You’re an Owner. Make It Count.
Most people treat investing like a background task—something you set and forget. But here’s the thing: when you invest, you become an owner. Real companies. Real decisions. Real impact.
So it’s worth asking: Do I believe in what I own?
As Christian financial advisors, we often meet people who are deeply generous, faithful with their tithes, and wise about budgeting—yet they’ve never thought twice about what’s inside their investment portfolio. And that disconnect matters more than most realize.
Ownership Comes With Responsibility
Investing isn’t just about watching numbers go up. When you hold stock in a company, you own a part of that business. You share in its profits, its direction, and its practices.
Many traditional investment funds include companies involved in:
- Abortion services and drugs
- Pornographic media and platforms
- Gambling
- Sex trafficking
These may be profitable, but they’re also directly at odds with a biblical worldview. As Proverbs 10:2 reminds us, “Ill-gotten gains do not profit anyone, but righteousness rescues from death.”
From a biblical financial planning perspective, this isn’t just about ethics—it’s about stewardship. We’re called to be faithful managers of everything God has given us, including where we invest.
What Is Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI)?
Biblically Responsible Investing is a way to align your portfolio with your faith. It’s a growing movement among Christians who want to honor God not just in their giving, but in how their money is working every day.
At Stewardship Investments, we use a BRI approach to help our clients avoid funding companies that oppose biblical values. Instead, we focus on investing in those that:
- Promote life, family, and human dignity
- Innovate solutions for healthcare and education
- Lead with transparency and accountability
- Treat employees fairly and give generously
This is investing that honors God. It’s not about sacrificing returns—it’s about pursuing returns with integrity.
Building a Portfolio With Eternal Purpose
In faith-based financial planning, we always come back to this truth: your investments are not just a tool for retirement—they’re a reflection of what you believe.
Jesus said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21).
That applies to every dollar you give, spend, save—or invest.
So what would it look like for your portfolio to echo your values?
Maybe it means moving away from generic index funds and toward investments that fund ethical innovation. Maybe it means asking your financial advisor tough questions. Maybe it means choosing not to profit from industries that harm people.
Whatever the path looks like, it starts by being intentional.
How We Help as a Christian Financial Advisor
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter advice. As a Christian financial advisory firm, our goal is to understand your unique goals, your calling, and your convictions. From there, we build a plan that integrates Biblically Responsible Investing with tax strategy, retirement planning, and legacy giving.
Whether you’re nearing retirement or just beginning to build wealth, we believe your plan should reflect:
- Your desire to be a wise steward
- Your conviction to avoid profiting from injustice
- Your belief that God owns it all
- Your hope to bless others and leave a meaningful legacy
We’ve walked with families through every stage of life—from small business owners to empty nesters, from missionaries to millionaires—and our mission is the same: help Christians invest in a way that reflects Kingdom values.
Ready to Take the Next Step?
If you’ve never looked closely at what’s in your portfolio, or if you’re curious what it would mean to invest more intentionally, let’s talk. This isn’t about guilt—it’s about stewardship. About making sure your money isn’t quietly supporting what you’d never stand for publicly.
Because when you know what you own—and why—it changes everything.
Let’s build something better. Something eternal.
