“The Kingdom Advisors certification process has been a wonderful opportunity to learn from Ron Blue and other industry leaders on how to integrate biblical wisdom into the advice I give to my clients,” says Hobart. “The concepts taught and wisdom shared through Scripture in the training have taught me to be content with my current financial circumstances, recognizing that all we have comes from God and He has called us to be wise stewards of those resources.

Christian clients are discovering the worldview of their financial advisor is of critical importance. The Certified Kingdom Advisor® provides a principled class of Christian financial advisors who have been trained in biblical financial advice. A CKA® desires to assist clients in their Christian values with their financial decisions.
“We’ve seen a rapidly increasing demand for professionals who specialize in the planning differentiators that exist when you apply a biblical worldview to financial decisions, whether for financial or estate planning purposes. People of all income levels are searching for the holistic view that sees their finances through the lens of 2,000+ Bible verses on money,” commented Rob West, President of Kingdom Advisors.
