Using 1 Timothy 3 To Find A Financial Advisor

Published on 02/26/2024 Posted in CFP Podcast

Are you searching for a financial advisor who exemplifies Christian character and integrity? Do you want their guidance grounded in Biblical truth versus worldly thinking? Bob and Shawn share the qualities to look for in a financial advisor based on scripture, specifically 1 Timothy chapter 3.

1 Timothy 3 outlines the qualities of an elder or deacon in the church, and we believe that these qualities are also important in a financial advisor. The qualities include being temperate and a good teacher, i.e. someone can explain financial concepts in a way that is understandable. Listen in to find out what other traits we believe a Christian financial advisor should possess!

14 Characteristics of Financially Successful Christians

Published on 02/05/2024 Posted in CFP Podcast

What makes financially successful Christians different from the prosperity gospel crowd? Bob and Shawn explore 14 characteristics that set apart believers who achieve financial stability while maintaining their faith. Rather than chasing get-rich-quick schemes or the latest cryptocurrency, these Christians focus on timeless principles like spending less than they earn, avoiding materialism, practicing generosity, and maintaining strong moral compasses. Each characteristic is supported by scripture, including Proverbs 21:20 on wise saving and Proverbs 22:7 on debt. The hosts emphasize that these traits aren't about pursuing wealth itself—they point back to loving God, serving others, and maintaining a humble mentality. Financial success, they explain, is simply a byproduct of living according to Biblical principles, not the goal. Whether it's maintaining long-term marriages, building deep community roots, or working diligently as unto the Lord, these characteristics demonstrate that net worth should never be confused with self-worth.

Are Rental Homes The Worst Way To Invest In Real Estate?

Published on 01/29/2024 Posted in CFP Podcast

Considering becoming a landlord through rental property? Do the returns justify the hassles involved? After insurance, mortgage payments, repairs, and/or marketing costs, a rental home isn't the cash cow you might think it is. Bob and Shawn discuss the pros and cons of rentals while providing some alternative options to consider.

Instead, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) may be a better option for the average investor. They explain that REITs allow investors to access a diversified portfolio of properties across various sectors, such as industrial, retail, lodging, healthcare, and more.

How To Escape The Grip Of Financial Fear

Published on 01/08/2024 Posted in CFP Podcast

Are you overwhelmed by companies capitalizing on fear to sell overpriced solutions? Don't fall for it. Bob and Shawn highlight the various means through which companies use fear-based tactics, such as social media platforms, email, television, and text messages. It is important to not fall for these fear tactics.

Instead, unplug from social media, study history to gain perspective, take breaks from screens, engage in constructive and kind activities, and seek God through scripture, prayer, and living by faith. Prioritize your mental and emotional well-being by avoiding this fear-based content and focusing on positive and uplifting activities.
