What lies behind the financial success of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Church Historian Casey Griffiths seeks to challenge common assumptions—that the Church's wealth is secretive, excessive, and mismanaged. He helps us understand that the Law of Consecration, a principle rooted in unity and faith, is the cornerstone of its financial practices, guiding its mission and humanitarian efforts worldwide.
We discuss common misconceptions, the balance between saving and giving, and why the Church operates differently from other religious organizations. If you’ve ever wondered where tithing funds go, why the Church invests in businesses, or how financial decisions align with spiritual principles, this conversation is for you.

I’m 73 years old, I’m a retired carpenter. My father was a union carpenter, not active in the church but I remember back in the 1960s he said if it wasn’t for the church building buildings there wouldn’t be much work for the construction trades. The building of temples and churches blesses the lives of alot of people just because of the blessings of creating jobs. It’s great.
