For seven years now, I have been a part-time investment advisor for a firm I helped start with my dad in 2009, while spending a good chunk of the rest of my time studying and writing in the field of Christian ethics. I joke that Im doing an experiment to try to prove Jesus wrong about the whole no man can serve two masters thing, but theres enough truth to it that I can laugh only uneasily at my own joke. From the beginning, I have felt a profound tension between the things Im supposed to say and do as an investment advisor and the things Im supposed to say and do as a Christian ethicist.
