There’s something about summer reading: the slower pace, the extra daylight, and finding a story that stays with you.

This month, Connie is sharing two books that left a lasting impression: both thoughtful, meaningful, and worth coming back to. Read more and add one to your list: https://www.bensonfinancialgroup.com/bfgnews/june-2026 📚

When Benson Financial Group first began, it wasn’t really a “group” yet: just one advisor, one assistant, and a space that felt far too big.

Over time, through relationships, opportunities, and a growing sense of purpose, that space filled faster than anyone expected. As BFG entered its second decade, what once felt uncertain began to take shape, including a team grounded in shared values, faith, and service.

From early hires to key partnerships and moments where God’s provision showed up in unexpected ways, this chapter is a reminder that growth often happens slowly, relationally, and with intention.

Over the past year, Aaron Hill has been studying what it looks like to integrate faith and financial planning in a deeper way.

What started as a vision is quickly becoming reality! 🚧🧱

Our 5,000‑square‑foot expansion in Hannibal is taking shape in meaningful ways, from the structure itself to the details that are bringing it to life. As walls go up and the space becomes more defined, it’s beginning to feel less like a construction site and more like the place where future conversations and relationships will continue to grow. This season of building is especially meaningful as it coincides with BFG’s 30‑year milestone.

“We have been on schedule and with the drywall going up, we are seeing it just come to life,” Pat said. “We are planning for our move-in day—it’s getting exciting.” — Pat Benson

More than anything, the team is grateful for the people helping bring the project together, and for the clients who have patiently walked through the process along the way. Read more about our progress and changes here: https://www.bensonfinancialgroup.com/bfgnews/june-2026

There are moments that make you pause, and this was one of them.

Seeing a room filled with people who have been part of the BFG story over the years was a powerful reminder of what 30 years really represents: relationships, trust, and shared journeys along the way. We’re grateful for every person who has been part of it.

Today we’re celebrating Jen Kovar and wishing her a very happy birthday! 🎂 Jen brings so much heart, humor, and personality to our team, and her life outside the office is just as full! Here is what you should know about Jen:

💍 She’s celebrating 25 years of marriage with her husband, Andrew, this month!
👶 She’s about to become a Mimi for the first time this October, and we’re pretty sure that’s the title she’s most excited about these days.
🚗 While she might get carsick from time to time, when needed, she can drive like Jason Bourne, which we all find very reassuring.
🎶 And if there’s a song playing, there’s a good chance Jen knows every word…or at least her version of them.

Help us wish Jen a wonderful birthday and a year full of celebrations, laughter, and new memories!

We’re all online more than ever, either traveling, working remotely, juggling calendars from our phones, and that convenience comes with risks.

As summer approaches, identity fraud tends to increase, which is why this month we’re sharing a few simple, practical reminders to help protect what’s been entrusted to you. Sometimes the most meaningful steps don’t require big changes, just a little more awareness.

As we move through this season, this verse has been a quiet reminder for us. Growth doesn’t always happen quickly or loudly, sometimes it’s steady, unseen, and deeply rooted.

In our work and our lives, we’re grateful for the invitation to keep growing…in grace, wisdom, and trust.
