Certified Personal Financial Wellness Consultant
Financial Coaching & Counseling Professional Dedicated to Helping You Work Toward Your Financial Goals
Personal Notes
I am filled with excitement as I think about you breaking free from financial bondage. I know from experience how that feels, although I would imagine the circumstances that got us there are different. In any case, it is a good decision to take control of your finances because many times they keep us from reaching our goals. We want our money to work for us, and bring to us a life that is free from worry, and undue stress. Debt sounds like a good idea and is very easy to get into, but quite hard to get out of. Remember that I said “hard” but not impossible. You can, as I did; break free from someone else deciding how your money will be spent. I want to see you in the driver’s seat, and I can help you get there.
Bio
Peola C. Hicks, CPFWC, MBA, D.Min
Founder and CEO
Peola is the founder of The Rock Financial Wellness Center, which is an extension of Firm Foundation Ministries, Inc., founded many years ago; promoting biblical education and coaching to help people move forward toward their purpose in life. One of her areas of expertise is in Money Management, which has become her primary focus to help people gain greater financial freedom. During her ministry studies, she developed a Financial Literacy model combining faith and personal money management as her Doctor of Ministry Project entitled “Blow the Trumpet in Zion: Sound an Alarm” A Community-Based Ministry for Financial Literacy. This was a three-year work that emphasized a biblical understanding of God’s economy, and our responsibility to end all forms of entrapments in our relationships, especially in the area of our finances.
Debt is one form of entrapment that we want to avoid, because it establishes a stronghold over our lives, (Proverbs 22:7).
Through the Community-Based Ministry for Financial Literacy, many people experienced changed lives. Her coaching and education empowered them to become faithful managers of the resources that God had entrusted to them. Now, this service is made available through her coaching practice – The Rock Financial Wellness Center (www.myfirmrock.com). This is especially helpful for married couples who never discuss money before marriage and find themselves struggling with money, which leads to arguments and division in the home. Furthermore, Dr. Hicks is passionate about helping people who hear about giving in church or to charitable organizations, but lack the discipline to balance what they have left…this also includes pastors and anyone who could benefit from her help. People of all ages who have a desire to change their relationship with money are great candidates for success.. Coming out of a pastoral as well as a corporate background, she is well equipped to lead and help others. Peola believes that faithfulness to God should include all areas of our lives, including our finances.
