What You REALLY Need to Know to Be Good With Money

David Mitchell • July 12, 2021
Do you ever feel helpless or worried about money—just money in general?

If so, you are not alone.

Just think about it...

There’s very little education in the American educational system about money. When was the last time you had a class on how money works and how investing works? 

You didn’t get that in elementary school, junior high, high school. You didn’t get it in college. And when you go to business school, really they just teach you to work for a boss. And when you get an MBA they just teach you to work for a higher boss.

Most of us were never really taught how money works. And when something’s unknown, it can make us fearful. 

In this episode I’ll cover:
  • What some of the causes of your fear of money might be, and what you can do about it
  • How to handle naysayers who don’t want you to learn to stock trade
  • How to not be overwhelmed by the myriad of financial pro
One of the best ways to switch from a fearful to an engaged mindset about money is to set money goals.

For a lot of our clients out there, their goal is to take a small amount of money, and have the potential to turn that into a relatively large amount of money in a small amount of time.

You cannot do that without leverage. And that’s why programs like our TraderMAX membership are so important—the options are where you gain that great leverage. 

But you also get live, online study groups where you get a teacher (an experienced trader) on there with you along with lots of other students from around the country. You actually pick stocks that are potential plays to follow throughout the week. 

And you’re gonna find it’s nothing like those luncheons where you hear about annuities and life insurance. BORING.

It’s nothing like sitting in a finance class in an MBA program—double boring!

Our memberships (besides changing people’s lives) are a lot of fun. And you’ll have the potential to gain monthly or even weekly cash flow for your family. 

Not only that but you can learn long-term investing skills as well.

What if most Christians were never taught the full biblical picture of wealth? Did the Church get wealth wrong? In this powerful Season 7 premiere of The Word on Investing Podcast, Ben Mitchell shares TRADEway’s Vision for 2026 — and the biblical foundation behind why stewardship, wisdom, and hard work matter more than ever. For many believers, money has been surrounded by confusion, guilt, or misunderstanding. But what if Scripture paints a very different picture? In this episode, we unpack: ✔ The difference between riches vs true biblical wealth ✔ Why Proverbs 21:20 calls believers to pursue wisdom and stewardship ✔ What Colossians 3 teaches about work, purpose, and serving Christ ✔ Why TRADEway does NOT teach “get rich quick” trading ✔ How generational, God-honoring wealth is built over time ✔ Why knowledge and wisdom are more valuable than gold At TRADEway, we believe stewardship starts with the right foundation — spiritually, mentally, and financially. Our mission is to help believers: • Replace fear with knowledge • Replace guessing with systems • Replace quick-money thinking with legacy stewardship • Use financial wisdom to serve God, family, and Kingdom impact If you’ve ever wondered: 👉 Is it actually biblical for Christians to build wealth? 👉 Does God want believers to prosper — or just survive? 👉 Can investing be part of faithful stewardship? 📖 Key Scriptures Discussed: Proverbs 21:20 Colossians 3:23–24 🙏 Our Prayer For You That you walk faithfully in your calling, steward wisely what God gives you, and use your work to bring Him glory.

The long-term investing industry hasn’t really changed that much in the last 50 years as far as their message goes: ”Don’t worry about bear market crashes, just stay the course…” Many people argue that the average person on the street would be way better off if they just bought the S&P 500 and held it rather than trying to buy and sell individual stocks themselves. Well, that may be absolutely true if you have zero trading skillsets. But if you do have the kind of trading skillsets that TRADEway teaches, then the old line philosophy of buy and hold isn’t the best strategy for you. In today’s episode we’re talking about some common myths that buy-and-hold-ers propagate. Let’s get into this important discussion…
