The Divine operates through the imagination - helping us lean into the dream of a world where justice prevails.
Rev. Rayce J. Lamb, Founder of Faithonomics
Our History
2019
The idea behind Faithonomics was sparked through our Founder's participation in the ECFFM Initiative while serving as the Director of Ministry and Vocational Exploration at Wake Forest University School of Divinity. Concerned about the lack of formal financial education in theological education, Rayce became a Certified Financial Education Instructor and began offering financial education opportunities to Wake Forest students and alumni.
2020
Following a desire to expand his reach, Rayce applied and was accepted into the Do Good X startup accelerator with the idea of developing a financial education app that was tailored to the unique vocational realities of faith leaders. Although accepted, COVID delayed Rayce's participation in the program by a year. Rayce spent much of 2020 clarifying his vision and landed on the name Faithonomics.
2021
Faithonomics was officially incorporated in the state of North Carolina in March of 2021. In addition to completing the Do Good X fellowship, Faithonomics was contracted to provide financial education to participants in Wake Forest University School of Divinity Thriving In Ministry program.
2022
With any new venture, taking time to test your product is important. In 2022, Faithonomics tested the beta version of its platform called Faithonomics[+] and continued to gather feedback from faith leaders. Two years into COVID and the financial and vocational realities were rapidly changing. At the end of 2022, it became clear we needed to reimagine our design for the greatest impact.
2023
We learned a lot in 2022. As a result, 2023 became our year to reimagine. We began the process of redesigning Faithonomics[+] into what would become The Doers Creative and announced the addition of a Startup Studio to our portfolio. In November 2023, we also launched The Faithonomics Podcast which quickly became a fan favorite in the Faith Podcast category.
2024
Let's press go shall we? 2024 promised to be a full year and a full year it has been. We launched our Doers Creative in April and Rayce Lamb was named an innoFaither by innoFaith. In May, we began working with the Board of Pensions of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. to provide financial education to their CREDO conferences and Rayce was named an Invested Faith fellow.
