What happens to a culture when its founder leaves the room?In Episode 6 of the Culture Matters Odyssey series, Jay Doran turns to Penelope who is the steward who holds Ithaca together through twenty years of Odysseus's absence.While Odysseus battles his way home, Penelope faces a different leadership challenge: preserving an institution whose legitimate leader is gone, whose successor isn't ready, and whose resources are being consumed by people seeking its power without accepting responsibility for its future.Through Penelope's relationship with Telemachus, the loom, the suitors, Antinous, and Odysseus's eventual return, this episode explores succession, stewardship, strategic patience, institutional memory, cultural codification, and the difference between inheriting authority and becoming worthy of exercising it.The episode develops a three-stage model of organizational continuity:Creation → Preservation → RenewalThe founder creates.The steward preserves.The successor must become worthy of renewal.Jay also examines why inheritance doesn't equal readiness, why culture must eventually move from implicit behaviors into explicit doctrine, why truth requires discernment, and why preservation itself can become dangerous when protecting the past prevents creation of the future.The episode concludes with a personal realization about Culture Matters and Jay's own role as founder:“I don't think it has relied too heavily on me. I don't think it has relied enough on me.”The challenge isn't simply to preserve what has already been built. It is to return to writing, speaking, publishing, advising, creating, and accepting the responsibility required for the organization's next season.Key ideas:Culture is what happens when the leader leaves the room.Inheritance does not equal readiness.Culture is not merely built; it is continually rewoven.Stewardship and entitlement are fundamentally different relationships to inheritance.Strategic patience can protect an institution from premature succession.Truthfulness does not require giving dangerous people information they intend to weaponize.Strong cultures eventually need their implicit beliefs and behaviors made explicit.The founder creates the culture; the steward keeps it alive; the successor must become worthy of inheriting it.Creation without preservation burns out; preservation without renewal calcifies.Eventually every leader must string the bow: history and status cannot substitute for present competence.

Wat als je bedrijf niet van aandeelhouders is, maar van zichzelf? Steward ownership heet dat. Bedrijven als de Efteling, Patagonia, Bosch en Carlsberg zijn al op deze manier georganiseerd en inmiddels zijn er ook steeds meer voorbeelden van mkb'ers die voor dit model kiezen.Deze aflevering in het kort:☑️ Hoe je zeggenschap en winst loskoppelt, zodat de missie van je bedrijf voor altijd geborgd is☑️ Toon Weijenborg verkocht zijn camping niet aan een grote keten, maar aan een stichting☑️ Kapitaal ophalen zonder stemrecht weg te gevenJe hebt jarenlang gebouwd aan je bedrijf en dan kloppen de kopers aan. Een grote keten of een investeringsfonds bijvoorbeeld. Maar wat gebeurt er daarna met je mensen, de klanten en je missie? Gijsbert Koren zag het als crowdfundingpionier keer op keer misgaan: goede bedoelingen die sneuvelden onder aandeelhoudersdruk. Dit ongemak werd de aanleiding voor We Are Stewards. Daarmee helpt hij ondernemers om zichzelf op een andere manier te organiseren.

God has given each one of us something valuable that we can faithfully use for Him. By Pastor Shawn Lyons.

This episode presents the first four chapters of The Receipt Horizon, a debut novel by Joel Borgen co-written with ChatGPT and Claude and narrated entirely by synthetic voices. Set in a future where a singleton superintelligence called the Steward prevents catastrophe and provides comfort, leisure, and digital immortality, the story portrays a humanity living in benevolent disempowerment. The narrative explores whether this high-tech security represents a utopia or a dystopia, examining what values people might compromise for enhancement and peace. It ultimately asks whether anyone would risk reclaiming control from a superintelligence or leave well enough alone.

United States v. Ricardo Steward

Something is coming, and I am not ready. That thought shows up at the gas pump, in the war headlines, and in the backseat question about whether robots are taking over. In this episode of The Thought Vault, I go straight into the rabbit hole I have been in for three years now. Oil, the Strait of Hormuz, recession forecasts that contradict each other, AI layoff numbers that say two opposite things at once, super intelligence, and whether my kids will even learn to drive.Then I take all of it to Scripture. Ecclesiastes says there is nothing new under the sun. Jesus, asked about the end of the world, opens with a warning about deception and a command not to be alarmed. And Joseph, handed seven years of warning, does not build a bunker.This is a Sanctified and Skeptical episode. Faith at the foundation. Curiosity about everything else.In this episode* What the data actually says about oil, gas, recession odds, and AI layoffs, and why the people paid to know do not agree* How economic numbers get weighted, and why two unemployment rates can both be “true”* Why the Luddites in 1811, Keynes in 1930, and an automation memo to the President in 1964 all sound like this morning* C.S. Lewis on living in an atomic age, and the line about frightened sheep* The two commands Jesus gives in one breath in Matthew 24* The Headline Test, three questions for any alarming story* Joseph in Genesis 41, and why preparation became generosity instead of a bunker* Three practical responses for a season you cannot predictTimestamps* 00:00 Something Is Coming* 00:43 Pharaoh's Troubling Dream* 01:34 Welcome to Thought Vault* 02:47 Bubble vs Bunker* 05:11 War, Oil, and Prices* 06:33 Recession Signals and Confusion* 08:03 AI, Jobs, and Data Fog* 11:03 Kids, College, and Driving* 14:23 Nothing New Under the Sun* 18:56 Jesus: Stay Alert, Don't Panic* 20:22 The Headline Test* 22:58 Joseph Stores for Famine* 24:57 Cast Bread, Keep Sowing* 26:43 Three Practical Responses* 28:35 Final Charge: Plant AnywayThe Headline TestThree questions to ask before an alarming headline gets into your nervous system:* What does this source want me to feel, and who benefits if I feel it?* If this is completely true, what would I actually do differently this week? If the answer is nothing, put it down.* What has God already said about this?Three practical responses* Test what you take in. Put a fence around the news. Pick a time, pick your sources, and stop letting the feed pick them for you.* Store in the good years. Time, energy, relationships, skills, money.

Episode Summary You don't have a time problem. You may have a tempo problem. In this episode of CROWNed Through Transition, Dr. Chonta Haynes challenges the idea that Christian discipline means doing more, pushing harder, and sacrificing yourself for your assignment. Instead, she explores what it means to practice self-care God's way through stewardship, rhythm, rest, and disciplined choices. Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and her book Praying Through Life's Struggles, Dr. Haynes reveals four moves for becoming a balanced woman without hustle, guilt, or burnout. You'll discover why your body is part of your assignment, why rest is not a reward, why small rhythms matter more than complicated routines, and how one faithful choice repeated consistently can begin to reinvent your life. Her message is simple: You cannot reimagine your future if what you're carrying is burned out. What You'll Learn Why discipline is stewardship rather than punishment How to steward your body as the vessel for your vision Why rhythm matters more than perfection How to build a simple 15-minute morning rhythm Why rest is a requirement, not a reward How to make one faithful choice at a time What burnout revealed to Dr. Haynes during her own transition How prayer can become the wall that supports discipline when willpower fails Podcast Timestamps 00:00 — Your Problem May Be Tempo, Not Time02:42 — Steward the Temple05:10 — Establish Your Rhythm08:28 — Welcome Rest11:07 — Anchor Discipline12:29 — Dr. Chonta's Crown Story14:49 — Your Tempo Challenge Books: https://chontahaynes.com/books https://chontahaynes.com/devotionals CROWNed by Design Collective: https://chontahaynes.com/collective Connect with Dr. Chonta Haynes Book a call https://chontahaynes.com/destiny YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ChontaHaynes Instagram: https://Instagram.com/ctahaynes LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/chonta-haynes Support the Mission Heart 2 Heart Truth Foundation Donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=UZG5B9KX59U4S

  You Don't Have to Heal Alone: Why Community Is Essential in a Destructive Relationship   Have you ever sat in a church pew, heard a message about forgiveness or submission, and walked away feeling more trapped than before — wondering if something was deeply wrong with you for still feeling unsafe? You are not alone, and this episode is for you.   Leslie sits down with Kelly Yazzie, our community manager in Conquer, for a raw and deeply honest conversation about why belonging to a safe, faith-based community is not a luxury for women in destructive relationships — it is a lifeline. Together they explore the scriptures that have been misused to keep women silent and stuck, how to hold onto a good God when the system fails you, and why real transformation only happens when information is met with courageous, supported practice. If you have been burned by community before, if you are questioning God's goodness in the middle of an unjust situation, or if you are simply exhausted from trying to figure this out alone, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.   Key Takeaways Misapplied Scripture Has Kept Too Many Women Stuck — and That Is Not God's Heart Verses about forgiveness, mercy, and love covering sin have been pulled out of context in ways that pressure women to protect their abusive husbands from consequences and silence their own experience. Kelly unpacks Ephesians 5:11 — "Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them" — alongside Matthew 3:8 and Proverbs 28 to show that God does not call us to prop up unrepentant sin. Untangling forgiveness from reconciliation, and learning to watch for fruit of genuine repentance rather than words alone, is one of the most liberating shifts a woman in a destructive relationship can make. As Kelly states plainly: an apology without change is only manipulation.   You Are the Steward of You — And That Is Not Selfishness, It Is Faithfulness One of the most important truths in this episode is that no pastor, elder, counselor, or husband holds authority over your own welfare. Drawing from the sobering story in First Kings 13 — where a man of God is sidetracked by the counsel of another who claimed to speak for God — Kelly and Leslie remind women that others do not live in your home, and they do not live with the results of their counsel. You are the expert of your own situation. Learning to hear God's voice directly, trusting your God-given intuition, and reclaiming ownership of your own life is not rebellion; it is spiritual maturity and faithfulness to the person God created you to be.   When God Doesn't Fix It: Separating the Facts from the Story When a protection order is denied despite evidence of abuse, when a custody battle is lost by a mother who did everything right, the anguish is real — and so is the temptation to write a story about what that means about God. Leslie and Kelly walk through the critical practice of distinguishing the facts of a situation from the story we tell ourselves about why it happened. Asking "why did God do this?" often leads us into the same trap as Job's friends — assigning blame and shame where neither belongs. The more life-giving question is: what do I need from this? Where can I grow? How is God meeting me here? God is light; there is no darkness in Him at all, even when circumstances are painfully dark.   Community Is Where Transformation Actually Happens Information alone — no matter how biblical, how wise, or how perfectly taught — does not produce transformation. It is the practice, the support, the application inside a safe relational space that changes a woman from the inside out. Kelly describes how women in Conquer learn to use their voice, try new boundaries, share their failures without shame, celebrate their wins without apology, and eventually turn around to support someone just a few steps behind them. Relational trauma is healed in relationship, and a community where your humanity is held with both truth and grace is not a nice addition to healing — it is central to it.   You Are Not Too Broken, Too Much, or Too Late For the woman who has been burned by a Christian community before — excluded, silenced, or judged — Kelly offers a direct and tender word: your voice is powerful, your boundaries are courageous, and your healing is worth fighting for. You are not simply a helpmate or a role to fill. You are, as Kelly grounds it in Scripture, an ezer kenegdo — a warrior partner made in the image of God. The Conquer community exists to be the kind of space where that truth becomes lived experience, not just information on a page.   If today's conversation stirred something in you — a longing to be truly known, a hunger for a community that holds both biblical truth and your real, hard story with equal care — we want to invite you into exactly that. Conquer is a Christ-centered membership community designed for women just like you: women who love God and are done trying to navigate destructive relationships alone. Inside, you will find a rich library of biblical, trauma-informed teaching, trained mentors who have walked this road themselves, and a community of women who genuinely get it. Join us at: https://leslievernick.com/membership Doors open twice a year, and you can join monthly to try it out. Come and see what is possible when information meets community and real transformation begins. Closing Encouragement Friend, if you have made it to the end of this episode, something in you is still reaching toward healing — and that matters. The road out of a destructive relationship, through grief, through spiritual confusion, through a broken system that does not always get it right, is one that no woman should have to walk alone. God has not looked away from your situation. Isaiah 59 promises He rises when justice is denied. He comes as both avenger and redeemer. And in the meantime, He has placed women around you — women who have been in the rubble and who know that beauty can grow there.   You are deeply loved. You are fully known. And the next step forward, however small it feels, is worth taking. We are here to walk it with you.

The Enlightened Family Business Podcast Ep. 169: The Decisions You Need to Make Before Succession Ever Begins   In this special Family Business Executive Forum episode of the Enlightened Family Business Podcast, host Chris Yonker and co-presenter Christy walk a live audience through a pre-succession readiness framework that most families never encounter until it's too late. Rather than treating succession as a single event — the transfer of power, ownership, or authority — Chris and Christy reframe it as a multi-year process that begins long before anyone is ready to step away. Using a seven-dimension readiness scorecard, they guide listeners through an honest self-assessment of where their family enterprise stands today: shared direction, family alignment, continuity, leadership bench, governance, roles and accountability, and ownership mindset. They explore why stewardship is a fundamentally different framework than ownership, why non-family employees can read family favoritism before leadership can, why what got you here won't get you there, and why the strongest succession plans are built before succession feels urgent. Packed with real client stories, practical warning signs, and five conversations every family should begin now, this is one of the most actionable episodes in the series.

What does it mean to live as a faithful steward? In this message, we discover that generosity is about far more than money—it's about faithfully managing everything God has entrusted to us. When we recognize that God is the Owner and we are the stewards, it changes how we view our resources, opportunities, relationships, and responsibilities. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@NewTribeChurch

Leadership is stewardship. In this episode of Church Leadership Podcast, John McGee shares a simple exercise he recently used with his team to evaluate what God has entrusted to them. It comes down to three questions:What could be excellent?What should be expanded?What needs to end?John shares why leaders can't settle for simply keeping things running, how listening to the people closest to the work can bring clarity, and why good stewardship requires leaders to turn ideas into action.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with drummer Pat Steward for a wide-ranging conversation about groove, feel, listening, and the experiences that shape a musician over a lifetime. Pat has spent decades behind the kit, including a long history with Bryan Adams, and I had the chance to see him perform in St. Louis shortly before we recorded this conversation. Watching him play reinforced something I have always admired about his drumming: there are no wasted notes. Everything serves the song, the singer, and the musicians around him.We talk about the current Bryan Adams tour and what allows a highly produced arena show to feel still spontaneous and alive. Pat explains his evolving relationship with playing to a click, the importance of supporting a singer, and why feel can be difficult to reduce to a technical formula. We also get into the band's current four-piece configuration, with Bryan handling much of the bass playing himself, and how that change has created a different rhythm-section dynamic.Pat takes me back to his beginnings as a young drummer, from hearing The Beatles and Creedence Clearwater Revival to learning songs by playing along with the radio and records. We talk about Bad Company, Linda Ronstadt, KISS, Rush, AC/DC, jazz education, school bands, and the value of learning to function in as many different musical situations as possible. That curiosity has never left him. Our conversation moves naturally through Tony Williams, Steve Gadd, Jim Keltner, Elvin Jones, Vinnie Colaiuta, David Garibaldi, Bill Stewart, and the drummers and records that continue to inspire him.We also spend a lot of time talking about recording: drum tuning, microphones, engineers, producers, and the difference between capturing music and overworking it. Pat shares stories about recording with Bob Rock, discusses the influence and meticulous approach of Mutt Lange, and makes a compelling case for trusting musicians, listening to the drum kit as a complete instrument, and recognizing when the best performance may already have happened in the first couple of takes.Ultimately, this is a conversation about experience. Pat and I talk about knowing when to use the pencil and when to use the eraser, how songs change after decades of performing them, and why great musicianship often comes down to listening carefully enough to understand what the music actually needs.Key TakeawaysPat approaches drumming by putting groove, feel, and the singer first, with every part designed to support the song rather than draw unnecessary attention to the drums.Playing with a click became less about restricting feel and more about creating a dependable framework in which Pat can still push, pull, and shape the music.The current Bryan Adams band has developed a different rhythmic identity with Bryan playing bass on portions of the show and keyboardist Gary Breit covering other bass parts.Pat's musical vocabulary grew from playing along with radio and records, studying everything from Bad Company, AC/DC, KISS, and Rush to bebop, jazz ensembles, and big-band music.His early experiences in rock bands, concert bands, stage bands, and jazz education taught him to adapt his playing to the music around him rather than force a single approach on every situation.Pat sees live performance and studio recording as related but distinct disciplines: live music benefits from energy and spontaneity, while recording often demands patience, restraint, and attention to the larger sonic picture.Decades of experience have reinforced the importance of trusting musicians, preserving the energy of early takes, and knowing when additional notes—or additional production—actually help the music.Music from the EpisodeCuts Like a Knife - Bryan AdamsTruth Untold - OddsI Thought I'd Seen Everything - Bryan AdamsInto the Mystic - Colin JamesAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a music interview podcast hosted by Brad Williams, featuring thoughtful conversations with musicians, songwriters, producers, engineers, and other creative people.

Cher shares a personal, faith-centered reflection on stewardship as a daily calling, with a focus on the home, family, and the ordinary things that shape a life. The episode argues that order matters more than hustle or cultural pressure, and that what God has placed in your hands should be managed with intention and joy. In this episode, Cher explains why she sees home management as a spiritual responsibility, how culture can distort priorities, and why keeping the main things first brings peace instead of chaos. Key topics Cher defines stewardship as a day-to-day calling, not a one-time achievement or a pursuit of perfection. She frames home as a real domain of stewardship, alongside roles like wife, mother, homeschooler, creator, and friend. Cher emphasizes that God is a God of order, and that chaos in one area often spills into other areas of life. She shares how becoming a wife and mother shifted her priorities and required her to rethink what belongs at the center of her life. Cher pushes back on cultural messaging that tells women to despise home life or place identity, hustle, or self-expression above family responsibilities. She uses nutrition as an analogy, comparing whole, ordered choices to “quick” options that create hidden burdens. Cher warns that discontentment grows when we focus on what we think we lost instead of what God has actually given us. She points to Proverbs 14:1 as a key scriptural lens: a wise woman builds her home, while folly tears it down. Cher says building a business, platform, or personal brand cannot come at the expense of marriage, parenting, or the care of the home. She closes with encouragement to obey what God has given each person to manage, trusting that peace follows obedience.

What if some of the greatest things God has given you remain underused simply because you haven't fully understood what is already yours?In “Urgent Prayers For The Church | How To Steward Your Divine Inheritance,” we finish Ephesians 1 by looking at the prayers Paul considered essential for the Church. After spending the first half of the chapter revealing the overwhelming inheritance we have received as children of God, Paul doesn't simply give believers more information—he prays that what they know would become something they actually understand, experience, and live from.And it begins with prayer.Paul's first response to a church growing in faith wasn't simply to teach them more, but to continually bring them before God. His prayers reveal what every believer needs: to know God more intimately, to live anchored in a confident hope, to understand how deeply God values His people, and to recognize the incredible greatness of His power available to those who believe.In this sermon, you'll discover:Why prayer is one of the most powerful ways we can love and serve one anotherThe difference between knowing more about God and actually growing in your knowledge of HimWhy biblical hope isn't wishful thinking, but an anchor that remains secure when circumstances changeWhat it means to realize that you aren't only someone who receives an inheritance from God—you are His treasured inheritanceHow the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to accomplish God's will through His peoplePaul's prayer wasn't that the Church would become more impressive, self-sufficient, or powerful on its own. He prayed that our eyes would be opened to a reality that is already true. There is more of God to know. There is a hope strong enough to hold you when life feels uncertain. You are deeply treasured by the Father. And there is a power available to you that was never meant to draw attention to you, but to accomplish His will and bring Him glory.The question isn't simply whether you've received an inheritance from God.Are you learning to live from it, share it with others, and steward it for His glory?

A faithful steward is a person who manages another person's property, money, or resources with care, honesty, and trust. In a spiritual sense, it means using your life, time, and money to honor God, who owns everything.Support the showhttp://www.gwafgbc.org http://www.gwafgbc.org/storehttp://www.gwafgbc.org/givehttps://vimeo.com/manage/videos

What does it really mean to lead? Dr. Killeen reflects on a powerful perspective from LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault, who views leadership not as owning success, but as caring for something that will outlast him. It's a mindset that challenges leaders to think less about personal achievement and more about leaving people, systems, and organizations stronger than they found them. He explores the difference between building a legacy of privilege and preserving a legacy of craftsmanship. Whether you're mentoring an associate, developing your team, or shaping your practice culture, true leadership is about passing on your knowledge and raising up the next generation. The greatest measure of success is not what you keep, but what you leave behind.

What happens when the drive that has helped you accomplish so much becomes the very thing that exhausts you? For many high-achieving women, achievement has been rewarded for most of their lives. Get the grade. Earn the promotion. Reach the goal. Build the business. Keep moving forward. But over time, it can become easy to confuse what we accomplish with who we are. In this episode of the Moving Forward Podcast, 4word President & CEO Melissa Harrison talks with bestselling author, artist, and entrepreneur Ruth Chou Simons about how to pursue meaningful work and God-given dreams without allowing striving, perfectionism, or achievement to define us. Ruth is the founder of GraceLaced and the author of several books, including When Strivings Cease, Now and Not Yet, and her newest book, This Moment Matters: 100 Ways to Cultivate a Grace-Laced Life. Drawing from nearly two decades of writing, creating, building a business, raising six sons, and serving alongside her husband in ministry, Ruth reflects on why the seemingly ordinary moments of our lives matter more than we often realize. The conversation explores the tension between healthy ambition and striving. Ruth shares why metrics, milestones, and goals can be useful without becoming measures of our worth—and why our identity has to be grounded in Christ before we pursue the things the world may use to validate us. Ruth also talks about learning to stay present instead of constantly living for the next milestone. She shares practical rhythms that help her remain grounded in busy seasons and explains why gratitude can help shift our attention from everything we have not yet achieved to what God has already done. The conversation also traces the unexpected beginnings of GraceLaced. What eventually became a thriving creative business began during nap time, when Ruth pulled out watercolors while her young sons read nearby. She practiced her craft, shared what she was creating, gave her work away, and faithfully stewarded opportunities long before she knew where they would lead. Ruth also reflects on visibility in an age of social media and why the most meaningful parts of our lives need to be lived before they become content. For Ruth, creative work has to flow from a real life that is being experienced, not from the pressure to constantly produce. And in the final part of the conversation, Ruth speaks directly to the woman who wants to grow, lead, create, and move forward but is tired of feeling as though everything depends on her. Her encouragement is simple: stop trying to carry the entire journey at once. Look at what God has already placed in your hands, choose one small thing, and faithfully begin there.   In this episode, we get into: Your identity is not your achievement. Your worth was never meant to rise and fall with what you accomplish. Moving forward doesn't have to mean striving. Pursue what's next without letting exhaustion or perfectionism lead. Start with one small, faithful step. Steward what God has given you today instead of being overwhelmed by the whole path.   You'll also hear about: Why our "someday" is made up of thousands of ordinary moments Learning to enjoy the journey instead of constantly waiting for the next milestone The difference between healthy ambition and striving in your own strength How to recognize when a good desire has become too important Separating your identity from promotions, metrics, income, and visible success Why gratitude can help quiet the pressure to reach the next level Creating sustainable rhythms during busy seasons How GraceLaced began during nap time with watercolors and a blog Learning to welcome the limitations God allows Why meaningful "soul work" needs to be lived before it is shared Practicing visibility without allowing an audience to become your validation Starting with what God has already placed in your hands Ruth's upcoming appearance at the BOLDLY Conference in Dallas    About Ruth Chou Simons Ruth Chou Simons is a bestselling author, artist, entrepreneur, and founder of GraceLaced, where she creates books, artwork, and resources designed to help people look to Jesus and find God's grace in everyday life. What began nearly two decades ago as a personal blog called GraceLaced grew out of Ruth's desire to practice writing, create art, and pay attention to the ways God's grace was woven through ordinary life. Over the years, that small beginning developed into a creative business and ministry reaching readers around the world. Ruth is also the mother of six sons and has built GraceLaced alongside a full life of family, ministry, creativity, and entrepreneurship. Her books include When Strivings Cease, Now and Not Yet, and her newest release, This Moment Matters: 100 Ways to Cultivate a Grace-Laced Life. In October, Ruth will join 4word in Dallas as a keynote speaker at the BOLDLY Conference.

"We steward our lives by staying close to the shepherd who knows how to feed and care for his sheep."   What if the way we've been taught to "steward" our bodies is actually keeping us more focused on our bodies than free in them? In this teaching, Alisa Keeton invites us to take a deeper look at stewardship, and what Scripture actually says about stewarding our bodies. If you've ever felt like you should be doing more, eating better, exercising differently, or getting your body 'right' this conversation is for you.   Alisa walks through a body dissatisfaction scale and explores how easily Christian wellness language can become another way of watching, comparing, and trying to control our bodies. Instead, she offers a different picture: Bodies need shepherding more than stewarding.   Jesus is the Good Shepherd. He knows how to lead, restore, and care for us. Our invitation is to stay close to the One who knows how to care for our whole selves. In this teaching, you'll explore: What body dissatisfaction really is how to identify it in ourselves How body stewardship can unintentionally become another form of control Why bodies are meant to be lived in, not watched The connection between soul hunger and body dissatisfaction What Scripture actually says about stewardship What it looks like to seek Jesus first in a noisy, hyper-visual wellness culture Why we may need a Shepherd, not another set of rules   Watch this teaching on Youtube: https://youtu.be/If8NlxBuKVU   Practice & Reflection The next time you notice yourself watching, measuring, comparing, or criticizing your body, pause and ask: Am I living in my body, or am I watching my body? Then take a breath and turn your attention toward the Good Shepherd. What would change if I trusted the Good Shepherd to care for me instead of believing I have to control myself?   Teaching Scriptures: John 10:10 — Life to the full Romans 12:1 — Offering our bodies to God 1 Corinthians 10 — Honoring God with our bodies 1 Corinthians 4:1–2 — Stewarding the mysteries of God 1 Peter 4:10 — Stewarding God's gifts Matthew 25:14–30 — The parable of the talents 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 — Our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit Mark 6:34 — Jesus' compassion for people like sheep without a shepherd 1 Peter 2:24–25 — Jesus as Shepherd and Overseer of our souls Psalm 23 — The Lord as our Shepherd   Mentioned in this Teaching Download the Body Dissatisfaction Scale: https://www.revelationwellness.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/body-dissatisfaction-scale.jpg Why Do I Hate My Body Webinar.

This first episode in the Biblical Stewardship of Your Health series is for the Christian woman living with high-functioning fatigue who is ready for real answers.
