What the Bible Really Says About Investing (Most Christians Miss This) · Bible Ascent

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Did you know that nearly fifty six percent of Americans
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: feel completely behind on their retirement and millions of Christians
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: right now have absolutely zero dollars invested, not because they
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: cannot afford it, but because somewhere deep inside, they secretly
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: believe that building wealth is unspiritual, That is not humility,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: That is a lie the Enemy has used for generations
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to keep God's people financially paralyzed. And here is the
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: question I need you to sit with right now before
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: we go any single step further. What if the fear
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: holding you back from multiplying your money is not a
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: sign of Godliness at all? What if that fear actually
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: goes directly against God's instructions for your life. Because in
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the next twenty minutes, I am going to show you
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: four hidden biblical secrets about investing that will permanently shift
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: you from financial fear to faithful multiplication. These are not
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: tips from a financial blog. These are principles buried inside
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the oldest book in the world, waiting for you to fear,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: find them and act on them. And I promise you,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: by the time this video ends, you will never look
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: at your savings, your four oh one K or your
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: relationship with money the same way again. Stay with me.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: This is going to change something for you today. Now,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: before I teach you anything, I want to build a foundation,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: because if you are going to trust these principles with
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: your real money and your real future, you need to
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: know that what I am about to share is not
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: my opinion. It comes directly from scripture. Look at what
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Jesus said in Matthew twenty five, verse twenty seven. A
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: master had given his servants money to steward while he
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: was away. Two of the servants invested it and doubled it.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: The third buried his in the ground, afraid of losing it.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: When the master returned, he looked at the third servant
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and said these exact words. You ought to have invested
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: my money with the bankers, and at my coming I
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: should have received what was my own with interest. Let
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: that sink in. Jesus, in a parable about the Kingdom
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of God, used the specific language of banking, investment and
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: interest returns to describe what faithful obedience actually looks like.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: He was not metaphorical about it. He was direct, practical,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and clear. Burying your money out of fear was not
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: praised as humility. It was rebuked as disobedience, and this
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: principle did not start in the New Testament. King Solomon,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the wisest and wealthiest man in human history, built an
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: estimated net worth that modern economists place at roughly two
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: trillion dollars. He did not accumulate that through luck or
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: inheritance alone. He diversified trade routes, formed strategic partnerships with
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: neighboring nations, developed natural resources, and deployed capital across multiple
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: ventures simultaneously. In other words, Solomon was not just wise
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: in a spiritual sense. He was a master investor in
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: every practical sense of the word. And then consider Warren Buffett,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: arguably the most successful investor in American history. His entire
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: philosophy rests on one idea patient compounding growth over long
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: periods of time. He has said repeatedly that the secret
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: is not timing the market. The secret is time in
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the market. What is remarkable is that this very principle,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: gathering money little by little over decades, is not a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: modern Wall Street discovery. Solomon wrote about it in the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Book of Proverbs, three thousand years before Buffett ever bought
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: his first share. The Bible has always had a wealth
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: building strategy. Most Christians have simply never been taught it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: That changes today. Secret number one the danger of playing
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: it too safe. Let us start with a verse that
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: almost never gets preached from the pulpit. Ecclesiastes eleven, Verse two,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: invest in seven ventures, Yes, in eight, You do not
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: know what disaster may come upon them. The land. Read
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that sentence one more time. This is the inspired word
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of God, and it is telling you, commanding you to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: spread your investments across multiple ventures, not one, not two,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: seven to eight different areas. God built the principle of
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: diversification directly into Scripture, thousands of years before any financial
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: adviser ever drew a pie chart. So here is the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: uncomfortable truth. If you have money sitting in a basic
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: savings account right now earning zero point zero one percent
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: in annual interest while inflation across America is running at
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: three to four percent per year, you are not being safe.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: You are slowly destroying the purchasing power of every dollar
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: God entrusted to you year after year. Silently. Your money
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: is worthless. You are in effect doing precisely what the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: third servant in Matthew twenty five did, burying the Master's
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: money in the ground and calling it wisdom. Let me
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: tell you about David. David is a school teacher from Texas.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: After the two thousand and eight financial crisis devastated so
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: many people he knew, David made a decision he believed
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: was responsible. He took fifty thousand dollars and parked it
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: in his checking account, not a high yield account, not
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a money market, his everyday checking account, and he left
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: it there for ten years, convinced he was protecting himself.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: By twenty eighteen, David had not lost a single dollar
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: on paper, but that fifty thousand dollars could now only
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: purchase the equivalent of what thirty eight thousand dollars could
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: have bought a decade earlier. Inflation had silently consumed twelve
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars of God's resources, money that could have funded
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a missionary, supported a food pantry, or grown into a retirement.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: That freed David to serve full time in his later years.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: When a Christian financial counselor introduced David to the principle
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of diversification in Ecclesiastes eleven, something broke open inside him.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: He opened a simple index fund through his employer's four
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: oh one K. He spread his contributions across domestic equities,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: international holdings, and bonds. Nothing complicated, nothing high risk. He
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: did not become a trader. He simply obeyed the biblical
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: principle of spreading resources across multiple ventures. Within five years,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: his retirement outlook looked completely transformed. Here is your action
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: step right now, Log into your four oh one K
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: or your individual retirement account today, not tomorrow, today, and
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: look honestly at where your money is sitting. Is it
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: actively diversified across multiple asset classes, or is it parked
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: in a money market fund slowly losing value to inflation.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Do not close that screen until you know the answer.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Secret number two. Patience defeats every get rich quick trap.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Proverbs thirteen, verse eleven. Dishonest money to windles away. But
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow. Three
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: thousand years ago, Solomon was warning us about the very
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: traps that flood our social media feeds every single day.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: He had never seen a cryptocurrency pump and dump scheme.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: He had never watched a twenty two year old in
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: a rented Lamborghini sell a day trading course on the Internet.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: He had never seen a high risk option strategy disguised
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: as a path to financial freedom, but he described all
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: of them perfectly in one sentence. Dishonest money, fast money,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: flashy money, money built on hype rather than value, dwindles away.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Chasing quick wealth is not just financially dangerous, It is
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a spiritual posture. It says, I do not trust God's process.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I want mine, and I want it right now, and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: it almost always ends in loss, loss of money, loss
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: of peace, and loss of the very financial foundation you
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: were trying to build. Biblically, investing is honestly a little boring,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and that is exactly the point. Let me tell you
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: about Mark. Mark is a warehouse worker from Ohio. He
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: does not have a finance degree. He does not follow
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: stock market influencers on social media. He has never bought
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: a single cryptocurrency. He earns forty five thousand dollars a year,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and for the last twenty years, he has done one
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: single thing with remarkable consistency. Every single month. The moment
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: his paycheck hits his account, two hundred dollars automatically transfers
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: into an S and P five hundred index fund. He
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: never thinks about it. He never panics when the market drops.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: He never tries to time a recovery. He simply stays
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the course, month after month, year after year, gathering little
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: by little, exactly as Proverbs instructs. Last year, Mark's investment
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: account crossed one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. He did
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: not do anything spec tacular. He did not pick the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: next great technology stock. He did not get a lucky break.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: He simply trusted the process of compound growth, the same
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: process that Proverbs describes as the only reliable path to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: lasting wealth. And that process is available to every single
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: person watching this video right now, regardless of what you
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: currently earn. Here is your action step this week, not
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: next month, this week. Set up an automatic transfer from
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: your checking account to a long term investment account, even
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: fifty dollars, even one hundred dollars. Set it to transfer
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: on the exact day your paycheck arrives, so the money
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: moves before you have a chance to spend it. You
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: do not need to wait until you earn more. You
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: need to start with what God has placed in your
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: hands today. Because faithful stewardship begins with what you already have.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: We are halfway through this video, and if those first
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: two principles opened your eyes, wait until you hear seek
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: grit number four. It is the exact reason why millions
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: of sincere, generous, God fearing Christians unknowingly sabotage their own
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: financial growth and fun things that directly contradict everything they believe.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: You need to stay right here for this one secret
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: number three. Holy stewardship means knowing exactly where every dollar
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: goes Proverbs sixteen, verse eight. Better a little with righteousness
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: than much gain with injustice. Here is a question that
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: most Christians in America have never seriously asked themselves. Do
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: you actually know which companies your retirement account is funding
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: right now? Because the typical mutual fund inside a standard
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: four oh one K holds shares in dozens, sometimes hundreds
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: of companies across countless industries. You may be faithfully contributing
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: every single month, watching your balance grow, feeling good about
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: your financial obedience, while simultaneously funding industries and corporations that
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: stand in direct opposition to everything you hold sacred. As
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: a steward of God's resources, you are not only responsible
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: for how much you grow, You are responsible for what
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: your growth is actively funding. Proverbs does not say better
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a little than much, It says better a little with righteousness.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: The qualifier matters, the how matters, the where matters. Let
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: me tell you about Linda. Linda is a registered nurse
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: from Florida. For thirty years, she poured herself into caring
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: for patients, A deeply faithful woman who tithed, consistently, served
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: in her church's food ministry every Saturday morning, and prayed
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: specifically over her finances. When she finally sat down to
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: review the detailed holdings inside her retirement portfolio for the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: very first time, she was not prepared for what she found.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Several of the largest companies inside her employer sponsored mutual
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: fund were businesses who core products and practices she found
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: deeply troubling as a believer. She felt a kind of
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: grief she had not expected, and then she decided to act.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Linda spent several weeks researching what are called faith based
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: exchange traded funds, investment vehicles specifically designed to screen out
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: companies that conflict with biblical values while still participating in
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: broad market growth. She realigned a significant portion of her
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: retirement holdings into these funds. Working with a financial adviser
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: who understood both investing and her convictions. She did not
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: sacrifice meaningful returns to honor her faith. She simply brought
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: her portfolio into alignment with who she actually was. Here
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: is your action. Step open your computer right now and
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: spend fifteen focused minutes looking up the top ten company
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: holdings inside your largest retirement fund. Every major fund provider
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: lists this information publicly on their website. You might feel
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: relieved by what you can find, you might feel convicted.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Either way. A faithful steward does not look away. A
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: faithful steward looks, learns, and adjusts. Secret number four. The
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: ultimate purpose of investing is not consumption. It is contribution.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Second Corinthians nine, verse eight. And God is able to
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: bless you abundantly, so that in all things, at all times,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: having all that you need, you will abound in every
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: good work. Read that verse one more time and notice
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: what it does not say. It does not say God
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: blesses you abundantly so that you can upgrade your lifestyle.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: It does not say God multiplies your resources so you
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: can retire in luxury and spend your final decades entirely
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: on yourself. It says He blesses you so that you
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: will abound in every good work. The abundance is not
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the destination. The good work is the destination. The abundance
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: is simply the fuel. This is where so many well
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: meaning Christians get the theology of money profoundly wrong. One
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: group says money is inherently corrupt and refuses to pursue
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: it unknowingly limiting their ability to fund what God is
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: doing in the world. Another group chases wealth in the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: name of blessing and uses faith as a justification for
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: selfish accumulation. Both positions miss the Biblical center entirely. The
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Biblical center is this, grow your resources wisely, patiently, and righteously,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: so that you have more to give, more to serve,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: more to deploy for purposes that outlast your own lifetime.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you about James and Emily. James works
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: in logistics in a mid sized city in Georgia. Emily
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: is a part time bookkeeper who also homeschools their three children.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: They are not wealthy by any conventional American standard, but
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: fifteen years ago they made a decision together that quiet
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: transformed the entire trajectory of their financial life. They decided
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: that every investment they made would be filtered through one
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: single question, not how much will this make us? But
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: what will this empower us to give? Over the years,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: their combined investment portfolio, built through consistent, unglamorous monthly contributions,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: began generating meaningful dividend income passive income month after month,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: simply for owning shares in well run companies. When they
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: sat down to decide what to do with that income stream,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: they faced a choice that many Americans face, upgrade to
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: a larger home with a larger mortgage, or steward what
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: they already had. They chose stewardship. Every dollar of dividend
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: income James and Emily receive now flows directly into two places,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: a clean water organization serving communities in East Africa, and
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the salary fund of a young youth pastor at their
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: local church who otherwise could not be supported. James once
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: told me the moment we stopped thinking of our investment
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: account as a retirement fund and started thinking of it
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: as a generosity engine, every financial decision became easier, discipline
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: became natural, patience became a joy because we knew exactly
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: what we were building toward. That is the fourth secret,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: and it is the most transformative one. When generosity becomes
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the purpose behind your investing, the entire emotional relationship you
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: have with money changes. You become more disciplined because the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: stakes are higher than your own comfort. You become more
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: patient because you are building something that matters beyond yourself.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: You become more at peace through every market cycle because
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: your security is not in your balance, it is in
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the one who owns it all. Here is your action step.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Take out a piece of paper right now, or open
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the notes app on your phone, and write down your
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: why why do you want to grow wealth? Write it
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: out honestly, completely, and then, somewhere at the very top
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: of that list, make sure the word generosity appears, not luxury,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: not security, not status. Generosity because the investor God can
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: truly bless is the investor who builds for the sake
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: of others. I want to close with a story. His
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: name is Michael. He is a mechanic from a small
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: town in Michigan. At fifty years old, Michael carried fifteen
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars in credit card debt, had zero dollars saved
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: for retirement, and walked through every single day wrapped in
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: a quiet, crushing financial shame, Shame in front of his wife,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: shame in front of his adult children, shame before God,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: convinced that his decades of poor financial decisions had disqualified
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: him from ever getting this right. One night, sitting alone
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: at the kitchen table after a long shift, Michael opened
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: his Bible to Matthew twenty five. He had read the
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Parable of the Talents many times before, but that night,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: for the first time, he read it as a man
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: who recognized himself in the third servant, the one who
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: had taken what the Master gave and buried it not
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: in the ground, but an impulsive spending in avoidance, in
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the paralysis of shame that kept whispering it is too
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: late for you anyway, and Michael wept. But here is
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: what I need every single person watching this to understand.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: About that moment. The Master in that parable did not
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: condemn the servant for the mistakes of the past. He
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: confronted him about the choice he was making right now,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the choice of fear over faith, of inaction over obedience.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: The past was not the problem, the present choice was.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Michael made a different choice that night. He started with
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: fifty dollars. A week into the simplest target date retirement
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: fund his employer offered. He canceled two subscription services he
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: barely used. He called his credit card company and negotiated
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: a lower interest rate. He started moving slowly, faithfully, without drama,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: just like Proverbs said, little by little. Five years later,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Michael's credit card debt is completely gone, His retirement account
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: has grown past thirty thousand dollars. He is fifty five
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: years old, with a decade of faithful stewardship ahead of him,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: and the shame that once defined his relationship with money
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: has been replaced by something he almost does not recognize. Hope.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: We are not called to live in fear of the economy.
• 19:37
