Episode Description
Who is actually voting your shares?
In this episode of ChristianAlts, Matt sits down with Jerry Bowyer to unpack the hidden world of proxy voting, Christian shareholder activism, and the quiet corporate battles happening inside some of the largest companies in America.
Jerry explains why many Christian investors, advisors, churches, ministries, and institutions may not realize how their shares are being voted — or whether those votes actually reflect their convictions. He also shares the story behind major corporate engagements, including work with companies like JPMorgan Chase, Salesforce, Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, and others.
The conversation covers why selling is not always the only answer, how shareholders can engage companies directly, what changed in corporate America after 2019, and why proxy voting may be one of the most overlooked tools investors have.
Matt and Jerry also discuss Jerry’s background as a former Marxist, the rise of Christian shareholder engagement, the difference between values and virtues, AI-related corporate risks, and what everyday investors should ask their advisors, funds, churches, and institutions about how their money is being used.
If you own stocks, invest through funds, work with an advisor, or give to an organization with assets, this conversation will help you think more carefully about stewardship, ownership, and influence.
