About Bob Palmer

I am proud to serve as a Thrivent financial professional. This role grew naturally out of my first calling in pastoral ministry. For more than 15 years, I served as a full-time church minister, walking alongside individuals and families through seasons of growth, challenge, celebration, and change. That time shaped who I am and how I approach my work today.

While my title has changed from "Minister" to "Financial Advisor," my purpose has not changed at all. I am still focused on helping people experience a better way of living. Guided by faith-based principles, I now help individuals and families pursue that better way through thoughtful financial guidance, wise stewardship, and intentional generosity. I believe finances are deeply personal, and meaningful progress starts with trust, listening, and strong relationships.

Community matters deeply to me. I'm grateful for the people and place that helped raise me and I am passionate about pouring back into the community that is helping raise my family. I see my work as a way to give back, by being a steady resource, a sounding board, and a partner for those navigating important financial decisions. It is incredibly fulfilling to watch my clients reach their goals while also creating a positive impact for their families and communities.
