When was the last time you heard a sermon about

financial stewardship?

You've been missing out on so much more about what the Bible says about our finance.

The Bible mentions money

more than 2,300 times.

In fact, Jesus Himself talks about money more than faith and prayer combined.

Our mission is to help people find transformation through applying biblical principles to their finances.

That's why we regularly help churches, businesses and organizations host workshops and courses on financial literacy topics under a stewardship lens.

Sample topics include:

Stewardship 101,

6 Steps to Estate Planning,

Biblically Responsible Investing,

Financial Strategies

for Every Business Stage

Ivan Chen

CFP, CKA, CLU, CHS, MFA-P, EPC, CPCA, CEA, RIS

Ivan has been in the financial services industry since 2004. After following the world’s way of building wealth and getting into $100K of consumer debt, everything started to fall apart in 2008 when he lost his income. He felt like a hypocrite teaching people about finance when he couldn’t figure it out himself. He started searching the Bible for guidance and found out how much the Bible actually talked about finance. By following the biblical wisdom he was able to pay off his debts and save at the same time in 3 years. He co-founded Rise Above Finance as part of the vision to create a culture of stewardship in every Christian household.

Ivan's mission is to equip faithful stewards to put God at the center of every financial decision.
