Why did the church file 13F documents with separate shell companies if there was no tax advantage for doing so? Could there be more to the story than simply saying church leaders listened to bad legal counsel in the context of the recent SEC fine? What’s the latest on the case of James Huntsman, who is currently suing the church to get over $5 million of his tithing returned to him? And should church leaders be more transparent with church members about church assets? Why or why not? And what about the size of the church’s multi-billion dollar reserve? How can we best situate or contextualize that amount relative to other large organizations? And with so much money, does the church even need our tithing dollars anymore? How effective is the church at humanitarian work? Like, if we wanted to donate to humanitarian aid, would we be better off giving our money to the church or some other humanitarian organization? And finally, is capitalism compatible with consecration and Zion-building? All of these questions and more coming your way on this episode of Church History Matters. This is the eighth and final episode of our 8-part podcast series on Consecration and Church Finance.
