🏈 A pretty great day to be a Packers fan! 💚💛
Earlier this month, Adelio had the opportunity to visit Lambeau Field for the Thrivent x Green Bay Packers Pep Rally!
It was a fun opportunity to experience the energy at Lambeau, connect with others, and celebrate the partnership between Thrivent and the Green Bay Packers, all in one of Wisconsin’s most iconic places.
And judging by that smile, Adelio enjoyed the experience just a little bit. 😄
Thanks to Thrivent for putting together such a memorable event!
Go Pack Go! 🏈💚💛

👋 Meet the Team Monday! 🚗
We’re continuing our September series by asking our team:
“If you could learn one thing instantly, what would it be?”
This week, we’re featuring Adelio, and his answer is working on cars! 🔧🚘
There’s just something satisfying about being able to pop the hood, know exactly what you’re looking at, figure out what’s wrong, and actually know how to fix it! 😄
For Adelio, being able to instantly understand the ins and outs of working on cars would be a pretty useful skill to have and probably save a few trips to the mechanic along the way! 🔧
No manuals, no YouTube tutorials, no trial and error… just hand him the tools and let him get to work! 😂
Now we want to hear from you!
If you could learn ONE thing instantly, what would it be? Let us know in the comments! 👇✨

Twenty-five years have passed, but the memories of that day and the people at the heart of them have not been forgotten.

👋 Meet the Team Monday! 🎹
It’s a new month, which means we have a new question for our team!
Throughout September, we’re asking:
“If you could learn one thing instantly, what would it be?”
First up is Ashley, and her answer is playing the piano! 🎶
Now, here’s the funny part… Ashley actually took piano lessons for 14 years! 🎹 She definitely put in the time, but she says she never got quite as good at it as she would have liked.
Her mom, on the other hand, is one of those people who can seemingly sit down at the piano and play anything! Ashley has always wished she had a little more of that natural ability herself. ❤️
So if she could instantly master one thing, she’d love to sit down at the piano and just PLAY! 😄🎶
We’re excited to see what the rest of our team chooses, and we want to hear your answer, too!

Here’s to a great first year, Jayna! Go, Wisconsin! ❤️🤍🦡

We’re wrapping up our August series by asking our team:
“If you could teach a class, what would it be?”

His answer? Argumentation & Advocacy! 🗣️
Duane actually took a class like this in college, and it has stuck with him over the years. He’s always thought it would be a fun subject to teach someday!
Learning how to build an argument, communicate your ideas clearly, and advocate for your point of view definitely makes for an interesting classroom! 😄
We’ve had some great answers from our team this month, and now we want to hear yours!

This week, we’re featuring Mike! 📚
His answer? Personal Finance! 💰
Considering Mike’s career, we’d say this answer is pretty fitting! 😄
And if you know Mike, you know he already enjoys teaching people, especially when he gets the chance to break out the whiteboard in his office! 😂 Give Mike a marker, a whiteboard, and a topic he enjoys talking about, and he’s in his element.
So, a personal finance class? We think he’d be ready for it! 📚
