Ron Blue talks with Michael Blue, Kurt Cornfield, and Rob West about the vision for taking the message of biblical financial stewardship to the church, the university, and the marketplace. Each of these men plays a key role in the development of the vision. Michael Blue, Director for Professional and Church at the Ron Blue Institute has been integrally involved in taking the message of biblical stewardship to the marketplace via a new church curriculum and the re-write of the 30th anniversary edition of Master Your Money. As a professor for financial planning students at Liberty, Kurt Cornfield has pioneered taking the message of biblically wise financial advice to college campuses as he trains the next generation of Christian financial advisors. And, as President of Kingdom Advisors, Rob West is helping to shape the future of the specialty of biblically wise financial advice in the industry. You will be excited and encouraged to hear updates from all three and to understand how the vision is being accomplished in various arenas.
Michael Blue serves as the President and General Counsel for the Ron Blue Institute. In this role, he focuses on providing content and curriculum for high schools, colleges, and universities in the area of biblical financial stewardship and generosity. Prior to his role with the Ron Blue Institute Michael practiced for ten years as an attorney focusing on business and securities law, real estate acquisition, development and leasing, and estate planning.
