Faith Ventures welcomes Scott Maderer, founder of Inspired Stewardship, business coach, lay church leader, and host of the Inspired Stewardship Podcast — now over 1,800 episodes strong. Scott works with Christians in every walk of life to help them think more intentionally about how they steward their time, talent, and treasure, and how those three areas shape everything else: their relationships, their work, their finances, and their walk with God.Scott shares his journey from science degrees at Texas A&M to sixteen years in the classroom to a senior executive role in the corporate world — and the financial crisis in the middle of it all that brought him to the edge of suicide and back. He opens up about the $78,000 in debt that nearly destroyed his marriage, the Dave Ramsey broadcast that broke through at exactly the right moment, and the radical lifestyle change that paid off nearly $79,000 to the penny. He reflects on how that season reshaped everything he understands about stewardship — not as a financial concept, but as a whole-life framework for living in alignment with how God built you.The conversation then moves into Scott's coaching philosophy: the difference between what you can choose and what you can control, why so many Christians build the wrong life because they never asked the right questions first, and how to get quiet enough to actually hear God when you're facing a real decision — and then do something about what you hear.Whether you're buried in debt, burned out in a career that doesn't fit, or just trying to figure out how to align your work with the life God designed you to live, Scott's story and framework will give you both the permission and the tools to start.The Faith Ventures Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.
