Luke 12:13-21 is the “Parable of the Rich Fool.” While taking a class called “God and Money” at Harvard Business School, John Cortines paraphrased this parable to fit today’s financial realities. When he did, he realized that his own aspirations and beliefs were very similar to the man in the parable, and it started him on a course that permanently changed his view of money. You may enjoy using this adaptation in your own devotional time or sharing it with clients who you think might find it challenging and helpful.
John Cortines oversees the Maclellan Foundation’s investments and strategies to catalyze a global movement of generosity among all believers. While at Harvard Business School, he encountered a radical call from God to reframe his perspective on generosity and ultimately shift his career into the nonprofit sector. He previously served as COO of Generous Giving. John is the coauthor of two books on biblical generosity (God and Money and True Riches: What Jesus Really Said About Money and Your Heart) which together have over 60,000 copies in circulation.
