Financial Advisors and investors are starting to catch on to the concept of Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI).  The common sense understanding that if a company is being run on Biblical principles, the likelihood that shareholders and employees of those companies would be rewarded for investing their money and time there should be a given.  Very little has been written in the public square about BRI and DLS Consulting is one of the leading consulting firms to specialize in this area.

• Does God really care how we make our money or how we invest the assets He has entrusted to us? 
• Will investors who adopt BRI strategies give up potential returns compared to their secular counterparts? 
• Are their advisors in my part of the country that understand this concept and could help me with my retirement, savings, and investments?

Biblical Investing: Christians who are investing funds for themselves and for their churches, schools, and organizations, without solid Christian financial advice, also find themselves in a difficult quandary. As the activities of many corporations give cause for discomfort, they may not be fulfilling God's calling to invest with Biblically Responsible Investments (BRI). Dwight has had extensive experience in dealing with Christian Investment issues, as one of the founding members of In His Steps Foundation (IHS), a Christian Community Foundation. This has been a great training ground for viewing many of the prominent providers of Biblical Investment services.

Consulting goals of investors who require this type of help find that their goals can be met with single consultations; 6 month; or 12 month consulting agreements in order to become self sufficient in implementing BRI strategies.  DLS Consulting can also arrange for a speaker to attend functions for your organization that would help highlight BRI as well as other important topics of interest to Christians and their investments.

Other credentials:

• Currently the Treasurer of IHS and the head of the foundation's Investment Advisory Committee.
• Achieved the coveted CIMA (Certified Investment Management Analyst) designation.
