Thrivent Financial Life Insurance Says

Thrivent offers four different kinds of life insurance: term life, whole life, universal life and variable universal life. Term life insurance offers only a death benefit and is usually less expensive than permanent life insurance. Whole life insurance is permanent. It gives the insured guaranteed death benefits, level premiums, and cash value that increases each year. Universal life insurance allows the insured to increase or decrease the death benefit and the premium. Cash value in a universal contract earns interest at a current rate. Variable universal life insurance offers a flexible premium and the potential to build cash value. However, death benefits and other values may vary, because the insured determines how the cash is invested. The investment performance has no guarantees and could lose money.
