Feeling Stuck?
A few years ago, my wife Betsy was ready to re-enter the workforce full-time. She had worn many hats: teacher, outdoor ministry director, stay-at-home parent, part-time youth & family leader. But like so many others, she hit that familiar question:
“Where do I even begin?”
We scrolled through job boards, thousands of listings. I remember joking, “What even is a Produce Lead?” And more seriously: “How do you find meaningful work these days?”
Fast forward—today she’s teaching middle school science and absolutely loves it. But it didn’t happen through a website. It happened through conversations, encouragement, and clarity.
And that’s what I want to offer you.
If you’re feeling:
– Tapped out in your current job
– Like your career plateaued years ago
– Trapped in a windowless office or stuck behind a windshield
– Like you’re missing out on life with your family
– Like you're made for something more
Then let’s have a conversation. No pressure. No pitch. Just possibilities.
At Thrivent, we’re looking for values-based leaders—people who care deeply about others, are energized to grow, and want to make a lasting impact. Many of our best Financial Advisors came from careers in education, ministry, retail, military service, or nonprofit work.
Most didn't apply on a job board.
They were introduced. Encouraged. Invited.
So consider this your invitation.
Or maybe think of your friend to introduce.
