Are you looking to the world or to God’s Word?

If you pay attention to investing news, you’ll see a steady stream of articles telling you what to invest in—why this company’s stock is “going to the moon” and that investment is a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

It’s all very ad-hoc, confusing, and stressful.

Fortunately, there’s a better way. A biblical way. In the midst of all the noise, God’s Word stands as a steady presence, offering timeless, trustworthy guidance.

Watch and discover an effective approach to weather market storms, ensuring both your investments and your peace of mind remain intact!
