How do our everyday financial choices connect to love of neighbor, care for creation, and the kind of world we hope to help build? Ahead of Faith and Money Network’s upcoming webinar with theologian and ethicist Dr. Cynthia Moe-Lobeda, we spoke with her about seeing our economic lives more clearly — and finding faithful, hopeful pathways toward greater generosity, justice, and shared flourishing. Read the full interview here. Events FREE Webinar: Pathways to a Moral Economy with Dr. Cynthia Moe-Lobeda Join us on Wednesday, October 28, 2026 from 7:00-8:30 pm Eastern for a free webinar featuring Lutheran theologian and author Dr. Cynthia Moe-Lobeda. Drawing from her recent book Building a Moral Economy, Dr. Moe-Lobeda will invite participants to rethink financial life not as isolated individualism, but as participation in a web of relationships that shape our communities and world. Together, we’ll reflect on practical and spiritual pathways for making values-aligned decisions about our economic lives — including how we eat, transport and shelter ourselves, invest, recreate, and more — with greater clarity and intention.
