As a Christian financial planner, Michelle Brow ChFC® founded Full Bloom Financial because she is dedicated to helping you align your financial decisions with your faith and values. Our biblical approach to financial planning ensures that we honor God with the resources He has entrusted to us.
1. Discovery: Laying the Foundation
Our journey begins with a complimentary Discovery Meeting. This initial consultation is crucial in ensuring that Full Bloom Financial aligns perfectly with your needs, life goals, and Christian values. Often, a key life event or particular concern prompts Christian women to seek financial advice. During this meeting, we'll explore your aspirations deeply, ensuring that your financial plan reflects your personal values and visions.

2. Commitment: Joining Forces in Faith
Once we confirm a great fit, we'll formalize our partnership with a Financial Planning Agreement. This agreement outlines our mutual commitments and sets the stage for crafting a financial strategy as unique as you are, rooted in biblical principles.

3. Organization: Stewarding Your Resources
Guided by the principle of biblical stewardship, we'll help you organize your financial details efficiently using a secure portal for document uploads. This step ensures we have a clear view of your financial landscape, essential for developing a robust and effective strategy that honors your life goals and God.

4. Strategic Planning: Cultivating Financial Wisdom
With all your information at hand, we'll craft your comprehensive financial strategy. As your Christian financial advisor, we'll cover all facets of your financial life, including:
  • Cash flow management
  • Retirement and investment strategies, aligned with biblically responsible investing principles
  • Insurance review
  • Tax-efficient strategies
  • Estate planning considerations
  • Social Security optimization
  • Medicare planning

Every aspect of your plan is cultivated with care, precision, and adherence to biblical financial principles.

5. Your Unique, Individualized Financial Plan
During this pivotal meeting, we'll review your existing financial approach and identify areas for enhancement, always keeping your Christian values and unique life goals at the forefront. Using specialized financial tools, simulations, and stress tests, we'll evaluate different scenarios to strengthen and adapt your unique, individualized Financial Plan.

We'll help you prioritize and implement changes, compiling a clear list of Action Items to guide your journey toward financial life abundance and peace. You can access your Financial Plan anytime to review these Action Items and run different scenarios yourself.

6. Progress Meetings: Nurturing Your Financial Growth
With your Financial Plan in motion, our relationship evolves into a nurturing phase of regular Progress Meetings to review and make any updates to your Financial Plan.  You'll meet with us regularly, twice a year,  to ensure your Financial Plan and Investments remain aligned with your personal life goals and Christian values.

Between these scheduled Progress Meetings, remember: you have a trusted Christian Financial Planner in your "back pocket." We're just a call, email, or text away to assist with any immediate financial needs or questions - freeing you to focus on your business, ministry, family, loved ones and the passions God has given you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is biblically responsible investing, and how does it differ from traditional investment management?


Biblically responsible investing (BRI) is an approach that aligns your investment portfolio with Christian values. Unlike traditional investment management, BRI screens companies based on biblical principles, avoiding those that conflict with Christian teachings while supporting those that align with godly values.

A fiduciary financial advisor is legally and ethically bound to act in their clients' best interests. This means they must provide unbiased financial advice and recommend investments that are best for you, not what earns them the highest commission or highest profit.
 

How do I choose a Christian financial advisor?


When choosing a Christian financial advisor, consider their credentials (such as Chartered Financial Consultant® ChFC®), their commitment to biblical stewardship, and their approach to faith-based financial planning. Ensure they offer fee-only services and have a fiduciary responsibility to their clients.
 

What is biblical stewardship, and how does it apply to financial planning?


Biblical stewardship is the principle that all we have is entrusted to us by God. In financial planning, this means managing our resources wisely, generously, and in alignment with God's purposes. A Christian financial advisor can help you apply these principles to your financial decisions.
 

How can working with a Christian financial advisor help me find financial peace?


A Christian financial advisor can help you align your financial decisions with your faith, reducing conflicts between your values and your money management. By creating a comprehensive financial plan based on biblical principles, they can guide you towards financial freedom and peace of mind.
 

What services does a Christian financial advisor typically provide?


Christian financial advisors typically offer a range of services including investment management, retirement planning, estate planning, tax strategies, and charitable giving advice. They provide these services through a biblical lens, ensuring that your financial decisions align with your faith and values.
 

How often should I meet with my Christian financial advisor?


Most advisors recommend meeting regularly at least once a year.  At Full Bloom Financial, we schedule regular Progress Meetings twice a year. However, you should also reach out whenever you face significant life changes or have important financial decisions to make. Your advisor is there to provide ongoing financial guidance and support.
