From Coach Gibbs:
"The fact is that within the Bible, there are over 2,300 references to money, more than most topics. When it comes to handling your money according to Christian principles, Ron Blue wrote the book and set the standards. Ron has the heart of a pastor or priest and the mind of a CPA and CFO. When it comes to the topic of money for the Game Plan for Life, Ron is the hall of famer."
Official Player Stats:
Following his graduation from Indiana University with a Masters of Business Administration degree, Ron joined the management group of Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. In 1970, Ron founded an Indianapolis-based CPA firm that has grown to be one of the 50 largest CPA firms in the United States.
Convinced that Christians would better handle their personal finances if they were counseled objectively with the highest technical expertise and from a Biblical perspective, he founded a financial planning firm in 1979. That firm grew to manage over $2 billion in assets for its more than 5,000 clients nationwide with a staff of over 175 people in 14 regional offices.
Ron retired from the financial planning firm in 2003 in order to lead Kingdom Advisors, an international effort to equip and motivate Christian financial professionals to serve the body of Christ by implementing biblical wisdom in their lives and practices.
Ron is the author of sixteen books, including the best-seller, Master Your Money, now in its thirtieth printing, Wealth to Last, co-authored with Larry Burkett, and his most recent book, Splitting Heirs.
