Kaci here again 🤍

This one feels especially fitting today because we just wrapped up Serve the City with my home church, Community Church Oshkosh. From Thursday through Sunday, people were out serving, helping, giving their time and simply showing up wherever there was a need.

And honestly, this is something I think our church and Pastor Karl Kramer do such a great job of leading in. Serving our community isn’t treated like a box to check or something we talk about once a year. There’s a real emphasis on getting outside the walls of the church, seeing needs and actually doing something about them.
That’s what generosity looks like to me.

It isn’t always writing a big check. Sometimes it’s giving up your Saturday. Getting your hands dirty. Bringing your kids along to serve. Using a skill you already have. Filling a need you noticed. Or getting a group of people together and saying, “Okay, how can we help?”

It’s also something I want my own kids growing up seeing. Serving others shouldn’t feel like some extraordinary thing we occasionally do. It should just be part of how we live.

And it ties so perfectly into what we’re talking about at Thrivent this month. Sometimes you already have resources available to help take that little “someone should really do something about this” idea and turn it into action.

After watching our church spend four days pouring into our community, my takeaway is pretty simple:

You don’t need to have a lot to make a difference. You just have to be willing to use what you have. 🤍

Here’s something we’ve been thinking about while planning our member event:

What would happen if every eligible Thrivent member in our area actually understood and used the member benefits available to them?

How many projects could get started?
How many organizations could get an extra hand?
How many fundraisers could become bigger?
How many people could be helped?
That’s why this month’s event isn’t just about explaining benefits.

We want people walking out thinking:
“Wait… I could actually use this to help ______.”

THAT is the fun part.

Have something you’ve been meaning to talk with Ryan about? Let’s get it on the calendar.

Our invite-only Thrivent member event is coming up, and we’re genuinely excited about this night! 🎉

Yes, there will be food.
Yes, there will be drinks.
Yes, there will be dessert. 🍰
And YES… ComedySportz Milwaukee will be there to make sure there’s a lot more laughing than you’d typically expect at a financial event. 😂

But beyond the fun, we’ll be talking about something we think is really important:

Are you actually using your Thrivent membership to its full potential?

We’ll share more about benefits like Thrivent Action Teams, Thrivent Choice Dollars®, and other opportunities available to members—and, more importantly, how those resources can help make an impact right here in our community.

Churches. Schools. Nonprofits. Families. Community projects.

Sometimes a great idea just needs a little help getting started. ❤️

If you received an invitation, check your mailbox and be sure to RSVP! We only have 50 spots, so space is limited.

Over the next two weeks, we’ll be reaching out to members who haven’t responded yet. We’d love to see you there!

Let’s eat, laugh, connect, and talk about how we can put membership to work in our community. 🙌

Kaci here again, and since yesterday we talked about real-life financial security, let’s talk about my other favorite planning strategy:

“I’ll get to it later.”

Currently living on my personal get to it later list:

Wash the curtains.
Clean the basement.
Go through all the kids’ clothes and move everything from outgrown → hand-me-down → actually need to buy.
Deep clean the kitchen.
Clean out the basement fridge AND freezer.
Start the next house renovation because apparently we enjoy living in chaos. 😂

The list goes on.

And you know what happens? The things that aren’t urgent keep getting pushed down the list because there’s always something louder that needs attention first.

Financial stuff can work exactly the same way.

Update beneficiaries… later.
Find that old retirement account… later.
Review life insurance… later.
Get the important documents together… later.
Actually sit down and figure out whether your plan still makes sense… later.

Until suddenly “later” has been three years.

So I’m not going to tell you to finish your entire financial to-do list today because clearly I still have curtains to wash. 😂

But pick one thing you’ve been saying you’ll get to and actually do it.

And if that one thing is “I really need to sit down with Ryan,” well… I can make that one pretty easy.

Apparently Ryan’s Facebook is slowly becoming mine this month. 😂 But when we started talking about what financial security actually means, I realized my answer has changed A LOT over the years.

For me, security isn’t some giant number sitting in a bank account.

It’s knowing our mortgage is paid. It’s having life insurance and trusts set up for our kids. It’s knowing where everything is and having a plan if life goes sideways. It’s being able to buy groceries without stressing over every item in the cart. It’s having room to handle the furnace breaking, the car needing repairs, or one of those lovely months where everything decides to break at once. 😂

It’s also having the freedom to make decisions based on what’s best for our family, not simply what brings in the next paycheck.

And I think that’s the part we sometimes miss.

Financial security looks different for every family.

Maybe yours is paying off debt. Maybe it’s finally having an emergency fund. Maybe it’s knowing your spouse and kids would be okay without your income. Maybe it’s retirement. Maybe it’s having enough margin that you can give generously when someone around you needs help.

You can’t really build toward “financial security” until you decide what secure actually looks like in your own real life.

So I’m curious… what would make YOU feel financially secure?

And if you know what you want but aren’t quite sure how to get there, that’s a pretty good conversation to have with Ryan.

Thrivent members, we have something special coming your way this month!

And this isn’t another sit-in-a-room-and-listen-to-someone-talk-at-you kind of night.

We’re planning food, drinks, dessert, plenty of conversation and ComedySportz Milwaukee, because learning about your membership benefits can absolutely include laughing and having a good time.

But there’s a bigger reason we’re putting this evening together.

We meet Thrivent members all the time who know they’re members… but don’t necessarily know everything that membership may offer or how some of those benefits can be used to help organizations and causes they already care about.

We want to change that.

This is an invite-only event for Thrivent members, so keep an eye on your REAL MAILBOX for invitations. We’re really excited about this one!

Okay, I (Kaci) took over Ryan’s Facebook for this one because today’s post about being prepared hits a little too close to home for me.

At our house, we have what I lovingly call our “OH SHOOT” folder. 😂

Basically, if something happened to me tomorrow, I don’t want my husband Trevor standing in the kitchen with three kids asking, “Okay… now what?”

So I took the time to put everything in one place.

Passwords. Account information. Important phone numbers. Who to call and for what. Insurance information. Where things are located. What accounts exist. The list goes on and on.

We have life insurance in place and trusts established for our children, but I took it even further because, if you know me, you know I’m painfully Type A. 😂

I’ve thought about the everyday stuff too.

Where do our groceries come from? What products do I normally buy? What accounts are they ordered through? Who could step in to help keep the house running?

I even have plans for grocery delivery, housekeeping and laundry services because, God forbid something happened to me, Trevor wouldn’t just be dealing with finances and paperwork. He’d be grieving while suddenly trying to manage all the little things I normally handle without anyone thinking twice about them.

The goal isn’t to be morbid. It’s to make an unimaginable situation a little less overwhelming for the people I love.

And while my level of preparation may be a tiny bit excessive 😂, the idea behind it isn’t.

Does your spouse know where everything is?
Do they know what accounts you have? Who to call? Where your life insurance information is? Who the beneficiaries are? What bills need to be paid? Where important documents are kept?

You don’t have to create the Kaci-level apocalypse binder this weekend. 😂 But maybe October is the month you finally start putting those pieces together.
And since I’ve officially hijacked Ryan’s Facebook… if this made you realize there are a few financial pieces of your own “oh shoot” plan that need attention, go talk to Ryan. That’s literally what he’s here for.

Sunday morning thought from us today. 🤍

We talk a lot about planning for our future. Our retirement. Our savings. Our house. Our kids. Our goals.

But sometimes it’s worth flipping that around and asking:
What am I doing with what I’ve already been given?

Our money is part of that, but so are our time, talents, connections and opportunities.
Maybe you’re in a season where you can give financially. Maybe you have more time than money and can show up to help. Maybe you have a skill that could serve someone else. Maybe you know the right people to bring together to make something happen.

You don’t have to wait until you have “more” to start making an impact.
And honestly, that idea fits perfectly with what we’re getting ready for later this month with our Thrivent member event. We want our members to realize there may already be resources available to them that can help turn an idea for their church, school, nonprofit or community into something real.

Sometimes the question isn’t “What else do I need?”
It’s “How can I be a good steward of what I already have?”

That feels like a pretty good question for a Sunday. 🤍

Here’s a weekend question that has very little to do with spreadsheets:

What do you hope your kids remember about you?

Maybe it’s Sunday mornings at church. Family dinners. Camping trips. Dad coaching their team. Mom always making birthdays special. Working hard. Giving generously. Helping neighbors. Showing up when someone needed you.

That’s legacy too.

Financial planning matters because money can help protect and support the people and things we care about. But money itself isn’t the legacy.

It’s what you were able to do with it.

So while we talk about financial legacy this month, we don’t want to lose sight of the part that actually matters: the people behind the plan.

No pressure. No need to have everything figured out first. Just a conversation about where you are, what’s changed, and where you want to go.

Quick myth we need to retire:

“Estate planning is for rich people.”

You don’t need a mansion, a yacht and millions of dollars tucked away somewhere to have things worth planning for.

Do you own a home?
Have retirement accounts?
Have life insurance?
Have children?
Own a business?
Have savings or investments?
Have sentimental things you care about?

More importantly, are there people you love who would be left trying to figure everything out if you weren’t here?

Planning ahead isn’t about how wealthy you are. It’s about creating clarity around what you have, who you love and what you want to happen.

And if you’ve been putting those conversations off because you think you’re “too young” or “don’t have enough yet,” October might be a good month to finally start talking about it.

Have something you’ve been meaning to talk with Ryan about? Let’s get it on the calendar.
