About this listen
Tax Day has a way of stirring up more than just paperwork—it stirs up questions. In this episode, Ted gathers around the table with a couple of his friends for a candid round table discussion on taxes, stewardship, and responsibility.
But beyond the numbers and deadlines, there’s a deeper tension many of us feel: contributing to a system we don’t always understand—or agree with.
This episode doesn’t offer financial advice (far from it), but it does explore something more personal. Why does the tax system frustrate us? Where’s the line between obligation and conviction? And how do we respond in a way that reflects both our values and our faith?
Drawing on the words of Jesus Christ—“render unto Caesar”—we wrestle with what it means to live with integrity in a complicated world. Do we simply comply? Push back? Stay engaged?
Maybe the answer is found somewhere in the middle: being honest, informed, and involved citizens—while treating others with respect and keeping our perspective grounded.
It’s not about having all the answers. It’s about asking the right questions… and continuing the conversation.
