About Jordan Dongell
I didn’t take the traditional route to becoming a financial advisor. After nearly six years practicing law in Lexington, I realized my career was out of sync with my personality, my strengths, and the way I wanted to live out my Christian faith. Through a season of deep reflection and prayer, I began to clarify what I truly wanted: to work directly with people, make a meaningful impact in my community, and integrate my faith into my professional life. It felt like a tall order—until I found Thrivent.
Now, back in my hometown of Wilmore, I have the privilege of serving friends, family, neighbors, and the broader community as a financial advisor. My goal is to build a practice rooted in trust, honesty, and accessibility—not just for the wealthy, but for anyone seeking guidance. I believe being a fiduciary means putting people first, not just when it’s convenient. Everyone deserves advice that’s in their best interest, and I’m here to offer just that.

My Practice and Values
Thrivent offers a unique opportunity to its advisors, who can leverage the resources and power of a Fortune 500 company within the framework of Christian values of stewardship, generosity, and honest transparency. This is a rare blend for any company, even more rare in the realm of financial services.
In my practice, I'm committed to serving you with these values:
Educational: Every meeting with me, even the first consultation, should result in you understanding more about your finances and feeling more in control of your situation.
Approachable: Finances often touch complicated and sensitive issues, and I want you to feel comfortable asking any question you need. I want to develop plans that fit you, and that means I want to hear what you think.
Professional: Your information is confidential to my team, and you deserve prompt responses to your calls and emails. Every client deserves attention, preparation, and respect.
Faithful: Money is a tool to be used well, not a goal for its own sake. This principle of stewardship is a closely held part of my faith, and I'm committed to serving you from a position of faith. Your money should serve you and your family, not dictate life choices to you.
