The Hunt [EP. 7]

In this enlightening episode of The Chase, Chris McAlpin delves deep into the parallels between hunting and our financial pursuits. Drawing from his recent hunting experience in the snowy terrains of Colorado, Chris highlights the importance of preparation, training, and seizing the right opportunities. Just as in hunting, where a missed shot can be a lesson, our failures can shape us for future successes in life and finances.

Chris emphasizes the significance of recognizing the systems and rhythms God has placed in the world. Whether it's the world securities market, stocks, bonds, or commodities, there's a system and a beat to it. Though inherently flawed, these systems are run by humans and are part of God's design. Our trust should always be in God, even as we participate in these systems.

The episode also touches on the importance of faith-based investing. Chris points out that 74% of Christians are unaware that faith-based investing is an option. This form of investing allows individuals to align their financial decisions with their faith, ensuring that their investments do not harm people or the world God created.

Key Takeaways:

1. Preparation and training are crucial for seizing the right opportunities in hunting and financial decisions.
2. Recognize and trust the systems and rhythms God has placed in the world, but always place your primary trust in God.
3. Failures are lessons that shape us for future success. Learn from them and grow.
4. Faith-based investing is a powerful way to align financial decisions with one's faith.
