In this Thanksgiving-week episode of Scriptures & Wall Street, Carlos Cortez delivers a heartfelt message about gratitude, humility, and spiritual renewal. He opens up about the power of thanking God in all circumstances — whether it’s family struggles, financial pressure, fear, or frustration — and explains how gratitude dismantles anxiety, pride, and comparison. Carlos reminds listeners that joy is not found in money, markets, or material things, but in the breath in our lungs, the people God has placed in our lives, and the hope we have in Christ.
Carlos then shifts into a clear-eyed look at the markets, inflation, volatility spikes, bank instability, and the Fed’s rate confusion. He breaks down why 2026 will be financially dangerous, how Social Security and hiring shifts will shape the economy, and why now is the time to fortify your portfolio with safe, strategic, green-money solutions. With practical retirement guidance and deep spiritual wisdom, this episode helps you align your heart and financial life with God’s purpose.
