Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Servants & Stewards series on Joseph.Even when life unravels through betrayal, false accusation, and hardship, God's providence is at work — positioning Joseph (and us) exactly where He wants him. God is always with Joseph (and us), even in the darkest prison, and his integrity under temptation becomes the proving ground for future influence.Through Joseph's faithfulness in the small things, we learn that every trial prepared him (and us) for a greater purpose. God's hand is sovereign, His presence constant, and His plan always good.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on October 5, 2025, at 9:30am.

A new MP3 sermon from Truth For Life - Alistair Begg is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Sept. 29, 2025: Stewards of God’s Varied Grace Subtitle: Messages from Truth For Life Speaker: Alistair Begg Broadcaster: Truth For Life - Alistair Begg Event: Radio Broadcast Date: 9/29/2025 Length: 40 min.

In the fourth chapter of his first epistle, in light of all that he'd written up to that point, Peter continued to unpack how the reality of Christ's sacrifice should shape the day-to-day of the Christian life. Living under the shadow of the cross, Alistair Begg explains, means thinking properly, living differently, and being prepared to face abuse, even as we keep our eyes fixed on the end and endure the path of suffering laid before us. Bible passages: 1 Peter 4:1-19

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Servants & Stewards series on Joseph.In Genesis 37, Joseph is betrayed by those who should have loved him the most. In this passage, we confront the pain of absent fathers, the poison of envy, and the cultural fractures that mirror our own families. Yet amid the injustice and loss, we discover a God who steps into our brokenness — a Father to the fatherless and the only firm foundation when everything else gives way.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on September 28, 2025, at 9:30am.

#818 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/818 Presented By: Waters West In today's episode of In the Bucket podcast, we're joined by Trevor Covich and Ed Fuhrken of Waters West Fly Fishing Outfitters. Both are long-time stewards of Pacific Northwest steelhead, guiding anglers while battling issues like habitat loss, hatchery impacts, and river access. They talk about what it's like behind the fly shop counter: the tension between preserving wild runs and serving a growing demand for steelhead experiences. You'll hear stories about closures, managing stock versus wild fish, and how trout tactics don't always translate to steelhead crisis zones. Trevor and Ed also reveal the subtle art of timing your swings, staying wet when it counts, and treating every steelhead encounter like it matters—not just for you, but for the rivers downstream. Along the way, you'll pick up practical advice: what fly anglers can do to reduce mortality, how to engage with managers and neighbors about river health, and why education and access matter just as much as gear. If you care about fish, fair futures for rivers, and how fly fishing can be part of the solution, this episode lands hard and hopeful. #818 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/818  

Preparing Stewards of the Mysteries of God

Twenty Fifth Sunday in Ordinary TimeHaving taken to prayer many of the recent incidents of violence in our country, it is painful to see how we as a country do not see one another. Rather, we see political sides, division, and contempt. Though there is much strife, we are never too far gone. Proof of this is found in our Gospel today regarding the unjust steward. May all the Souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.Scripture Readings for September 21, 2025Amos 8:4-7Psalm 113:1-2, 4-81 Timothy 2:1-8Luke 16:1-13

Worship Director Justin Jackson continues our Servants & Stewards series, as we begin to look at the life of Joseph.Has life ever taken you a completely different direction than where you intended to go? At times like that, it's difficult to see what God is up to. But Joseph's story is a powerful reminder that God is at work even when we can't see the whole picture. And even in the messy details of life, God is speaking to us, if we are willing to listen.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on September 21, 2025, at 9:30am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Servants & Stewards - Vision & Mission series.In a moment when our culture is fractured, politics are polarized, and comfort tempts us to live as if we don't need God, we're called back to our true identity: servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Drawing from Paul's words to the Corinthians, we're reminded that following Jesus isn't about grasping for power or influence — it's about picking up the oar, going low, and living faithfully in that tension. Let's embrace lives that may look like "the scum of the world" to others, yet carry eternal weight as we boldly, humbly, and sacrificially share the hope of the gospel — whatever it takes.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on September 14, 2025, at 9:30am.

In this conversation, Christina Semmens reflects on the recent canonization of Saints Carlos Acutis and Piers Giorgio Frassati, emphasizing their exemplary lives of holiness and stewardship. She discusses the importance of living a meaningful life, focusing on God's calling rather than worldly success. The conversation highlights the essence of true stewardship, which involves giving selflessly and co-creating with God to build the heavenly kingdom. Semmens encourages listeners to learn from the saints and become witnesses of greatness in their own lives.TakeawaysSaint Carlos Acutis and Piers Giorgio Frassati exemplified holiness and stewardship.The process of canonization involves verifying miracles and a life of holiness.Stewardship means using our gifts and talents for God's glory.We should focus on what God is calling us to do, not worldly success.True stewardship involves giving without expecting anything in return.Co-creating with God helps build the heavenly kingdom on earth.God's gifts are abundant and available to everyone.We often perceive life through a lens of scarcity rather than abundance.Living a meaningful life requires us to serve others selflessly.We can learn from the saints to become witnesses of greatness.Sound Bites"We can't waste our lives.""We are called to co-create alongside God.""God's gifts are available to everyone."Chapters00:00 Celebrating New Saints: Carlos Acutus and Piers Giorgio Frassati04:44 Stewardship of Holiness: Living a Meaningful Life12:03 The Call to Serve: Following God's Will19:08 Co-Creating with God: Building the Heavenly Kingdom25:46 Witnesses of Greatness: Learning from the SaintsMay this podcast help inspire, encourage and accompany you in doing WHATEVER IT TAKES so that you may continue to grow in holiness as we tell the Master of Death, “Not Today!”

Earth Day is in the rearview mirror for 2025, but its beginnings and reason for being are lodged firmly in a secular worldview of how the world began. Not that it's a bad thing to protect the environment. In fact, God calls us to be good stewards of His creation. But today, the majority of public schools and institutions of higher learning teach the theory of evolution as fact.  But is it? Today,  many scientists are finding holes in Darwin's "Origins of the Species". At Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Florida, they've partnered with Creation Studies Institute to quote:  "Make the biblical and scientific case for creation."  It's easy to reject the biblical account of creation. After all, science has proven the speed of light is a constant that has helped them peer deep into space and into ancient history, thus surmising the universe is billions of years old. How does that square with the Bible's account of the world being created in seven days?  Dr. Robert Pacienza,  CEO of Coral Ridge Ministries, who is in charge of this new partnership, talks about how to pair the Bible's account of creation and science.  The bold move is turning around the meaning of Earth Day, saying, "It's an opportunity for people who belong to God to celebrate that God created the heavens and the earth. And as we read in Genesis 1, God looked at what he had created, and He called it good." What's important to understand is that this is not an opportunity to ignore scientific facts. It's the courage to interpret them differently. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What if the greatest gift you leave your children isn't your money, but your wisdom?As stewards, we often focus on managing God's resources well during our lifetime—but what happens after we're gone? How do we equip the next generation to carry on a legacy of faithful stewardship? Today, Sharon Epps joins us to talk about that.Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.Recognizing God's Design in Our ChildrenAt FaithFi, we frequently emphasize the importance of being faithful stewards of what God has entrusted to us. But there's a deeper question to consider: What about the next steward?Proverbs 13:22 tells us, “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children.” While an inheritance can be a blessing, without preparation, it can also lead to conflict. That's why we need to think carefully not just about passing on wealth, but also about passing on wisdom.One of the earliest ways to prepare the next steward is to recognize and nurture a child's God-given giftedness. God created us to work, and part of stewardship is discovering how He's uniquely wired us.Each child's journey is unique, and our role as parents is to walk alongside them, offer opportunities, and pray that God will reveal their strengths.Giving Hands-On Money Management OpportunitiesEvery parent knows how painful it is to watch their children make poor choices—especially when it comes to money. But it's so vital that we allow our kids to experience the natural consequences of their decisions.Wisdom grows when kids practice responsibility with real resources. That's why it's a good goal to aim for our children to manage a full spending plan before leaving home, whether that's for college or to move out on their own. Starting with a simple envelope system—give, save, and spend—you can gradually add more categories as the kids grow. By the time they become young adults, they will have managed nearly all of their expenses except housing and insurance. This hands-on approach will ensure that by the time they launch into independence, they will not be starting from scratch.Starting Late? Don't Lose HeartIf you feel behind in teaching your kids about stewardship, give yourself grace. None of us does this perfectly.Start with small steps—a dinner conversation about your own money journey, or letting your child help plan a family purchase. What matters is being intentional and inviting the Lord to guide the process.Preparing the next steward is not a one-time event—it's a journey. Begin with prayer, asking God for wisdom, and do not hesitate to seek help from trusted friends, mentors, or financial professionals.And remember: more is caught than taught. Our children are learning as much from how we live as from what we say. By modeling faithful stewardship in our own lives, we give them the greatest inheritance of all: a life that reflects God's wisdom and trust in His provision.If you're looking for support in preparing your children to be wise stewards, consider working with a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)—someone who shares your values and can guide you on the journey.

This episode, which is co-hosted with Delaney Chieyen Holton, features Dr. K. Ian Shin discussing his recently published book, Imperial Stewards: Chinese Art and the Making of America's Pacific Century (Standford UP, 2025). Imperial Stewards argues that, beyond aesthetic taste and economics, geopolitics were critical to the United States' transformation into possessing some of the world's largest and most sophisticated collections of Chinese art between the Gilded Age and World War II. Collecting and studying Chinese art and antiquities honed Americans' belief that they should dominate Asia and the Pacific Ocean through the ideology of imperial stewardship—a view that encompassed both genuine curiosity and care for Chinese art, and the enduring structures of domination and othering that underpinned the burgeoning transpacific art market. Tracing networks across both the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans, K. Ian Shin uncovers a diverse cast of historical actors that both contributed to US imperial stewardship and also challenged it, including Protestant missionaries, German diplomats, Chinese-Hawaiian merchants, and Chinese overseas students, among others. By examining the development of Chinese art collecting and scholarship in the United States around the turn of the twentieth century, Imperial Stewards reveals both the cultural impetus behind Americans' long-standing aspirations for a Pacific Century and a way to understand—and critique—the duality of US imperial power around the globe. Ian Shin is Assistant Professor of History and American Culture at the University of Michigan, where he is also a core faculty member in the Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies Program. In addition to Imperial Stewards, his articles and reviews on topics that range from the Boy Scout movement in New York's Chinatown to the role of colleges and universities in 19th-century U.S.-China relations to the history of museums of American art have appeared in Amerasia Journal, Journal of Asian American Studies, Journal of American-East Asian Relations, and Connecticut Historical Review.
