When should you sell a stock that's been one of your biggest winners? According to veteran portfolio manager Jonathan Wellum of ROCKLINC Investment Partners, the default answer is almost never...unless the investment thesis has fundamentally changed. In this conversation with Maggie Lake, Wellum explains why long-term investors often hurt returns by selling too early, chasing market trends, or reacting emotionally to volatility. He outlines the three legitimate reasons to sell a stock, discusses why taxes shouldn't dictate investment decisions, explains how Warren Buffett approached trimming Apple, and shares why patience remains one of the greatest competitive advantages investors have. He also offers practical guidance on managing concentration risk, evaluating intrinsic value, and avoiding costly behavioral mistakes. If you're wondering whether it's time to take profits—or simply stay the course—this interview provides a disciplined framework for making better investment decisions.

Everyone wants exposure to AI, SpaceX, and the next generation of technology leaders. But Jonathan Wellum warns that even great businesses can become terrible investments when investors pay too much. As excitement around mega IPOs, AI infrastructure, and private-market giants reaches a fever pitch, Wellum explains the one question every investor should ask before chasing the next big thing: Are you buying a real business—or paying for a dream?

ABOUT THE EPISODEListen in as David Schrock and Stephen Wellum interview A.S. Ibrahim on his COA Longform Essay, "Inside the Muslim Mind: Seven Pillars of the Islamic Worldview"SponsorThis month, we're talking about how Christians engage with Islam, a conversation Southern Seminary has taken seriously for a long time. As President Al Mohler has put it, you can't prepare a minister for today's world without reckoning with Islam. That conviction is why Southern now offers a PhD in Islamic Studies, and why it's home to the Jenkins Center, a team devoted to helping pastors, missionaries, and everyday believers reach their Muslim neighbors with the gospel. To find resources and learn more about degrees, visit sbts.edu/islamicstudies. And be sure to listen to our interview with Dr Ayman Ibrahim, who is the head of the Jenkins Center.Resources to Click“Inside the Muslim Mind: Seven Pillars of the Islamic Worldview” – A.S.

How do progressive covenantalists understand Israel and the land promise?In this episode of Bible Sojourner, Peter Goeman reviews comments from Stephen Wellum in a recent interview with Grant Castleberry. Peter interacts with the core claims of progressive Covenantalism and talks about many of the presuppositions involved.The big questions in this discussion are these:• How does progressive covenantalism understand the people of Israel? • What happens to the Old Testament land promises? • Does Christ's role as the true Israel mean national Israel no longer has significance?• Does typology fulfill earlier promises in a way that sets aside their specific details?• What role should the New Testament and Old Testament play in shaping our hermeneutic?

This Sunday we are joined by Stephen Wellum, a professor, pastor, and friend of CCK, as he preaches a sermon from Isaiah 40.

In this conversation, Caleb and Stephen Wellum (PhD, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) Professor of Theology at Southern Seminary discuss the significance of baptism in relation to the biblical covenants. They explores the distinctions between the old and new covenants, the nature of the new covenant community, and the implications for church practices, particularly regarding baptism and church membership.
