SCRIPTURES AND WALLSTREET – 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.
