The Caring Advisor

Welcome to "The Caring Advisor", I'm so glad you're here! I'm Elizabeth Brickman, "The Caring Advisor"! This podcast is for those who long to experience financial happiness God's way. I'm a former finance professional, credentialed in biblical finance. Ten years ago, I left private practice to write books, because I want all of us, not just those who sat at my desk, to develop an increasingly wonderful and holy relationship with money. We will talk about how to resist financial headwinds that come against us, how to make wise decisions, and how to avoid accidental poverty. I'll share stories about my financial faith heroes, clients who humbled me, inspired me, and taught me. These are everyday men and women just like you who got it right. And they serve as models for all of us about who we can be and how we can financially grow in Christ. Don't miss an episode, subscribe on your favorite podcast platform, so you'll be notified immediately when a new episode airs. And I do hope you will tell your family and at least five of your friends! Come visit me at elizabethbrickman.com

Which would be a more profitable pursuit? Conforming to others? Or just being your unique self?

This episode will help you find the courage and make the commitment to be who God wired you to be. Never compare yourself to others or try to imitate the most popular or successful person in your occupation. Why try to fit in if God has wired you to stand out?

Psalm 139 reminds us that God is our creator. He created us—and wired each...

We all tend to want to fit in. But God has designed you to stand out. The body of Christ, just like the human body, has many components. (1 Corinthians 12:14-27). Each of us is God’s custom design. (Psalm 139:13-16). The Lord’s purposes are served when we are natural, authentic, and true to Him and to ourselves.

When it comes to growing your success, authenticity will not limit you. Rather, it will keep the marketplace f...

This episode begins our Wealth Confident series. In this opening episode, Elizabeth Brickman explores one of the most important questions we will ever answer: Whose voice has shaped our identity?

Long before success strategies, business plans, or financial goals, there is identity. The way we see ourselves shapes the opportunities we pursue, the risks we take, the dreams we allow ourselves, and the life we ultimately build.
