For a number of years I felt like God was calling me to do something that was more eternally focused. I believe that you can commit your work to the Lord and He honors that, but I still didn’t want to spend my career just helping people build bigger barns on this earth where moths and rust destroy. The Bible has a lot to teach us about money and in most cases it is the exact opposite of what the ‘world’ teaches. Feeling that conviction led me to search out faith-based investment options that we could use with our clients, and that is when I found Inspire. I was so impressed with Robert’s story and how his conviction led him to take a leap of faith even when the numbers didn’t make any sense. That encouraged me that God will honor our decision to move our practice to Inspire, even when the outcome was uncertain. At Inspire, I feel like we are on a mission, a mission to help change the way that people, and especially Christians, invest their money. Most Christians have no idea that their investments don’t align with their beliefs. I believe that we can make a difference in their lives by helping them to better follow the Biblical commands that God gives us, to live righteous and holy lives, set apart, in the world but not of it.

I look back on the path I traveled and see how God was not only leading me to Inspire Advisors through a Sovereign act in 2017, but even years before that when I had done a paper that lead me to the conclusion that everything we do is an act of worship. Worship can be of ourselves or of God. I want my worship to be of Him for only He is worthy, and that includes my practice.”
