5 Biblical Investing Secrets Most Christians Have Completely Missed

5 Biblical Investing Secrets Most Christians Have Completely Missed

Author: Bob Lotich, Linda Lotich June 26, 2026 Duration: 30:46

>>> First, grab the guide I told you about in this episode: How to become a millionaire even on an average salary

A few years ago we sold off some Tesla stock to pay off our second house. If you run the math on what that stock would be worth now, the result is honestly brutal. But I felt the Lord tell me clearly to do it. And looking back, I think I see exactly why He said what He said.

In this episode Linda and I walk through five biblical investing secrets most Christians have completely missed: the verse Solomon wrote down 3,000 years before a man named Harry Markowitz won a Nobel Prize for the same idea, why God rebuked a servant in Matthew 25 for playing it too safe, the Bible verse that describes Warren Buffett's entire patient-compounding strategy, the move every wealth advisor still preaches that came straight from Joseph in Genesis 41, and the generational vision in Proverbs that reframes a lot of what most Americans get wrong about money and family.

  • The Bible verse that describes Warren Buffett's entire investing strategy
  • The Joseph blueprint that every wealth advisor still preaches today
  • The "vitamin K on day 8" principle that shows how specific God's instructions really are
