My mission every day that I wake up - is to address the myths and misconceptions around Christians and money, while ensuring that I work to #BeMore, #HaveMore, #GiveMore.
We offer programs that challenge the Christian entrepreneur to bring their business into alignment with Biblical operating standards, moving profit from a reason for existence to a hundred fold-result of ex*****on.
I am an Ordained Minister, the Biblical Stewardship Auditor who surgically dissects the Christian income earner’s life, challenges their status quo, and partners with God to help reinforce bold courage, Biblical operating standards, and a laser-focus on having a profitable return to whatever God puts under your control.
There are too many Christians in line for a handOUT and not enough of us able to offer a hand UP. This needs to change and I share with you what God showed me.
I grew up a Missionary Kid, and I know family finance from that perspective.
I served a Christian non-profit in an administrative capacity, and I know ministry finance from that perspective.
I served in corporate America and had to handle a multi-million dollar budget for the two departments I ran. I understand faithful and ethical financial management from that perspective.
I served as a church administrator, plus my father and brother are senior Pastors of both small and sizeable congregations, so I know church finances from an inside perspective.
I endured a divorce 25 years ago and survived that financial ruin. So I know personal finances from that perspective.
I took care of my grandmother in her final years and administrated her affairs. I know family finances from a Caregiver's perspective.
God buffered my family with abundance before the recession, so I enjoyed finances from a place of abundance perspective.
Our family then lost it all during the recession of 2006-2012, and a member of our family had to file for bankruptcy. So I know desperation from that perspective.
Then the Lord helped us climb out of that deep negative financial hole after the recession. I know restorative finance and trusting God through the storm perspective.
I have many years of serving the families in various churches as a financial literacy table leader and/or Budget Coach. So I have a general overview of family financial situations from that perspective.
I helped author a state-approved pre-marriage course that included the mandatory segment on family finances. So, I understand divorce avoidance over money issues from that perspective.
I am building multiple profitable businesses and Coach other Christian entrepreneurs to do the same. So I understand Biblical Finance from a leadership perspective.
It’s true - I am credentialed in the finance space, achieved the highest rank in one of my companies, and followed by more than 27K fans; but what most people do not know is - there was a time when I would peak out my window expecting to see the Repo Man, and grateful for help from my parents to feed my kids. I am Trudy Beerman.
There is a problem that truly bothers me, and it bothered me because God has called me to partner with Him to help solve it. I am not one to simply see a problem and talk about the problem (whine, whine, whine). There are too many Christians in line for a handout instead of being in a position to offer a hand UP. Christians historically, and today have been generous givers to worthy causes. Today, Christian tithing and giving is down and Christians struggle with the idea of being wealthy and some even see it as a sign of holiness to be poor. I help Christian income earners, particularly Christian business owners, become profitable managers of what God has put under our control, moving them to become joyful, impactful givers.
I am a Biblical Financial Strategist who provides strategies that help the small business owner fund their expansion by building business credit, improve their personal credit to a 720+ score, so they become debt-free, outrageously profitable, and joyfully generous.
I know the catch 22 we experience and have made strides to build the bridge we all so urgently need. We tend to make more money than the average W2 employee, but we write everything off in taxes and now our tax records limit our ability to say - qualify for a home loan.
We max our personal credit to build the business, then we limit that build because our credit is destroyed.
THERE IS ANOTHER WAY!
I bring certified credentials, prayer, love, my testimony, my ever-increasing maturity in Christ, and my experiences to the consulting table.
Check out my signature CASHercise(TM) program and get out of the handouts line, and lead in impacting lives by being in a position to offer a hand UP! Don’t just take my word on this.
