In today’s financial world, the title “financial advisor” is everywhere. It’s on business cards, websites, and LinkedIn profiles. But at Inspire Advisors, we believe there’s a higher calling—one that goes beyond portfolio management, performance metrics, or even fiduciary duty.
We call it being a financial shepherd.
And the difference between the two? It's not just semantics—it’s spiritual.
A financial advisor helps clients:
This role is important. It takes knowledge, skill, and integrity. But it can often become transactional focused more on outcomes than people.
Many advisors are expected to check their faith at the door, follow the script, and fit into a secular mold. They advise, but they don’t always get to serve.
A financial shepherd, on the other hand, does all the above—but with something radically different at the core: a desire to honor God by helping clients steward what ultimately belongs to Him.
A shepherd understands:
A financial shepherd doesn’t just ask, “What’s your risk tolerance?”
They also ask, “What are your convictions?”
They don’t just run models.
They run impact reports—uncovering whether portfolios align with Christian values or unknowingly support things like abortion, pornography, or human rights abuses.
A shepherd prays with clients.
Stays present in crises.
And puts eternal impact above earthly gain.
It’s About More Than Excellence
You can be excellent without being faithful.
But a shepherd is called to both.
That’s why at Inspire Advisors, we’re building something different. We’re not interested in creating just another RIA. We’re raising up a movement of faith-driven professionals who see finance as a form of discipleship.
We don’t just train advisors.
We commission shepherds.
If you feel a nudge to serve clients in a deeper way—to bring biblical conviction into every financial conversation—maybe God is calling you to step out of the advisor box and into the role of a shepherd.
This isn’t about titles.
It’s about eternal stewardship.
“Shepherd the flock of God that is among you... being examples to the flock.” – 1 Peter 5:2–3
