Understanding and Practicing Stewardship in Daily Life

In this episode of the Steward Lab Podcast, hosts James and Amberlee Rich dive into the concept of stewardship from a Biblical perspective. They discuss how stewardship encompasses managing time, money, relationships, health, careers, and even children as God's resources. Using Biblical references and personal anecdotes, they emphasize that everything we have is God's and we are merely surrogates for His resources. They highlight the importance of viewing our possessions and talents as tools for glorifying God and bettering His creation. The episode also touches on practical steps for improving stewardship in various areas of life and encourages listeners to start small and be intentional in their efforts.
