Rushdoony's The Politics of Guilt and Pity and F.A. Hayek's The Fatal Conceit, argues that economics is a moral philosophy and that a culture unable to resolve guilt in Christ will look to the state to absolve it. *READ* - A Biblical Diagnosis of Suicidal Empathy and the West’s Death Spiral by Jonathan Wellum:* https://rocklinc.com/newsroom/a-biblical-diagnosis-of-suicidal-empathy-and-the-wests-death-spiral/▶️ *WATCH* https://youtu.be/yNhuWblQjjAAlong the way: how government grew from 15–20% of GDP to nearly half, why three of the Ten Commandments speak directly to economics, what the roughly $8 trillion held by U.S. billionaires looks like beside the $170 trillion held by the middle class, Canada's lost decade and a dollar that has slipped from par in 2011 to about 70 cents, and John Winthrop's 1630 "A Model of Christian Charity" as a picture of ordered generosity.

  *Click Here to Subscribe* ⁨@RockLincPartners⁩ *More from Worth Investing* https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjbJS8-FZgaH4MJzgk5oC8AmmvbwO48ay*Show Description*Host Marc Patrone speaks with RockLinc Investment Partners CEO Jonathan Wellum about a sharp market rally (Dow up over 1,000 points) driven by hopes of a deal involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, sending oil down about 5.7%, alongside a renewed surge in the AI trade and strong, broadly based U.S. earnings. Wellum cautions that extreme volatility and high valuations warrant a medium-to-long-term focus, diversification, and avoiding overconcentration, noting risks “below the surface” such as the unwinding of the leveraged yen carry trade and rare intervention to support the yen. The discussion also covers impending U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods, ongoing pressure on Canadian manufacturing, the growth of Ontario’s public sector, and Canada’s rising imports from the U.S., including computers and peripherals, as the U.S. re-industrializes and attracts capital and talent. *Chapters* ⏰00:00 Market Rally Headlines00:33 Oil and Hormuz Volatility01:34 AI Trade and Earnings Surge03:10 Hidden Risks and Diversification04:50 Rickards Explains Yen Carry07:35 Why Gold and Currencies Matter08:43 Canada Tariffs and Economic Drift10:16 Ontario Decline and Big Government11:32 Record US Imports and Data Centers13:19 Rocklinc Contact and Closing13:56 Rocklinc Value Investing Ad: https://rocklinc.com/etf/ ===========================*Connect with us!*=============================Get a free portfolio review with Jonathan Wellum and the team at Rocklinc; visit: https://bit.ly/4anVNzdGet To Know Jonathan Wellum: https://youtu.be/ezMiX0FtZ7g*Please visit https://www.rocklinc.com for the latest prospectus, Fund Facts, and other information on the ROCKLINC Principled Equity ETF: https://rocklinc.com/etf/ https://youtu.be/e34BGJZlqDA?si=i2I7gqZlkyj83sbB*Learn more about Rocklinc: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjbJS8-FZgaExMwLylSU6IOMMaSkT0y_P or visit our website: ⁠https://www.rocklinc.com*Follow us on social media* X: https://x.com/RocklincIP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://www.facebook.com/rocklinc⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://www.linkedin.com/company/19148766/admin/dashboard/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvEh2n3BPa69TBsnVD1J1JQ*Want help achieving your financial goals?

  Canada’s Economic Squeeze: Oil, Inflation, and US Tariff Tensions | The Marc Patrone Show (07.20.26)

  Jul 22, 202614 min

  *Show Description*Host Marc Patrone speaks with RockLinc Investment Partners CEO Jonathan Wellum about mixed market action, oil around $82.80 amid escalating Middle East hostilities, and concern that global energy reserves are at record lows. They focus on inflation’s impact on consumers, citing Canadian food inflation near 4% and examples of sharply higher grocery costs since 2020, alongside rising energy, insurance, and borrowing costs. The conversation turns to criticism of Mark Carney, with claims of higher spending and deficits, increased international aid, lack of major capital projects, limited regulatory and tax relief, and measures said to hinder free speech, plus worries about a weakening Canadian dollar and lagging productivity and investment versus the U.S. They also discuss economic fallout from Canadian wildfire smoke in the U.S., Trump using it as leverage in negotiations, and the need for improved Canada–U.S. relations and forest management where possible.Please visit https://www.rocklinc.com for the latest prospectus, Fund Facts, and other information on the ROCKLINC Principled Equity ETF: https://rocklinc.com/etf/ *Chapters*⏰00:00 Markets Open Mixed00:29 Oil Shock And Geopolitics01:59 Inflation Squeezes Consumers03:14 Rocklinc AD04:09 Media Hype And Carney Critique06:10 Spending, Inflation And Weak Loonie08:32 Wildfires And US Economic Fallout10:50 Canada-US Relations And Leverage13:04 How To Reach Rocklinc13:39 Closing Thanks And Wrap===========================Connect with us! =============================Get a free portfolio review with Jonathan Wellum and the team at Rocklinc, visit: https://bit.ly/4anVNzdGet To Know Jonathan Wellum: https://youtu.be/ezMiX0FtZ7g*Please visit https://www.rocklinc.com for the latest prospectus, Fund Facts, and other information on the ROCKLINC Principled Equity ETF: https://rocklinc.com/etf/ https://youtu.be/e34BGJZlqDA?si=i2I7gqZlkyj83sbB*Learn more about Rocklinc: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjbJS8-FZgaExMwLylSU6IOMMaSkT0y_P or visit our website: ⁠https://www.rocklinc.com*Follow us on social media:*⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ X: https://x.com/RocklincIP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://www.facebook.com/rocklinc⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://www.linkedin.com/company/19148766/admin/dashboard/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvEh2n3BPa69TBsnVD1J1JQWant help achieving your financial goals?

  Untethered Empathy is Destroying Western Civilization | A Biblical Diagnosis

  Jul 21, 202619 min

  *Click Here to Subscribe:* https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@RockLincPartners⁩ Subscribe for more on principled investing, biblical worldview, and the economics of the moment.Which way, Western World? The Road to Surfdom, or the Road to the Celestial City?Will you choose Socialistic tyranny fueled by the untethered, toxic empathy of the modern secular mind, or repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, that allows for the ordered, virtuous liberty, and maximum freedom and prosperity that has made the West so prosperous?*ABOUT*Gad Saad calls it suicidal empathy. F. A. Hayek called it the fatal conceit. Both diagnosed the disease destroying the West, and both stopped short of its root.In this essay reading, Jonathan Wellum, President & CEO of Rocklinc Investment Partners, takes up Saad's "Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind" and Hayek's critique of central planning, then goes deeper than either. Drawing on R. J. Rushdoony's "The Politics of Guilt and Pity," Jonathan argues that the pathologies we're watching unfold — envy rebranded as social justice, progressive taxation without limiting principle, criminals prioritized over victims, producers treated as prey — are not primarily failures of psychology or economics. They are the predictable fruit of rejecting the Christian worldview rooted in Genesis 1–3.Jonathan explains why America's decline has been slower than Canada's, why "you cannot redistribute what has not been produced," and why Saad's calibrated empathy and Hayek's spontaneous order, though necessary, remain insufficient without the transcendent grounding they lack. The remedy is not ecclesiocracy but a recovery of foundations: government administering justice rather than engineering outcomes (Romans 13), compassion re-grounded in truth, and a gospel that frees the conscience from bondage to the state.*Christ is Lord, not Caesar.* *READ* - A Biblical Diagnosis of Suicidal Empathy and the West’s Death Spiral by Jonathan Wellum:* https://rocklinc.com/newsroom/a-biblical-diagnosis-of-suicidal-empathy-and-the-wests-death-spiral/ *CHAPTERS* ⏰00:00 – INTRODUCTION - The Problem: Gad Saad's Suicidal Empathy, Hayek's Fatal Conceit, and Rushdoony's Politics of Guilt & Pity02:45 – The Failure of Central Planning03:04 – The Biblical Diagnosis04:00 – CHAPTER 1: Genesis 1–3: The Only Coherent Foundation04:17 – A Biblical Anthropology - Imago Dei, the Dominion Mandate, and the Fall07:13 – CHAPTER 2: How Rejecting Genesis Produces Suicidal Empathy07:13 – 2.1: Loss of Human Dignity as the Imago Dei08:41 – 2.2: An Aversion to Work as the Rejection of the Dominion Mandate09:51 – 2.3: Disordered Empathy11:19 – 2.4: Absence of Trancendence Leads to Imminentizing of the Eschaton via Utopianism12:30 – CHAPTER 3: Residual Christian Capital & the West's Accelerating Decline14:09 – Socialism: The Parasitic Rule of the Messianic State as the Road to Serfdom15:29 - Christ is King: The Righteous Rule of the True Messiah as The Only Coherent Remedy16:24 – CONCLUSION: Civic Renewal and Gospel Regeneration*WATCH MORE ARTICLE VIDEOS* https://studio.youtube.com/playlist/PLjbJS8-FZgaHXLBnkovDWARy25TFSEUuX/editWant help achieving your financial goals?

  Oil Surges, SpaceX Volatility, and Canada’s GDP Slides Under Carney | Marc Patrone Show (07.13.26)

  Jul 15, 202617 min

  👉 *Click Here to Subscribe:* https://www.youtube.com/@RockLincPartners💰 More from Worth Investing: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjbJS8-FZgaH4MJzgk5oC8AmmvbwO48ay*Show Description*Host Marc Patrone speaks with RockLinc CEO Jonathan Wellum about markets and geopolitics. They discuss oil jumping nearly 10% amid uncertainty in the Strait of Hormuz and Trump floating the idea of controlling passage and charging a 20% levy, which they say would raise energy costs while alternatives like Saudi pipelines gradually reduce Iran’s leverage. They note the Nasdaq down about 1.6% and SpaceX falling sharply from its IPO peak, with Wellum urging patience, dollar-cost averaging, and avoiding leverage as more shares unlock and volatility persists, while highlighting Starlink's profitability and robotics potential tied to Tesla. The conversation shifts to Canada’s weak first-year GDP under Mark Carney, declining GDP per capita, and claims that higher taxes, regulation, and state growth are hollowing out investment and manufacturing, alongside criticism of Canada’s limited leverage and strained U.S. negotiations, including a bridge toll revenue split.Please visit https://www.rocklinc.com for the latest prospectus, Fund Facts, and other information on the ROCKLINC Principled Equity ETF: https://rocklinc.com/etf/📖 *Chapters*⏰00:00 RockLinc Investing Ad: https://rocklinc.com/etf/00:57 Back to the Show01:19 Oil Spike and Hormuz Risk04:30 Nasdaq Dip and SpaceX Slide06:14 How to Play SpaceX07:19 Robotics and Tesla Synergies09:32 Carney Year One GDP Reality10:50 Canada Productivity and Inflation12:16 Bridge Deal and US Leverage15:15 Fixing Canada-US Relations16:22 Closing, Thanks, and Sign Off===========================Connect with us! =============================Get a free portfolio review with Jonathan Wellum and the team at Rocklinc, visit: https://bit.ly/4anVNzdGet To Know Jonathan Wellum: https://youtu.be/ezMiX0FtZ7g*Please visit https://www.rocklinc.com for the latest prospectus, Fund Facts, and other information on the ROCKLINC Principled Equity ETF: https://rocklinc.com/etf/ https://youtu.be/e34BGJZlqDA?si=i2I7gqZlkyj83sbB*Learn more about Rocklinc: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjbJS8-FZgaExMwLylSU6IOMMaSkT0y_P or visit our website: ⁠https://www.rocklinc.com*Follow us on social media:*⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 X: https://x.com/RocklincIP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://www.facebook.com/rocklinc⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://www.linkedin.com/company/19148766/admin/dashboard/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvEh2n3BPa69TBsnVD1J1JQWant help achieving your financial goals?
