#christianityintegrated #effectivealtruism #christiansforimpact

In this episode of the Christianity Integrated Podcast, we are joined by JD Bauman, the Director of Effective Altruism for Christians and the Director of Christians for Impact. JD discusses the concept of effective altruism, an idea and movement that encourages using evidence and data to find the best ways to do good in the world. We explore how Christians can integrate this approach into their lives by donating to effective charities, considering impactful careers, and even taking a 10% giving pledge. JD also touches on the differences and similarities between general effective altruism and effective altruism tailored for Christians, emphasizing the importance of cultivating virtues like self-giving love. Discover how to make a meaningful impact in areas such as global health, poverty, climate change, and more, all from a Christian perspective. Here you can learn how to use your resources, time and money to further the Kingdom and make a real difference in the world.
