169: You Might Be Funding Things You Don’t Believe In
Most retirees spend a lot of time asking, Will I have enough? But what if there's another question worth asking: Is my money making an eternal impact?
In this episode of iRetire4Him, Jim and Martha Brangenberg welcome Luke Andrews of Inspire Advisors for a practical conversation about Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI). Luke shares how many Christians unknowingly own investments that support causes and values they don't agree with – and how it's possible to align your portfolio with your faith without sacrificing sound financial planning.
More than just a discussion about investments, this episode explores what it means to view retirement as a season of purpose. Instead of simply preserving wealth, retirees have an opportunity to steward their resources in ways that support God's work and leave a lasting legacy.
