Video: A professional advisor’s opinion – Give what sparks joy (Mark Berg)
A Chicago financial advisor has built his practice around the belief that generosity should be part of every financial conversation. By helping clients connect their resources with their values, he has seen giving become a source of joy rather than just another financial obligation.
One couple discovered that shift firsthand after being asked a simple question about whether they truly enjoyed giving. With biblical guidance and intentional planning, they began viewing generosity not as another bill to pay, but as an opportunity to invest in God’s Kingdom with purpose and excitement.
- Faith-centered financial planning can help restore the joy of giving.
- Conversations about generosity often deepen advisor-client relationships.
- A biblical perspective keeps stewardship at the center of financial decisions.
- Advisors have an opportunity to help clients align their wealth with their Kingdom values.
The advisor encourages others in his profession to begin the conversation about generosity with their clients. His experience shows that when stewardship becomes part of financial planning, it can strengthen relationships and help families experience the lasting joy of faithful giving.
