Is It Wrong to Want to Be Rich? | Malcolm Foley on 1 Timothy 6:6–10

In this episode of What in the Word?, Malcolm Foley joins Kirk E. Miller to discuss the challenging passage of 1 Timothy 6:6–10. Together, they unpack Paul’s warnings about the desire for wealth and consider how the love of money is described as a root of all kinds of evil.

Dr. Foley—pastor, scholar, and author—helps us think biblically about wealth, contentment, and how the church can resist the cultural pull toward materialism.
