Brian Holtz, CEO of Compass, spent his early years without clear intentionality for his finances. But when the recession hit in 2008, Brian found himself in a moment of crisis that forced him to depend fully on God. That season led him to dive into Scripture in search of financial wisdom. What he found not only transformed his family’s financial life but set him on a course to help others do the same.
Now, as the leader of Compass—an international ministry focused on equipping people to handle money God’s way—Brian helps thousands of individuals and families embrace biblical financial principles. Through small group studies, resources, and one-on-one discipleship, Compass empowers givers to live in financial freedom and generosity, rooted in God’s truth.
Brian brings a wealth of practical insight for listeners at every stage of their giving journey. From inviting God to write your budget to teaching your kids about money, Brian’s message is deeply rooted in Scripture and rich with wisdom.
