Economic Wisdom Project Talks are short, accessible, engaging and rich presentations by leading theological educators, suitable for classroom and local church use. They’re about 15 minutes and feature compelling stories and simple structures, yet they convey essential “meaty” insights and catalyze conversations about how we can more fully live out the wisdom, grace and power of Jesus Christ in economic life – and how economic systems themselves can conform more fully to God’s standards of justice and mercy.

Now, it’s easier than ever to find the talk you can use in your classroom!

As our library of talks continues to grow, we’re making sure you can find the educational tools you need. Recently, we have organized the talks by topic to make that even easier.

Use the links below to go to our YouTube page and see the playlists for these topics:

You may already be familiar (if you’re not, get educated!) with our Curricular Integration pages, breaking down ON resources by academic discipline. We’ve included the Economic Wisdom Project Talks there as well. So if you want to find the talks most relevant to your discipline, that’s another way to search. And of course there’s much more great stuff on those pages for you to consider!

We’re looking forward to adding more talks to our library at Karam Forum 2020 – including a talk by Greg Forster on practicing economic wisdom, a talk by Jules Martinez on building the kingdom across ethnic lines, and a discussion with Lisa Slayton and Terry Timm on what kind of work pleases God.
