About Robert Lawson
About Robert Lawson

Growing up in eastern Kentucky taught Rob several important lessons: to love his fellow Kentuckians and to have their back. This is demonstrated daily in his support for charitable causes benefitting these communities, his life’s work in financial planning, and the love he has for his family.


Always the ‘steady one’, Rob possesses innate leadership qualities which serve him well as a Wealth Advisor at Thrivent, a Board Member with both the Christian Appalachian Project and Habitat for Humanity of Lexington and coaching of his son’s sporting events. Aside from these important responsibilities, Rob also loves his University of Kentucky Wildcats and has a fondness for things starting with the letter ‘B’: boxing, barbecue, bourbon, and Brittany.


Rob is proud to be a Thrivent financial professional. He provides personalized financial guidance to people at all stages of life. At Thrivent, we view money not as a goal, but as a tool — one that can afford you a life rich in meaning and gratitude. We believe humanity thrives when individuals make the most of all they've been given. He is here to help you do just that.

Debate: How to Retire Like a Christian - Christianity Today
Debate: How to Retire Like a Christian - Christianity Today📖 Brittany Featured in Christianity Today One of the things we appreciate most about Brittany is her ability to help people see retirement as more than reaching a financial goal. Retirement is a new season of purpose, impact, relationships, and becoming more fully who God created us to be. That's why we were excited to see Brittany join Christianity Today alongside Arnie Cole and Bishop Walter S. Thomas Sr. for a thoughtful discussion on what it means to "retire like a Christian." The conversation explored topics such as purpose, stewardship, legacy, health, and making the most of the opportunities that come with this next chapter of life. One thought Brittany shared during the conversation continues to resonate with us: "I often describe retirement as becoming paycheck optional. But it's not purpose optional." The article is a wonderful reminder that some of the most important retirement questions aren't financial at all. They're questions about purpose, family, faith, service, and the legacy we hope to leave behind. We're proud of Brittany for sharing her perspective and honored to be part of conversations that help people think more deeply about living with purpose in every season of life. A special thank you to Kristy Etheridge and Christianity Today for including Brittany in such a meaningful conversation. ❤️ 📖 Read the article here: https://www.christianitytoday.com/2026/09/debate-retire-like-a-christian/ See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.

Legacy Isn't Just About What You Leave Behind❤️ Most of us hope to pass something meaningful on to the people we love. Not just our possessions, but our values, wisdom, and the things that have shaped our lives. If that idea resonates with you, don't forget about our upcoming Purposeful Legacy event on September 22. We'll be exploring how to intentionally pass along the lessons, stories, and values that matter most to future generations. And if you'd like to continue the conversation, we also invite you to join us for Leaving a Thriving Legacy with Eric Bilger on October 7. While Purposeful Legacy focuses on the personal side of legacy, this virtual event will dive deeper into the planning considerations that help support those intentions, including estate planning, beneficiary designations, long-term care, charitable giving, and more. The October event is also a great option for our friends and family members who live farther away and may not be able to join us in person on September 22. 📅 Leaving a Thriving Legacy with Eric Bilger 💻 Virtual Event 🕛 October 7, 2026 | 12:00 PM ET Learn more and RSVP here: https://connect.thrivent.com/inspired-wealth-advisors/events/106933 We'd love to have you join us for one—or both—of these meaningful conversations about caring for the people and values that matter most.

544 Reasons to Be Grateful... and One Week Left to Help. One of the things we've learned over the years is that whenever we invite this community to do something good, you're quick to respond... and this time you've completely overwhelmed us with your generosity. Since our last update, donations have been pouring in, and we're excited to share that we've now collected 544 food items through our Better Together: Food Drive benefiting Christian Appalachian Project (CAP). What started as a few cans on an empty table has quickly become a challenge of finding enough room for everything. We're collecting shelf-stable, unexpired food items through September 22 for Christian Appalachian Project (CAP), and for every item donated, Thrivent and IWA together will donate $1 to CAP. There's now just one week left to participate before collections close. ✅ Bring a few items to your next meeting ✅ Stop by the office to say hello, enjoy a drink, chocolate, and good company ✅ Bring a few items to an upcoming IWA event Thank you to everyone who has participated so far. Your kindness, generosity, and willingness to care for others are what make this community so special. Let's fill the shelves and help care for our Appalachian neighbors
Join us at an upcoming eventWe’d love to have the opportunity to meet you. We host financial workshops, volunteer opportunities and Thrivent market updates.
