The Chase is the all-consuming drive for good when God chases you with great (Psalms 23:6). Whatever you are doing, landing a deal, selling a company, moving investments, or leading an organization, you were made for this moment. However, as a financial advisor, I've heard the pain and frustration that comes with the responsibilities of wealth. If you give me 15 minutes a couple of times a month, I'd like to encourage you, center us around our unity and identity with Jesus, talk practically about investing, and remind us all of the Great God has for us.The Chase: soundfsg.com/thechaseDisclosure and citations: soundfsg.com/disclosuresSound Financial: soundfsg.com
