My Philosophy on Investing
I believe investing should be simple, steady, and grounded in Biblical wisdom. Ecclesiastes 11:2 teaches the importance of diversification, and that principle shapes the way I approach money: spread risk, avoid greed, and build patiently over time instead of chasing quick wins.
Stewardship is more than finances—it’s about honoring God with how we use our resources, our time, and our opportunities. The right investments can build stability, reduce stress, and open doors to serve others. My goal is to create tools and habits that help people move toward peace, not pressure.
