I’m excited to share this special "on the road" episode recorded at the "Bitcoin is for Everyone" conference in Portland, Oregon. Joining me are Ahshuwah Hawthorne, who has previously been on the show, and Nate Scholz, who has been working behind the scenes to help churches and missions organizations understand Bitcoin.
You'll learn about the upcoming Christian economics conference we're hosting in Nashville on July 24-25. We dive into why it's essential to have such a conference and what we aim to achieve. Ahshuwah shares his eye-opening analogy about the financial system being like polluted water that we often overlook, and why it's crucial to address these systemic issues.
Find out more about Nate's fascinating journey in the missions field, including his time in Lebanon and his work with diaspora communities in the US. He talks about the significant benefits of face-to-face communication and how they help build a supportive community.
Discover the exciting lineup of speakers we have for the conference and discuss the importance of bringing together Christian leaders and Bitcoin experts to explore the intersection of faith, economics, and Bitcoin.

Missionaries often encounter broken monetary systems, especially in regions far from the stability of the US dollar.
In this episode, I'm joined by Ahshuwah Hawthorne and Nate Schultz to discuss an exciting intersection of Bitcoin and missionary work. We dive into the financial challenges missionaries face and explore how Bitcoin offers innovative solutions.
Ahshuwah and Nate share their experiences from the frontlines, working with refugees and connecting with global missions. We highlight the success of Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, and discuss how its circular economy model can be replicated elsewhere.
We also touch on financial education for missionaries, particularly in Africa, and the importance of equipping them with both economic wisdom and Bitcoin knowledge. Plus, we discuss the significance of networking within the missions community to foster collaboration and share resources.
Tune in to learn how Bitcoin is transforming missionary work, solving real-world financial problems, and helping spread the gospel more effectively.
