Faith Investments- 3 Day Devotional (Day 3)

Accessibility for All

And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.  And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.  And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:   For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

- Luke 21:1‭-‬4

Faith Driven Investing is for everyone. From the widow and her mite to the rich young ruler. The size and scope of your investment portfolio is irrelevant—we’re here to see how much good we can do with what we have. We’re approaching investments with a heart posture of those who serve an incredible God who has the power to do good through our open hands.

We aspire that investment vehicles which include Spiritual Integration will be accessible for all investors. While SEC rules make this hard across all asset classes, it’s a worthy objective over time. The goal of this whole idea is to be conscious and transparent with investors who have different capacities. 

The appropriate ‘pacing’ of different investors into novel investment vehicles may differ, but our objective is that all investors—with different pocket-books but similar heart postures—will be able to participate as products and supporting data becomes available.

Because we know what God can do with just a handful of fish and a few loaves of bread, we eagerly invite everyone to the table. You can be a part of this discussion. You don’t have to wait until you have a certain level of portfolio or until you have a few extra zeroes in your bank account. This movement isn’t about the numbers. It’s about the people involved.

So, don’t hesitate to jump in. You’re welcome here. There’s always a seat at this table for anyone who is interested in finding out how God can use the things He has given us as we give them back to Him.

Further Thought

• What are some things that cause you to hesitate when it comes to being a Faith Driven Investor? Is there any part of you that shies away from this idea?
• Why does it matter that we have an attitude of complete and total accessibility for all investors?
• What do you see in Jesus’ treatment of the widow with two mites that you’d like to replicate in your own life?
