The series is gen erously supported by the Joel W. Peterson Trust. \n\nInsurance does more t han calculate probabilities and pay claims. It determines how uncertainty\ , vulnerability\, and financial loss are shared—and who will be protecte d when catastrophe strikes. Decisions about pricing\, coverage\, exclusion s\, claims\, and capital therefore involve not only technical and commerci al judgments\, but also fundamental questions of fairness\, responsibility \, trust\, and human dignity.\n\nThis opening panel in the Prophets & Prof its series will bring together experienced insurance executives to explore how their personal moral and religious convictions inform the difficult d ecisions they face as leaders. How do they balance actuarial discipline an d financial sustainability with compassion and social responsibility? Are there ethical limits to risk-based pricing\, even when it is economically justified? What responsibilities do insurers have to individuals and commu nities facing risks they cannot reasonably bear alone?\n\nDrawing on both personal experience and professional expertise\, the panelists will consid er how these tensions shape their leadership\, their organizations\, the i nsurance industry\, and the communities they serve—especially in a world confronting growing climate volatility\, healthcare costs\, and interconn ected economic risks.\n\nPanelists for the event include: \n\nScott Jean i s President and CEO of EMC Insurance Companies\, where he has served since beginning his career as an actuary in 1991. A graduate of Iowa State Univ ersity\, he is a Fellow of the Casualty Actuarial Society and a Member of the American Academy of Actuaries.\n\nNick Gerhart is Chief Operating Offi cer of Homesteaders Life Company and previously served as Chief Administra tive Officer at FBL Financial Group and Commissioner of the Iowa Insurance Division. He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Northern Iowa and both law and health-administration degrees from Saint Louis Unive rsity.\n\nChristian Walk is Senior Vice President\, Legal and Associate Ge neral Counsel at Global Atlantic Financial Group\, as well as a respected leader in Iowa’s insurance community. An attorney and ordained minister\ , he brings a distinctive perspective on the intersection of professional responsibility\, faith\, and ethical leadership.\n\nJason Giles is a share holder at Nyemaster Goode whose corporate practice encompasses insurance\, mergers and acquisitions\, commercial transactions\, governance\, and ris k assessment.

Peterson Trust. \n\nIs the United States healthy? Is it wealthy? How do we know? This lecture employs approaches u sed to measure well-being in “developing” nations to explore the relat ionship between health\, wealth\, flourishing\, and community in religious and economic contexts. While Max Weber\, Karl Marx\, and Robert Putnam wo rried about the instrumentalized\, rationalized place of religion or its a bsence in capitalist systems\, economists\, philosophers\, and practitione rs of international economic development proposed integrated models of eco nomic advancement that framed prosperity in terms of flourishing\, communi ty\, and capabilities often tied to religious ideals. What might this mean for the contemporary United States when religious\, financial\, and socia l systems are struggling in the face of political polarization\, globaliza tion\, and demographic and environmental change?\n\nDr. Jill DeTemple is P rofessor and Altshuler Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Department of Religious Studies at Southern Methodist University. She received her B . A. in Asian Studies from Bowdoin College\, her M. T. S. in Christianity and Culture from Harvard Divinity School\, and her Ph.D. in Religion and C ulture from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her research interests include faith-based economic development\, Latin American relig ions\, Pentecostalism\, and the use of dialogue in classrooms to promote i ntellectual humility\, conviction\, civic engagement\, and deep learning. She is the author or co-author of three books\, most recently The Dialogi c Classroom: Revolutionary Listening for Curiosity\, Engagement\, and Deep Learning (Taylor & Francis\, 2025)\, which focuses on a dialogic pedagogy that she hopes will help make college better for everyone.

Gand hi’s Answer to Capitalism.” Co-hosted by The Comparison Project and Zi mpleman College of Business\, the event is generously suppported by the Jo el W. Peterson Trust. \n\nWho owns wealth\, and what responsibilities come with creating it? While modern debates about capitalism often focus on ma rkets versus government\, Gandhi offered a strikingly different perspectiv e. He argued that wealth should not be viewed as absolute private property but as a trust held on behalf of society. Drawing on the stories of some of India’s most influential business families\, this lecture explores Ga ndhi’s idea of “trusteeship” and how it shaped generations of entrep reneurs. It concludes by considering what Gandhi’s vision might contribu te to contemporary debates about business\, inequality\, and corporate pur pose.\n\nDr. Sudev Sheth is Senior Lecturer of International Studies at th e Lauder Institute and the Wharton School\, and Senior Lecturer in the Dep artment of History at the University of Pennsylvania. His research explore s the history of capitalism in India through the lives of merchants\, entr epreneurs\, and business families. Combining literary sources\, archival m anuscripts\, and business records\, he investigates how commerce has influ enced culture\, politics\, and urban life. His current work traces merchan t life in Ahmedabad across centuries while exploring the ways business giv es form to cities and ideas. He is the author of Bankrolling Empire: Famil y Fortunes and Political Transformation in Mughal India(Cambridge Universi ty Press\, 2024).
