Which
money story
are you living?

Every one of us is living out a money story we didn’t pick on purpose. The story can change.

Find your money story

Purpose Path helps young adults build a faith-first relationship with money, through a book, a course, and tools you can use on your own or with your church, school, or group.

About

Faith first. People over hype.

I’m Kyle Blackwell.

I’m a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, and I’ve spent 18+ years helping people make money decisions with clarity.

I built Purpose Path because most young adults aren’t careless. They’re overwhelmed and unstructured.

Most money advice is information. Purpose Path is formation. Who you are with money shapes what you do with it.

Purpose Path is the system I wish existed when I was younger.

Simple steps. God-centered. Built for real life.

Kyle Blackwell, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER professional
