Everyday Ethics is a practical resource series designed to make Christian Ethics accessible and actionable for everyday life. Grounded in the enduring insights of Dr. T.B. Maston, this initiative offers approachable, biblically rooted reflections on character, moral decision-making, and how we treat others, delivered in a way that invites thoughtful engagement, not argument. Created for use in Sunday School classes, Bible studies, campus ministries, or personal learning, Everyday Ethics meets people where they are and encourages them to grow.

It’s not a textbook. It’s not a sermon or a lecture series. It’s a toolbox for better living and deeper understanding.

Episode #7: Money, Sex, & Power

Episode Overview:
In this Season 1 finale of Everyday Ethics, David and Bill turn their attention to a third major triad in Christian ethics: money, sex, and power. These three forces shape much of human life (personally, socially, and spiritually) and often intersect more than we realize. Together they discuss how each can be used responsibly or misused destructively, and how Christian ethics invites us to move beyond either/or thinking toward a more faithful, balanced understanding of stewardship, relationship, and influence.

No issues touch us more profoundly or universally, and few require a more thoughtful Christian response.
