SCRIPTURES AND WALL STREET - HAS AMERICA REPLACED GOD WITH GOVERNMENT

We live in a world that constantly tells us to trust the system. Trust the markets. Trust the government. Trust your retirement account. Trust the economy. Trust the next election. But what happens when our confidence in institutions begins to replace our confidence in God? In this episode of Scriptures & Wall Street, Carlos Cortez Jr. steps away from charts and market analysis to tackle a deeper question: Have we placed more faith in government, politics, and financial systems than in God Himself? Through personal reflections, retirement planning lessons, and biblical teaching, Carlos explores the difference between trying to please God and truly trusting Him—especially during seasons of uncertainty. The discussion also examines how fear can quietly shape financial decisions, why political cycles often influence investors emotionally, and how genuine stewardship begins with surrender rather than control. Drawing on Scripture and the account of the repentant thief beside Jesus, this episode reminds listeners that God's grace isn't earned through performance—it begins with trust. Whether you're concerned about retirement, the economy, or the future of the country, this conversation offers a timeless perspective: Financial plans are important. But faith should always come first.     FREE tax calculator http://corteztaxbill.com   GALLUP  -The CliftonStrengths® 34 Report https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/403127/cliftonstrengths-34-report.aspx   The Color of Money https://rumble.com/v73vhby-scriptures-and-wallstreet-the-color-of-money-replay.html?e9s=src_v1_s%2Csrc_v1_s_o&sci=e9473b97-5241-472d-a848-0bf18daac052     ————————————————————————————————————   Schedule a consultation today! https://cortezwm.com   Learn More About America First Retirement https://americafirstretirementplan.com/   Get your own private insurance account! https://privateinsuredaccount.com/     Like & Subscribe our Channels ————————————————————————————————————   Rumble https://rumble.com/user/ScripturesAndWallstreet   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@ScripturesAndWallstreet   Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/0d0qrDco0pTfSjeaLEa6Ux?si=2M13CUTkQBC6mWa7B0vWrA   X https://x.com/scrptrandwallst     ———————————————————————————————————— Support the show!   SCRIPTURES AND WALL STREET - WALLSTREET DOESN’T CARE ABOUT YOUR YOUR HEALTH - WITH JAY CAMPBELL https://rumble.com/v71mjik-scriptures-and-wall-street-wallstreet-doesnt-care-about-your-your-health-wi.html http://biolongevitylabs.com PROMO CODE - CORTEZWM https://jaycampbell.com   Lose weight and more with Plant Base Peptides http://getmeleanusa.com   Silver and Gold https://cornerstoneassetmetals.com     Fluoride Free Alkaline water : www.AmericaFirstWater.com     The views and expressions used in Scriptures and Wallstreet are for educational & entertainment purposes only.
