Practices of a Faith Driven InvestorSample

Collaboration

The secular investment world is known to work well together through the formation of investment syndicates and conferences that share best practices. Why shouldn’t the Christian world be the same? In fact, we should endeavor to be even more unified as we resist the move toward sectarianism and denominational tribalism that has characterized much of recent church history. 

Being a Faith Driven Investor means having an anti-Tower of Babel mindset. It’s so easy to bifurcate the world of investing over and over again with groups splitting and keeping to themselves. The Faith Driven Investor is all about going in the opposite direction—instead of spreading apart, we’re coming together.

We were designed to be in community and fellowship with God and to receive wise counsel from others that know Him. Iron sharpens iron.

Though impressive in its scope and ambition, the Tower of Babel failed because of the impure motives of those that labored. We are working together in the hopes, not of bringing glory to ourselves, but of offering a worthy sacrifice to God.

Faith Driven Investors of all sizes believe that we can work together in community with excellence as we build something with God’s guidance for His glory. Therefore, we endeavor to check the purity of our motives regularly—which is something we need each other’s help with!

Because we come with a conviction of abundance, this foundation should give us the ability to work well together in sharing ideas, deals, and investors. We worship one God and our work is all for Him.
