Brian Cochran is a Certified Kingdom Advisor and the President of John Moore Associates. He said, “One of the exciting changes in the investment industry over the last several years has been the focus on having investment options available to the public that might reflect their values. That includes what we would call Biblically Responsible Investing or BRI Funds. The beauty of using fundamentals, which in our case, we use fundamentals from scripture, actual Biblical wisdom, which is beautiful because it doesn’t change, and it is timeless and transcendent.”
