What's in a Name: the Meaning of "Leb Financial"

Some names are chosen for branding. Others are chosen for meaning. Leb Financial is both.

This name carries with it not only a deeply personal history, but also a rich biblical foundation that points to the very heart of what we do.


 

A Nickname That Became Something More

My dad told me that before he had any kids, he already knew he wanted to name his sons after the men from his favorite Bible story. Joshua and Caleb were the two faithful spies who scouted the Promised Land for the Israelites, brought back the good report, and believed God would give them victory (see Numbers 13-14:30).

So my brother is Joshua, and I am Caleb. Ever since I was a kid, Dad has called me “Leb” for short. (I can still hear his voice calling me by that name.) And while Dad taught me all about my namesake, it was years before I discovered another layer of meaning in that little nickname.

 

What “Leb” Means in Hebrew

Years later, having experienced what it feels like when God changes a man's heart (see Ezekiel 36:25-27), I was struck to discover that even my nickname is rich in deep meaning.

I found this commentary in my NLT Study Bible (Tyndale, 2008).
See Strong's H3820 for even more details about the Hebrew word לֵב transliterated as "leb".

 

A Mission Focused on the Heart

At Leb Financial, our mission statement is clear:

Leb Financial exists to lead men and women by demonstrating and teaching biblically-based money management that inspires confidence and draws them closer to God.

Money isn't merely a math problem. And my goal isn't merely to help people manage money.

Paul the Apostle worked as a tentmaker while he taught people about Christ (see Acts 18:1-4), and in the same way, I use conversations about money as an opportunity to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, the ultimate source of peace who frees us from our debts so that we can live for Him.

 

A Vision for the Future

A vision statement describes the logically expected outcome of successfully fulfilling a mission statement consistently over a prolonged period of time. (see What Is A Vision Statement)

The vision of Leb Financial is to build a community of people striving to live a disciplined life characterized by healthy relationships, generational wealth, and a growing dependence on God.
