FAITH DRIVEN INVESTORS IS A PART OF THE “FAITH DRIVEN MOVEMENT” WORKING ON THREE FOCUS AREAS WHICH ALSO MEGERED WITH BOB BUFORD’S “HALFTIME INSTITUTE” IN AUGUST 2024. TODAY THE MOVEMENT IS USING THE RICK WARREN PEACE PLAN MODEL TO “SOLVE THE WORLDS GREATEST PROBLEMS” USING THE WEALTH OF CHRISTIANS WHO BUFORD (AND NOW THEY? ) HAVE” PRIMED TO BECOME BIG TIME PHILANTHROPIST”.

The biggest idea, according to mentor Peter Drucker that Texas cable TV mogul turned pastoral church growth COACH Bob Buford , ever had was his “Halftime” books and branding.
IN 2024 HALFTIME MERGED WITH FAITH DRIVEN INVESTORS.
To carry on Bufords “big idea” FOCUSED ON the wealth of Christians via Halftime ideology and global goals justice -Faith Driven Investors has now launched a new program.
AVOIDING CONFUSION BY UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS;
NOTE TO THE READER ON PALANTIR/ THIEL ASSOCIATES RELATIONSHIP TO THE HEGELIAN DIALECTIC AND TO MEMETIC THEORY.
“Palantir’s CEO, Alex Karp, confirms that he and Thiel engage a “classic German approach” when founding Palantir”, influenced by the concept of overcoming opposites using the Hegelian dialectic. This philosophical worldview is central to their approach to business and management.”
THIS IS HOW PALANTIR,THEIL AND HIS ASSSOCIATES CAN INHABIT BOTH SIDES OF POLAR OPPOSITES IN RELIGION, FREEDOM, POLITICS, WORLDVIEWS AND PHILOSOPHY.
THEY CAN:
Promote the Bible and Thiels book “Zero to One” side by side.
Promote the Christian Nationalist and roll out globalism and UN Global Goals.
Thiel can be a Christian (or Catholic or both) and a homosexual married to a man.
Stand for defending personal freedoms & help create /profit from the Surveillance State.
Champion free markets as Libertarians and find a home among MAGA Conservatives.
Promote Christians wanting to fund the Gospel trusting their wealth to U N Global Goals.
Warn about anti-christ & apocalypse while helping develop means to bring them about.
THIEL /PALANTIR ALSO ALSO ENGAGE “MIMETIC THEORY”.
MImetic Theory is a social and cultural theory espoused by René Girard, .convert from agnosticism to Catholicism. It asserts that human desire is developed and based on imitation of what others desire.
NOW YOU CAN READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLWING GIVEN THEIR ROLE IN-
“SOLVING THE WORLDS GREATEST PROBLEMS “

(MORE ON THAT LATER)
“Most notably, we’re indebted to the United Nations and its Sustainable Development Goals, the incredible work of our friends at Praxis and their Opportunities for Redemptive Innovation, as well as the National Christian Foundation’s ongoing efforts in defining the key causes important to Christian philanthropists.”…
According to Jim Collins who wrote a foreword for the 1st in a series of books- Halftime was inspired by the LBJ’s architect of The Great Society- John Gardners conspet of “Repotting” yourself at mid-life and starting giving away what you have earned. BUFORD REFERRED TO HIS WORK AS “PRIMING LEGIONS OF WEALTHY CHRISTIANS TO BECOME BIG TIME PHILANTHROPIST” FOR (AND IN THE GLOBALIST BOOK) THE WORLD WE WANT.
HALFTIME AND THE GREAT SOCIETY AUTHOR –
Here is the Collins Quote.
“In puzzling on Buford‘s questions, I‘ve come to see two distinct approaches to self-renewal—and I encourage you consider both as you read this book. The first lies in the late John Gardner‘s idea of repotting ourselves into entirely new activities as we move from success to significance, changing our activities from career to contribution. Gardner, former Secretary of health, education, and welfare (and author of the classic Self-Renewal), once told me that he planned to learn and grow as much between seventy and eighty-eight as between zero and eighteen. When challenged, Gardner said that he knew a little bit more about learning at seventy than when he was zero. Gardner pushed people to think about “repotting” themselves every ten to fifteen years, throwing themselves into challenges that extract hidden strengths. Buford picks up where Gardner left off, challenging us to see that some of our most significant and meaningful contributions should come in the second half, defying the view that creativity wanes with age. By repotting, you can recreate the sense of excitement and imagination experienced in your teens or twenties—again and again and again. Repotting also has the wonderful side benefit of slowing down time.”

“This list of problems is not original, but a distilled and coalesced version of the extensive research published by our partners. Most notably, we’re indebted to the United Nations and its Sustainable Development Goals, the incredible work of our friends at Praxis and their Opportunities for Redemptive Innovation, as well as the National Christian Foundation’s ongoing efforts in defining the key causes important to Christian philanthropists.
We worked from these resources to outline the issues most salient, important, and feasible for the Faith Driven community as they build, invest, and give toward change. This isn’t a definitive and exhaustive list. It’s a starting point for unique opportunities where entrepreneurs and investors can get involved.

FAITH DRIVEN /HALTIME PARTNERSHIP PROMOTING TRANSHUMANIST BILLIONAIRE PETER THIELS BOOK ALONG SIDE THE BIBLE
“BEST BOOKS FOR CHRISTIAN INVESTORS”
“We’ve collected a short list of books, curriculum, and resources that apply to the intersections of faith and investing. This is a broad conversation. As you would expect it leads to a wide ranging list. All of them come recommended to us by, well, you—the community of Faith Driven Investors.
As you look through it you’ll notice some are dialed into the idea of heart posture and making sure we embrace the ideas of generosity and stewardship. Others bring perspectives on investing and economics that are outside faith driven spheres but offer a rounded perspective of the larger conversations in culture. We’re also thrilled to highlight new works from groups like the Denver Institute on the Faith Driven Investing conversation and others from our friends at Praxis.
We hope this list enlightens you, challenges you, and also inspires all of us to propel this conversation forward.”
(FOLLOW THE LINK FOR YOURSELF)
“We believe that God speaks to us through His word and that all of Scripture is useful for instruction on how to live, work, and serve in any capacity. Scripture, when taken in aggregate, provides us with a great handbook on every question of life, and that includes how we steward our investments.
If you need a book to start with, this is the one. It’s easy to overlook, but it’s vital if we want to steward our life and our business for God’s glory.”
#7 Zero to One
by Peter Thiel
“The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things.
Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself.
Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique.”
CONCLUSION
Rick Warren was a Drucker /Buford disciple. His PEACE Plan was launched at the New York City Global Health Initiative in 2005 promoted at the United Nations Global Health event of globalist Bill Gates.

NOW- JUST LIKE HALFTIME AND JUST LIKE THE PEACE PLAN – FAITH DRIVEN INVESTORS IS SEEKING TO CAPTURE- NOT ONLY THE PHILANTHROPY BUT ALSO “THE OTHER 90%” OF CHRISTIANS WEALTH TO FEED THE GLOBAL GOALS AGENDA 2030. CAN WE IGNORE THE REALITY OF THIS AGENDAS ROLE IN THE ANTI-CHRIST MACHINE THAT IS GLOBALISM?
AND NOW- DO THEY ASSUME NO ONE CARES THAT THEY ARE ATTEMTPING TO DO SO OPENLY WITH A GAY BILLIONAIRE LIKE PETER THIEL?
STOP TRUSTING “CHRISTIANS” WHO PARTNER WITH GLOBALIST TO DIVERT God’s resources entrusted to you into United Nations Global Goals.
This LOOKS LIKE on ongoing trend and a massive deception and it is ramping up and far too many are being taken in.
2nd John 7-11
Beware of Antichrist Deceivers
7 “For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.
9 Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; 11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.”
