We move freely from prediction season and capital market assumptions to investor behavior, bonds, and cash—focusing less on what markets will do next and more on how to build a plan you can stick with when narratives get loud. Listen and learn: ► Why short-term market predictions distract from what really drives long-term outcomes ► How ranges and probabilities lead to better financial plans than point forecasts ► What most investors get wrong about bonds, cash, and "playing it safe" ► Why the biggest investing mistakes come from narratives, not numbers   Visit www.TheLongTermInvestor.com for show notes, free resources, and a place to submit questions.   [02:00] – Market Forecasting and "Prediction Season": Why One-Year Outlooks Mislead [03:10] – Financial Planning Return Assumptions: Using Ranges and Probabilities (Not Point Estimates) [06:41] – Portfolio Construction Basics: Stocks Are Stocks, Bonds Are Tools [15:56] – Setting Investor Expectations: What Forecasts Can and Can't Do [21:01] – Behavioral Finance in Real Time: Volatility vs the Narrative Investors Fear [23:45] – Market Timing Bias: "I Knew This Would Happen" and Why It's Dangerous [29:39] – Risk Management: Probability vs Magnitude (How Investors Blow Up a Good Plan) [32:21] – Bond Strategy: Building a Portfolio You Can Stick With (Not the Highest Return) [38:30] – Cash Management: Ultra-Short Bond Funds, HYSAs, and the 2022 Hangover   Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant (⁠https://thepodcastconsultant.com⁠)   Disclosure: This content, which contains security-related opinions and/or information, is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon in any manner as professional advice, or an endorsement of any practices, products or services.

How lovely are Your dwellings,O LORD God of hosts! (Psalm 84:1)“no good thing shall he withhold from those who live a godly life.” (Psalm 84:12b)"And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession—to the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:13-14

Speaker: Luke BrandonScripture: Matthew 2:13-23Episode Overview:Matthew 2:13–23 reveals a tension we all feel: God is sovereign over history, yet human beings are fully responsible for how they respond to Him. In the flight to Egypt, the massacre in Bethlehem, and the quiet obedience of Joseph, Matthew shows that God's redemptive plan moves forward even through suffering, fear, and apparent chaos. This passage invites us to see beyond immediate circumstances and trust that God is faithfully working out His good purposes—just as He did in preserving the life of His Son.Key Highlights:• God's sovereign plan unfolds through fulfilled prophecy, even in the midst of danger and displacement• Jesus as the true and better Son, reliving and fulfilling Israel's story through a new Exodus• Two radically different responses to God's authority: humble obedience and violent rebellion• The preservation of Christ as the foundation of our hope, righteousness, and salvation• The goodness of God revealed in His willingness to enter human suffering and insignificanceCall to Action:Consider how you are responding to God's authority in your own life. Where He calls you to trust and obey without full clarity, ask for the grace to submit your plans to His greater purpose. Rest in the truth that the God who governs history is also good, personal, and deeply attentive to your life—working even hardship toward redemption.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

Join us this week for the third message in our series, "Christmas with the Prophets," with Pastor Jared Clausen.

This week we continue our Christmas series. Join us as we learn that joy doesn't always come packaged how we imagined, and that Jesus didn't come to fix us, He came to free us.

Pastor Damian teaches that while Joseph had a compassionate and thoughtful plan in response to Mary's pregnancy, God interrupted it with a greater plan that fulfilled prophecy and revealed Jesus as Emmanuel, God with us. Through the cultural context of first-century Jewish betrothal, the sermon highlights Joseph's righteousness, Mary's costly obedience, and the tension created when God's purposes disrupt human expectations. The message challenges believers to make space for God's interruptions, trust Jesus as Lord, and receive His peace in seasons of uncertainty. #GodsPlan #ChristmasStory #AngelsWeHaveHeard #PrinceOfPeace #TrustAndObey

Good Plans | Final Chapter | Pastor Chris Heller  Genesis 50 We've come to the final chapter as we conclude our "Good Plans" series on the life of Joseph. Genesis 50 closes the story with a powerful blend of grief, forgiveness, and enduring faith.   After Jacob dies, Joseph leads a grand Egyptian funeral procession to Canaan to bury his father, fulfilling Jacob's request. When the brothers fear Joseph will finally retaliate for their past betrayal, he reassures them with one of the Bible's most memorable declarations of grace—reminding them that though they intended harm, God used it for good.   Join us this Sunday as we take one last look at this epic story of unwavering faith and forgiveness in the midst of unspeakable circumstances.

Good Plans - Joseph | Finish Well | Pastor Chris Heller Genesis 48-49 This week, we'll learn that Jacob is gravely ill as he approaches the end of his life. In a deeply moving moment, the aging patriarch gathers strength to bless Joseph's two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. In a surprising twist, Jacob deliberately crosses his arms, giving the greater blessing to Ephraim--the younger son--instead of Manasseh, who was the firstborn.    What caused him to do this? What was Joseph's reaction? How will this surprising act affect not only the future of Joseph's family, but the nation of Israel as well?   Join us this Sunday as we see, once again, how God's good plans come to fruition in unexpected ways.

Pastor Josef teaches on the enduring, never changing will of God for our lives.

Good Plans - Joseph | What's God Preparing You For? | Pastor Jon Adams   Genesis 47 The life of Joseph has been a dramatic story of life and death, patriarchs and Pharaohs, nations and empires. It's a wild sequence of ups and downs, as God puts together his “good plans”, piece by piece.   This Sunday, we'll focus on the way God has prepared Joseph. From the God-ordained circumstances of his life to the God-given abilities he possessed, Joseph was prepared for the good works God accomplished through him.    If you're a child of God, here's some good news—he's prepared you, too! And this week, we'll encourage you with the good plans that God has for you. 

Good Plans - Joseph | Family Reunion | Pastor Chris Heller   Genesis 45-46 This week, we find Joseph reconciled to his brothers and calling for them to go home, gather their father and their entire family, and bring them back to Egypt. Will Jacob be able to make such a change? Will God somehow reassure Jacob that this is His good and perfect plan?    Join us this Sunday as we witness the reunion of Jacob and Joseph, beautifully illustrating the theme of restoration and reconciliation throughout this epic account!

Good Plans - Joseph | I Am Joseph | Pastor Chris Heller   Genesis 44 This week, we find Joseph's brothers on the road heading home from Egypt, when they are "caught" with an item from the house of Joseph. Not realizing it was part of a plan, they return to Joseph scared, shaken, and shattered.

What will he choose to do?   Joseph's epic story has been slowly building in suspense. Join us this Sunday as we reach the pinnacle -- when Joseph reveals himself to his brothers!

Joseph has been rejected, abandoned and thrown into a pit, only to be sold to a caravan of Ishmaelite's on their way to Egypt!   Some might say, "Where is God in this?

I thought God was a good God?"   This Sunday we continue our story in Egypt as we open the next two chapters and witness the character of two brothers who are faced with sexual temptation -- one who succumbed (Judah) and one who succeeded (Joseph).   Join us this week as we learn how to combat lust, the Joseph way!

Good Plans - Joseph | The Pit | Pastor Chris Heller   Genesis 37:12-36 Isn't it GOOD to know that God has provided a roadmap for all of His children to follow (Romans 12:9-21), as well as a life for all His children to emulate  (Genesis 37:12-36), in how we overcome and respond to all the evil we are surrounded by? Within this very dark world, we've been called to shine our light.   God is GOOD… all the time.
