Episode 90 – “Screen & Clean: Investing That Honors God”
In this powerful episode, Jay Peroni, CFP® unpacks what it means to invest with both wisdom and conviction. Most investors assume their portfolios are “neutral,” but Jay reveals that many mainstream investments quietly support causes and industries that contradict biblical values. That’s why his message is simple but urgent: before you build wealth, you must Screen and Clean.

Jay explains that Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) is more than avoiding controversial industries, it’s about aligning every financial decision with faith and purpose. He likens it to tending a garden: you remove the weeds so good fruit can grow. Through real-life stories, Jay shows how investors can transform their anxiety into peace by aligning their portfolios with biblical principles.

The conversation also explores market concentration risk: the danger of being too dependent on a handful of large companies that dominate the market. Jay contrasts that with the biblical call to build on a firm foundation, creating portfolios that are both clean and diversified.

Listeners learn how Faith Investor Services uses advanced screening technology and independent research to track corporate behavior and maintain moral alignment. Jay then introduces practical steps for creating a faith-based plan that balances growth and protection – what he calls offense and defense.

Finally, Jay reframes retirement itself: not as an end, but as a new beginning. Faith-based retirement planning is about purpose, not passivity, using every season to serve God and impact the next generation!
