About this episode

Welcome to another episode of Financial Revelations – The Sin of Retirement™ with David Szafranski! David shares exciting news about The Sin of Retirement™! A small group study guide and personal workbook are currently in development, making it easier for individuals, churches, and small groups to dive deeper into the message of living a life of purpose beyond retirement. Look for both to be released in the coming months, and visit www.sinofretirement.com for updates, the book, and merchandise. There's also great news from Nativos USA! Construction is underway on a new church in Maués, Brazil. While progress is steady, it's exciting to watch this project come together and see how God is working through this ministry. To view photos, learn more about the project, or find out how you can help, visit www.nativosusa.org. In this week's financial discussion, David examines why the markets appear largely unfazed by the ongoing conflict with Iran and why energy prices continue to play an important role in the economic outlook. He also explains his long-term investment philosophy—why he chooses to buy rather than sell during difficult markets, why he continues holding great companies through volatility, and how staying invested can make a dramatic difference. David shares a powerful chart comparing investors who remained invested during the 10 best trading days of 2025 versus those who missed them, with eye-opening results.
