Shifting to Eternal Kingdom Building with Cody Hobelmann, Financial Advisor

Cody Hobelmann is a financial planner at Northwestern Mutual whose early career was shaped by a strong desire to earn, save, invest, and build wealth. After studying economics at the University of Maryland and beginning his career in wealth management at Wilmington Trust, Cody understood the mechanics of managing money well. But as his faith deepened, he began asking a different question: What does faithful financial management look like when everything ultimately belongs to God?

Cody shares how committing to tithe moved generosity from a future aspiration into a present practice, and how that first step gradually challenged his assumptions about wealth, debt, career success, and the pursuit of more. He explores the shift from seeing money as something to accumulate toward seeing himself as a manager of resources entrusted by God, including the decision he and his wife, Steph, made to define a reasonable spending limit before their income increased.

By the end, you may find yourself thinking differently about what “enough” means and how intentional limits can create greater freedom for generosity, obedience, and impact.
