The Righteous Trader Gets Back Up

The Righteous Trader Gets Back Up

Today I want to spend some time in the Book of Proverbs chapter 24 because I believe it contains one of the most encouraging verses for anyone on this trading journey. Proverbs 24:16 says, “For the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.” I love this verse because it completely changes how we should view setbacks. Notice that the righteous person still falls. The verse doesn't say they never make mistakes, never experience losses, or never have difficult seasons. It says they get back up.

Guard Your Heart More Than Your Portfolio

Today I want to spend some time in the Book of Proverbs chapter 23, because I believe this chapter speaks directly to one of the greatest dangers traders face. Surprisingly, it's not market volatility, losing trades, or drawdowns. The greatest danger is allowing the pursuit of money to slowly capture our hearts.

Protect Your Character More Than Your Account

It’s Monday, a brand new trading week, and before we start looking for entries, managing risk, and watching the charts, I want us to spend some time in the Book of Proverbs chapter 22. I believe this chapter reminds us of something that can easily get lost in the pursuit of financial success: your character is worth far more than your account balance.

Prepare Like It Depends on You, Trust Like It Depends on God

Today I want to spend some time in the Book of Proverbs chapter 21, because I believe this chapter gives us one of the greatest lessons a trader can ever learn. Every trader wants to know how to increase their odds of success. We spend countless hours studying charts, refining strategies, backtesting setups, and improving our execution. And while all of that matters, Proverbs chapter 21 reminds us of a truth we should never forget: our responsibility is to prepare faithfully, but the outcome ultimately belongs to God.

Character Is Your Greatest Asset

It’s the weekend, the charts are closed, and I think this is the perfect time to step away from the markets and reflect on something far more valuable than our last trade. Today I want to spend some time in the Book of Proverbs chapter 20, because this chapter reminds us that while the world measures success by performance, God measures success by character. At the end of the day, your greatest asset is not your trading strategy, your account size, or your latest payout. Your greatest asset is the person you are becoming.
