Certified Kingdom Advisor®

As the weeks turned into months, my studying continued. The breadth of Scripture-fed financial principles motivated me to continue learning and growing. Twenty modules of Scripture-rich content with associated quizzes and case studies, culminated in a four-hour exam which proved the true rigors of the course. Finally, after agreeing to codes of conduct and beliefs and asking several clients to write references for me, I became a Certified Kingdom Advisor®!
The CKA® is a professional designation for Christian Financial Advisors who want to build their practices on biblical principles. Kingdom Advisors (https://kingdomadvisors.com/) is the purveyor of the designation with the goal of providing “a principled class of Christian financial advisors who have been trained in biblically wise financial advice.”
But Kingdom Advisors is much more than the CKA®. Kingdom Advisors holds an annual conference for its members in Orlando which is attended by 1,500 Christian Financial Advisors from around the country. Kingdom Advisors also has a call-in financial program called Moneywise which is chock-full of Scriptural-based financial advice (https://www.moneywise.org/). They also promote monthly study groups in which advisors are encouraged to reflect Christ in ever-increasing ways in their practices. However, the real benefit to you is that Kingdom Advisors provides an on-line search when you are looking for a Christian Financial Advisor (https://www.moneywise.org/find). In a nutshell, Kingdom Advisors is a valuable resource for advisors and those looking for an advisor!
I have earned many degrees and certifications during my life, but this is one that I hold dearly because it signifies the importance of my relationship with God in my financial advisory practice. May each of us seek to include the Lord in every aspect of our lives, including our occupations, for His glory (1 Corinthians 10:31)!
