Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI):

Putting Your Money Where Your Faith Is

Let’s face it: investing can feel like a maze. Stocks, bonds, ETFs—oh my! But here’s the thing: your investments are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They’re a reflection of your values. That’s where Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) steps in—it’s about aligning your portfolio with your purpose and values.

At its heart, BRI asks a simple question: What kind of world are you funding? Are your dollars propping up industries that go against your faith, or are they championing causes that align with God’s Kingdom? It’s time to take your seat at the table and invest in what matters most.

How We’re Different: Inspire’s Approach to BRI

At Inspire, we believe faith-filled investing should be active, purposeful, and—dare we say it—a bit revolutionary. That’s why we follow a three-fold strategy: Endorse, Engage, Exclude.

    1. Endorse: Champion the Good Stuff
      We’re all about finding companies that inspire. (See what we did there?) These are businesses that value generosity, operate with integrity, and care for people and the planet. Think of it like cheering from the bleachers for the MVPs in the corporate world—the ones making a real difference.
    2. Engage: Conversations That Matter
      When a company’s doing something that needs a little nudge (or a firm tap on the shoulder), we engage. Through shareholder advocacy, we hold companies accountable, encouraging them to adopt practices that align with biblical values. It’s kind of like being the friend who gently tells someone they have spinach in their teeth—awkward but necessary.
    3. Exclude: Say “No Thanks” to the Bad Stuff
      Let’s get real: some industries just don’t align with biblical principles. Pornography, abortion, human trafficking, addictions—we want no part of funding these. So, we cut them out of the portfolio altogether. Call it tough love, but it’s love nonetheless.

Inspire: Not Just Investing, Impacting
At Inspire, we’re more than just financial advisors and planners—we’re bridge-builders, bringing faith and finance together in a way that makes sense. We believe every dollar can be a seed planted for God’s glory, and every investor can be a steward shaping the world for the better. “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21).

But we don’t stop there. Enter Inspire Give50—our bold initiative to practice what we preach. Through Give50, we commit to giving at least 50% of our corporate profits to impactful causes like fighting poverty, supporting orphans, planting churches, and spreading the Gospel. Why? Because we believe generosity is contagious, and we’re leading by example. “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7).

So, let’s make your portfolio a reflection of your prayers, your principles, and your purpose. Because with Inspire, every investment makes an eternal impact. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters” (Colossians 3:23).
