Biblical Wisdom For Life After Work

Robert Laura is a pioneer in the spiritual planning and psychology of retirement.  He is a four-time best-selling author, nationally syndicated columnist, and recognized presenter at retirement conferences across the country.  His work has reached millions with over 800 retirement articles and seven books including Retirement Roots and The Retirement Devotional. In addition to his own writings, he frequently appears in major business media outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, CNBC, MarketWatch, New York Times, and more.

As a former social worker turned money manager and author, he has found that retirement is among the most fascinating, yet least understood, phases of life… particularly from a Biblical perspective. As a result, he educates individuals, couples, groups, organizations and leaders on the need to develop a comprehensive retirement plan that puts God first, rather than money. In other words, to focus on Salvation, rather than savings.

He has a garnered a unique look at wealth and retirement by not only working closely with his own clients for the last twenty years, but also by interviewing numerous celebrities, entertainers, and athletes including Pastor Rick Warren, Deion Sanders, John Sally, Gymnast Shannon Miller, Golfer Annika Sorenstam, Singer Amy Grant, HGTV’s the Property Brothers, Pawn Star Rick Harrison, Cheech & Chong, Impersonator Rich Little and more.

Robert is also the founder of the Wealth & Wellness Group and the RetirementProject.org. He holds several designations including Certified Kingdom Advisor, Accredited Asset Management Specialist, Certified Mutual Fund Counselor, Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor, and Certified Professional Retirement Coach.

He also serves as an expert witness and consultant to attorneys. He has provided courtroom testimony and litigation support on matters related to investment techniques, strategies, and risks, as well as account types, asset valuations, and hidden or undocumented assets and transfers.
