agree or not, this is a must-listen for anyone interested in faith, freedom, and what it really means to be a follower of Jesus.
