🍂 Avoid the Politics, Pass the Pie… and Talk Estate Planning! 🦃 We all know the drill: Thanksgiving dinner starts with grace and ends with someone bringing up politics. This year, why not steer the conversation in a smarter (and less awkward) direction? Try these estate planning zingers instead: 🦃 “Hey, did you know 67% of people don’t have a will? Looks like we’ll be arguing over more than just the turkey leftovers!” 🥧 "Without an estate plan, the government decides who gets your stuff. Do you think Uncle Sam knows how to use your air fryer?" 🦃 “Fun fact: You don’t have to be rich to have an estate plan. If you’ve got a Netflix password to pass on, it’s time to plan!” 🥧 “Planned giving isn’t just for billionaires—it’s how you leave a legacy! Like Aunt Carol’s famous casserole, but forever.” Skip the family drama and talk about something meaningful this Thanksgiving. Estate planning can bring peace of mind and ensure your values live on. #Thanksgiving #EstatePlanning #LegacyPlanning #PassThePie

Today, we pause to recognize the bravery and sacrifices of the men and women who have served in our nation’s military. At Financial Planning Ministry, we are deeply grateful for the freedoms they have defended and the values they upheld, which allow us all to live and give freely. On this Veterans Day, we extend a heartfelt thank you to all who have served. May we honor them not just today, but through how we live each day in appreciation of their commitment and sacrifice. May God bless our veterans and their families. #VeteransDay #ThankYouVeterans #HonoringHeroes

As the hurricanes continue to impact the East Coast, our hearts are with everyone affected, especially our ministry partners and staff in North Carolina, Florida, and surrounding areas.

Psalm 46:1 reminds us that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Together, let us lift up our friends, families, and communities, trusting in His faithful care to shelter them during this time.
