About this episode
Join us at the long table as we examine wealth, usury, and Christian conscience in light of Scripture and the Church’s historic teaching. From the Church Fathers to Luther and Walther, we explore why lending at interest was long understood as a moral and spiritual problem. Pastor Shemwell calls the Church to recover economic teaching not as political ideology, but as faithful Christian formation ordered toward generosity, neighbor-love, and trust in God’s provision.

About Today’s Guest
Rev. Vincent Shemwell is a pastor whose journey out of Roman Catholicism was catalyzed in part by Rome’s historical reversal on usury. In this conversation, he traces how Scripture, the Church Fathers, Luther, and the Lutheran Confessions shaped his conviction that lending at interest for profit is a first-commandment issue tied to idolatry and the love of money.
