Scheeler Financial Group

We partner primarily with Christians approaching retirement who see themselves as Stewards of what has been entrusted to them. They want to identify what is needed to maintain the lifestyle God has called them to. They want to make an impact in the community for the kingdom as well as give their children advantages to enable them to be all they can be. We do this by taking the time to understand who our clients are, what is important to them, their goals and preferences, and the impact they hope to make in their life. From there we design a financial plan and determine the optimal investment strategies to get them where they want to go. We are then proactive about enhancing and updating the strategies for the changing dynamics of life.

What first inspired you to get into your line of work? And what motivates you to do the work you do still today?

I started as an entry-level assistant in my 20s not knowing anything about financial services. However, I believe in doing the work God puts before me as well as I can. I focused on becoming fully licensed and then earned further designations as I love learning and using knowledge to help people. I had the opportunity to work in a home-office setting training other advisors, but my passion is working with clients. I recently reached my 20-year anniversary!

How did you come to faith in Christ?

When I was 25 a number of things converged together – my first child was born, I was studying the amazing engineering of life as a biology major and a number of people challenged me on taking my faith seriously and on my hypocrisy in sin. While this was the foundation, I had a powerful personal experience that changed my direction instantly.

How does your faith impact the way you do business?

Of course, it is critical to honor God through honest transactions and communication.

Yet as a financial advisor, I take a biblical view that God has entrusted each of us as a Steward and will ask for an accounting on our last day. I hope to help my clients find peace of mind and contentment by following biblical money principles that maximize what is done for the kingdom so that we will one day hear, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

We do this through comprehensive and personalized goal setting, financial planning, and investment selection combined with a personal relationship.

What ministry/cause do you champion and why?

I champion Mary’s Meals, a global ministry built on a beautifully simple idea: one good meal, served every school day, in some of the world’s poorest communities. For a hungry child, that meal is often the reason to show up at school at all, and an education is what opens the door out of poverty. Today Mary’s Meals feeds more than three million children every school day. I lost my father when I was eleven, and I learned early how much a child’s future can depend on someone choosing to care. Years later, losing our oldest daughter deepened that conviction for Ellie and me: every child’s life carries immeasurable worth. As a financial advisor, I help families align their money with their mission, and I’ve come to believe that generosity is the most fulfilling use of wealth. Mary’s Meals is where I see that truth come alive, as a small, faithful gift is multiplied into hope, dignity, and a future for a child. I still believe it is “faith working through love” that transforms lives.
