5 Things Every CHRISTIAN Should Consider When Investing

It was 17 years ago that Christian Financial Principles was born, with a vision of helping Christians build wealth in a Biblically-responsible manner. Early on, we realized one big obstacle with our name: it was confusing! The name “Christian Financial Principles” had people asking us, “What exactly do you do?” Many people were wrongly assuming we handled debt reduction, budget counseling, or some sort of church finances. Never did anyone assume we handled investments and financial planning advice. This is what sent us seeking a name that would adequately represent our mission. It may have taken us 17 years to finally make it happen, but we are excited about the new name!
So, why did we choose “StrongTower Wealth Management?” The “wealth management” part was pretty simple as it tells what we do. Wealth management directs people’s thoughts to investments and financial planning needs. What about the “StrongTower” part of our name? We have drawn from verses in both Proverbs and Psalms where the Lord is referred to as a Strong Tower. At first glance, one might assume that we are portraying ourselves as strong and enduring. Quite the contrary, however. We realize there is no security in money or possessions, as that comes from Christ alone. We hope to point people to THE Strong Tower. It is our vision and purpose to help our clients to be wise financial stewards by following the principles taught throughout scripture. We want to help our clients to become outstanding financial stewards.
In a way, nothing has really changed other than our name and appearance. At the same time, we can’t help but feel a renewed sense of vision and purpose when serving our clients. We are excited about these improvements and are committed to building even more on our fruitful relationships with you. Welcome to the new StrongTower Wealth Management!

I am so blessed! God has provided me with an amazing family, a unique and fulfilling business vision, outstanding coworkers, and enriching ministry outreach. I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart since December, 1999. Holly and I have two beautiful, intelligent, feisty, and somewhat strong-willed little girls. We are members of Crossgate Church in Hot Springs, Arkansas where we serve in a variety of roles. I’m a finance brat since I grew up with parents in the financial services industry. Even at age 10 I was helping my dad put together old-school slides for financial seminars. As soon as I graduated from college with a degree in business management, I attained my series 7 and series 66 securities licenses. It’s hard to believe, but I’ve been in this business for over half of my life. I’m the Registered Principal for StrongTower which basically means not only do I manage investments and do financial planning for clients, but also supervise our office via a Series 24 securities license. Beyond the business, I also love teaching what the Bible says about money. I’m blown away at how God has been willing to use us to teach good stewardship principles. He has opened the doors of churches, seminaries, marriage retreats, businesses, and more. I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to speak at over 80 different venues since 2000. We even had a radio program and TV show for many years. I have also written curriculum for the American Baptist Association and my church. My other passion is landscape photography. There is something special about getting away from the distractions of this life to enjoy God’s creation. The art of capturing nature through the lens is somewhat therapeutic to me.
