Financial Advisor: Wes Bridel
We’re looking at changing the Financial Advisor: About Wes Bridel page and several others of the site. When we first put up the site, I hired people to help me and they basically wrote what they wanted to. This is my attempt to quickly tell my story (in 3rd person!) in a more relevant way. […]
Types of Entities
Recently, we introduced the idea of entities and why you might need one or more. Today, we’ll give you some brief perspective on them – although only an incomplete starter kit with a few ideas thrown in. Here are the major types of businesses most people would consider (there are more specialty types for particular […]
Congrats – You’re the CEO
If you’re to be a better steward for God, its helpful to think of yourself as the CEO of a company. If you were the Chief Executive Officer of an organization, you would have myriad goals, duties and responsibilities. And though you would report to the shareholders who own the company, you would manage it […]
His Most Trusted Servant
If we are called to be stewards of all that God gives us, what does that mean? As you’re faithful with what you have, God will increase what He trusts you with. A steward in biblical times was the most highly favored and most trusted servant. He managed all the household affairs of his master […]
Kingdom Calling vs. Financial Advisors: Who Benefits
If you’ve been reading this blog for some time, you may remember me asking the following questions: 1)Does a bank, or other financial institution want all of your money or just some of it? 2)When you make more money in the future, do they want that too? 3)Do they want to give your money back […]
Kingdom Calling vs. Financial Advisors: Forfeiting Your Power
I feel sorry for most of the common people I hear about who have lost wealth, lost their way, or both in the financial storm we’re currently weathering. “Why cry for those whose fault it is?” I’ve been asked. Certainly these people were at fault. One can throw blame upon many right now, and that’s […]
Are you “holy” enough? (Mt 9-Part 2)
Yesterday, Part 1 of Mt 9 looked at the faith aspects of the chapter and how we can block God’s blessings in our life. Today we look at what kind of person God is looking for to be His emissary on earth. If you feel like you are not holy enough or in some other […]
The 3 Levels of Tithing: Level 2
Many people outside the Church practice tithing (continued from yesterday). People of other religions do it. I’ve seen modern financial books that I would consider “new age” that promote tithing in some form. They all receive a blessing for doing this. And yet too many of us in the Church look suspiciously at a pastor […]
The 3 Levels of Tithing: Level 1
Everyone who is in Christ has been bought by the blood of Christ. You are His. Everything you own has become His. You are only a steward over your money and possessions. Without this, eternity is a curse, and with it, a blessing. He grants you ever increasing love, joy, peace & blessing (this does […]
Are you wise in Jesus’ eyes? Part II (Mt 7:24-27)
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25″And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on […]
