A Christian Financial Advisor bases their advice on biblical principles and considers both your spiritual and financial goals. They encourage God-honoring stewardship and may avoid certain investments based on faith values. Many Christian advisors are certified as Kingdom Advisors (CKA®), indicating specialized training in applying biblical wisdom to financial decisions. Their approach integrates faith into financial planning, helping you manage money in a way that aligns with your Christian values.
In contrast, a traditional financial advisor typically focuses primarily on financial metrics and may not consider spiritual aspects in their planning. They generally don't incorporate faith into their advice or factor biblical principles into investment choices. However, both types of advisors should be qualified (e.g., CFP®) and act in your best interest. The main difference lies in the Christian advisor's commitment to viewing finances through a biblical lens, which can lead to different perspectives on spending, saving, investing, and giving.
