Scott Harlan has a passion for helping his clients align their financial plans with their Christian convictions. Having worked across the financial spectrum since 2013 from retail banking to retirement planning, Scott has the necessary experience to provide his clients with a financial plan that meets their goals and prepares them for success with their finances. He believes that the Bible calls Christians to be wise with their investments and create a return (Matthew 25) while also making sure that they do not cast their lot with the wicked (Proverbs 1). In his search for how to live out this conviction in his profession, Scott came across Biblically Responsible Investing in 2021. Scott joined Inspire where the goal is to help clients invest in some of the most inspiring, positive, biblically-aligned companies in the world without sacrificing return potential. He believes that your impact for the Kingdom can and should expand beyond your tithe. Your time, talents, tithes and investments can all be used for the Glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31).
Scott and his wife Betsy met at Hopewell Baptist Church in Gainesville, GA, where they got married and continue to attend. He serves in the worship ministry playing bass guitar and Betsy serves in the greeting ministry. Scott and Betsy have been married since 2019 and have one son, Bradley. They enjoy modern-homesteading hobbies like making homemade bread and tending to their chickens and garden. They hope to grow their family and raise their children in the faith of Jesus Christ.
