This St. Patrick’s Day, while you’re wearing green and searching for four-leaf clovers, take a moment to think about something even more valuable than a pot of gold—the legacy of faith and generosity you leave behind. Estate planning isn’t about luck—it’s about faithful stewardship. God has entrusted us with blessings not just for today, but to be used wisely for generations to come. You wouldn’t leave your treasures unguarded at the end of a rainbow, so why leave your loved ones and charitable giving to chance? At FPM, we’re here to help you plan with purpose, so your legacy is not built on luck, but on faith, generosity, and God’s eternal promises. ?? Let’s talk about how you can leave a Christ-centered legacy—no lucky charms required! #EstatePlanning #Stewardship #FaithfulLegacy #SaintPatricksDay

Because of God’s provision and the generosity of this incredible community, FPM has now helped over 53,000 families avoid probate and fund the Kingdom. At FPM, we believe that stewarding resources wisely is part of God’s plan, and through your support, families are learning to manage their finances, build a strong foundation, and walk confidently into the future God has for them. This milestone is more than just a number—it’s 53,000 families empowered to use their resources for His glory.

?? Avoid the Politics, Pass the Pie… and Talk Estate Planning! ?? We all know the drill: Thanksgiving dinner starts with grace and ends with someone bringing up politics. This year, why not steer the conversation in a smarter (and less awkward) direction? Try these estate planning zingers instead: ?? “Hey, did you know 67% of people don’t have a will? Looks like we’ll be arguing over more than just the turkey leftovers!” ?? "Without an estate plan, the government decides who gets your stuff. Do you think Uncle Sam knows how to use your air fryer?" ?? “Fun fact: You don’t have to be rich to have an estate plan. If you’ve got a Netflix password to pass on, it’s time to plan!” ?? “Planned giving isn’t just for billionaires—it’s how you leave a legacy! Like Aunt Carol’s famous casserole, but forever.” Skip the family drama and talk about something meaningful this Thanksgiving. Estate planning can bring peace of mind and ensure your values live on. #Thanksgiving #EstatePlanning #LegacyPlanning #PassThePie

May God bless our veterans and their families. #VeteransDay #ThankYouVeterans #HonoringHeroes
