In today's show, Seth Udinski and Sam Case explore the intensifying dynamic between Donald Trump and Fed Chair Jerome Powell, highlighting Powell's hesitation to cut interest rates due to Trump's proposed tariffs. The hosts also examine the "Big Beautiful Bill," its slim Senate passage, and the uncertainty surrounding its fate in the House. They consider six key market questions for the second half of 2025 and contrast short-term speculation with long-term biblical stewardship. In the second half, Mark Minnella joins Seth to discuss biblically responsible investing and the spiritual significance of how Christians use their wealth. Become a Financial Issues Partner today!
