Contact: michelle.davis@kingdomadvisors.com

What major events led you to this career place? I had been looking for a different job and had interviewed with Ronald Blue & Company. The position wasn't a good fit, but the personnel director promised to keep my resume in case something else came along. Six months later, I sent her an email to see if any new positions had become available. She emailed me back and said that although RBC didn't have any openings, she knew of a position with an organization called CFPN, headed by Ron Blue. She sent my resume, and so it began! Kingdom Advisors is God's provision for my life - for sure!

Why do you enjoy Kingdom Advisors? I enjoy the interaction with our members and hearing their stories about their practice and how KA is impacting them. I also really enjoy the people I work with here everyday.

Family Brag: I have a terrific son named Spencer who is a student in Bible College. He is the joy of my heart!

Contact: randy.glass@kingdomadvisors.com

What major events led you to this career place? While spending most of my career in global/international banking, I never considered it possible to integrate my faith and my work. Triggered by a mission trip, I felt God calling me to full-time ministry but I struggled with how and where. Soon after I met Ron Blue and he shared the vision of Kingdom Advisors and God gave me the answer. I joined Kingdom Advisors as one the first team members. Today,  my focus is on identifying, resourcing and developing KA members who want to lead and impact Christian advisors in their community, firm or affinity. 

Why do you enjoy Kingdom Advisors? My biggest pleasure is playing a part in helping an advisor who is Christian to start their journey of becoming an intentional and trained Christian financial advisor. Watching their excitement and joy as the "light bulb" turns on is an amazing experience knowing they will eternally impact so many client and other advisors with biblical financial wisdom. 

What do you like about working with our members?  Kingdom Advisors is blessed to have some of the most professional, passionate, committed and successful advisors in the industry. Many of these members go on to lead KA Study Groups and develop Christian advisor communities within their firm or business. These leaders are the backbone of Kingdom Advisors and I love seeing them lead and impact others. 

Family Brag: I have an amazing and beautiful wife, Susan, and I get excited every day about sharing our lives together. She makes me better a man! I’m also very fortunate to still have my incredible parents still pouring Godly love and wisdom into my life every day.

Bucket List: Teeing off at Augusta National, visiting the Holy Land…..and most importantly, hearing “Well done my good and faithful servant” when I leave this crazy world!
