In this episode, Mike Baer sits down with Bill and Dana Wichterman, co-authors of the new book Stewards, Not Owners: The Joy of Aligning Your Money with Your Faith. Together, they unpack how Christians can move from compartmentalized giving to holistic stewardship—transforming their charitable and investible assets into tools for mission. Drawing on decades of experience in government, aid, finance, and global development, the Wickhams explain why business is not only a means of provision—but of restoration, dignity, and Gospel impact.They also address the blind spot in most believers' financial lives: investment capital. Learn how your money—whether in a retirement account or donor-advised fund—can be intentionally aligned with God's purposes through faith-driven investing and BAM (Business as Mission). If you've ever wondered what “full surrender” of your finances could look like without sacrificing strategy, this conversation offers practical starting points and an inspiring call to action.If you've enjoyed the Business as Mission podcast, please follow us so you won't miss any episodes and give us a rating wherever you listen.

Eighty four year-old Irma Thomas is the “Soul Queen of New Orleans.” Galactic is a band that’s spent the last three decades generating uncompromising funk music. Now, these cornerstones of the Crescent City are sharing a new collaboration — Audience With The Queen. Stewards of sonic heart that they are, Galactic fits perfectly alongside Thomas’ incomparable voice. And we expect “Where I Belong” will become a setlist staple for both artists.

Our second reading today comes from the Book of Revelation, which is the last book in the Bible. But before we talk about the reading from Revelation, we need to go back to Genesis, the first book of the Bible. We go all the way back to the beginning, in the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth. Do you recognize that phrase, heavens and earth? We heard it in Revelation today.

What would you do if you found something so valuable, so life-altering, that you gladly gave up everything else just to have it? That's the image Jesus gives us in Matthew 13—two brief parables, one powerful message. They remind us of a truth that can reframe not just our faith, but our finances, especially in uncertain times.In Matthew 13:44–46, Jesus says:“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.”“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.”In both parables, something of immense value is found, and the response is total surrender. But not begrudgingly. Not in fear. In joy. That joy is everything. It's the natural overflow of discovering something so worthy, so beautiful, so eternally good that it reorders your entire life. All other pursuits fade in comparison.But What About When Life Feels Like a Storm?Let's be honest—most days don't feel like we've just struck eternal treasure. In today's economy, with interest rates up, inflation lingering, and layoffs still in the news, you might feel like you're just trying to stay afloat. You're not alone if you're grasping for security, calculating risks, or losing sleep over your monthly expenses.But here's the good news: even in uncertain times, Jesus extends the same invitation. He's saying there is something more valuable than everything you own. And that something is someone—Him.When Christ Is Your Treasure, Money Loses Its GripWhen Jesus becomes your treasure, money loses its power to control you. You're no longer tethered to the markets, to your salary, or to your fears. Your peace isn't tied to your portfolio—it's anchored in God's unshakable Kingdom.That's what Paul discovered in Philippians 3:7–8:“Whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.”Paul had status and influence, but he gave it all up when he found the true treasure in Christ.We see this again in the Macedonian believers in 2 Corinthians 8. Even in deep poverty, they gave with joy—not because they had extra, but because they understood Christ's surpassing worth. They didn't view giving as a loss but as a gain.The Paradox of the Kingdom: Loss Becomes GainHere's the paradox: when you release your grip on material things, you make room to take hold of eternal things. Stewardship becomes joyful. Giving becomes worship. And peace begins to replace pressure.But let's not pretend it's always easy. Sometimes, the treasure feels far away. The joy is buried beneath fear. The anxiety drowns out trust. Jesus anticipated this, too. In Matthew 10:29–31, He says:“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father... Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”God sees you. He knows your needs. And His care for you isn't based on your net worth, but your infinite worth to Him.A Resource for Your Journey: Look at the SparrowsThat's the heartbeat behind our 21-day devotional, Look at the Sparrows. Created by our team at FaithFi, this devotional helps center your heart on God's promises, His presence, and His provision.Because when you're standing in a storm, you need more than a budget—you need a Savior. And He's not far off. As Jeremiah 29:13 promises:“You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”When Jesus is your treasure, everything changes. You steward your money with open hands, not clenched fists. You invest in what truly matters. You trade the stress of accumulation for the peace of contentment. And yes, joy returns.So if your heart is anxious today, remember the man who bought the field. Remember the merchant who found the pearl. And remember the Savior who invites you to find lasting treasure in Him.Order your copy of Look at the Sparrows at FaithFi.com.

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. 00:00 Introduction to the Steward Lab Podcast 00:41 Understanding Stewardship: A Personal Story 02:37 Defining Stewardship: Biblical and Practical Perspectives 06:51 Stewardship in Action: Real-Life Examples and Parables 19:43 The Grace Project: A Church Initiative 23:11 Continuous Growth in Stewardship 30:52 Practical Steps to Improve Stewardship 32:55 Self-Examination and Taking Action 34:26 Conclusion and Call to Action

When Michael Beattie became Deputy Chairman of Stewards for the Hunter And North Western Racing Association in 1985 he wasn't made welcome by all of his new colleagues. In fact one senior member of staff was clearly unhappy about the appointment of the bloke he called  “the brash young steward from Grafton”. Beattie's lifelong tendency to call a spade a spade has earned him a reputation as a tough, hard operator- some have branded him a “bully”. Others have testified to his fairness and his insistence on listening to every shred of available evidence  Few have ever left a Beattie inquiry without knowing exactly where they stood. The sixty six year old has swapped stewarding for racing administration on a couple of occasions over more than fifty years in the industry. This is a podcast with a straight shooter who tells his life story with candour, humour and a touch of showmanship. Michael talks about his good fortune in landing back in his beloved hometown of Grafton as CEO of the Clarence River Jockey Club.  He talks of the dozen Grafton Cups he's overseen since returning to the northern rivers. He's a great admirer of the 2022 Cup winner Arapaho. Michael talks of early days in Grafton when his favourite entertainment was the Friday night ABC television coverage of the Harold Park trots. He couldn't wait for Fridays to come. He revisits the 1971 Miracle Mile win by freakish Western Australian pacer Mount Eden. The performance made a lasting impression on the budding racing aficionado. He takes us back to the heady days when he'd climb a Jacaranda tree outside the Grafton racecourse to watch the horses come down the straight. Finally his father Les agreed to take him to the races as a paying customer. Michael's a good storyteller and regales us with some entertaining yarns- like the one about his offer to a prominent trainer who always seemed to be short on helpers. He's always been able to open doors. At just fourteen years of age in 1973, he put a proposal to the four race clubs who used the Grafton racecourse. We're talking about 37 race meetings a year. Next thing young Beattie was writing all of the racebook form for those four clubs.  Michael tells the story of a winner on Ramornie day 1973 owned by a respected Doctor who wanted him to strap the horse no matter what. You'll enjoy the rest of the story. He takes us through the rigorous procedure he had to follow in quest of a job with NSW Government Railways. It was worth the trouble. The former international steward looks back on his appointment as a cadet with the Northern Rivers Racing Association (NRRA), and an introduction to the tough task of handicapping. Michael's desire to spread his wings saw him apply for an important new job in 1985. He was 26 when appointed Deputy Chairman of Stewards with the Hunter and North Western Racing Association. He remains grateful for the enormous experience he gained over fourteen years. His first stint as a racing administrator came in 1999 when he successfully applied for the CEO's role with the Gosford Race Club. He gained invaluable experience over almost seven years. Michael reflects on a conversation with trainer Joe Janiak who'd indicated he might set rising sprint star Takeover Target for the 2004 Pacesetter Stakes. That conversation took a few twists and turns. Michael looks back on Gosford Committee meetings when he persuaded board members to consider purchasing more real estate around the racecourse. He remains gratified that there's now sufficient space for Racing NSW to develop a huge training complex in the future. He reflects on the surprise phone call from former high profile steward John Schreck advising him of an upcoming position with the Macau jockey Club. Michael took the job but opted out of his contract less than a year later. The reason for his change of mind is perfectly understandable. It was back to Sydney and a new role as Chairman Of Stewards for Harness Racing NSW at precisely the time the dreaded EI virus made its presence felt in Sydney. Michael takes us through some highlights and lowlights of his time at the helm of harness racing. He recalls another surprise approach from the Macau Jockey Club who were keen to get him back for another stint. The offer came shortly before the infamous “green light scandal” dealt the trotting industry a crushing blow. Michael responds to the reputation he's carried for years as a very tough man to deal with in the stewards room. He doesn't deny the claims but believes his fairness more than counterbalances his stern disciplinary measures. He talks about his current online involvement in the buying and selling of local thoroughbred bloodstock. To date he's moved some 400 horses for northern rivers owners. He has the backing of the CRJC Committee who are delighted to see most of the money being recycled in the region. This is the story of a country kid who made things happen from a very early age. It's unlikely anybody could tell it better than the man himself. A very entertaining podcast from a true blue Aussie racing tragic who happened to be blessed with multiple talents.  He didn't waste one of them.

Big Idea: Now Hiring:1 Corinthians 4:1-13I. Stewards to struggle against prejudice…1 Corinthians 4:1-5A person should think of us in this way: as servants of Christ and managers of the mysteries of God. In this regard, it is required that managers be found faithful. It is of little importance to me that I should be judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I don't even judge myself. For I am not conscious of anything against myself, but I am not justified by this. It is the Lord who judges me. So don't judge anything prematurely, before the Lord comes, who will both bring to light what is hidden in darkness and reveal the intentions of the hearts. And then praise will come to each one from God.III. …to be slandered for faithful service…1 Corinthians 4:6-7Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying: “Nothing beyond what is written.” The purpose is that none of you will be arrogant, favoring one person over another. For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you didn't receive? If, in fact, you did receive it, why do you boast as if you hadn't received it?III. …and to suffer like the scum of the earth!1 Corinthians 4:8-13You are already full! You are already rich! You have begun to reign as kings without us—and I wish you did reign, so that we could also reign with you! For I think God has displayed us, the apostles, in last place, like men condemned to die: We have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to people. We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored! Up to the present hour we are both hungry and thirsty; we are poorly clothed, roughly treated, homeless; we labor, working with our own hands. When we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it; when we are slandered, we respond graciously. Even now, we are like the scum of the earth, like everyone's garbage.Next Steps: Believe: I need Jesus to replace my selfish heart today.Become: Sign me up!  I'm willing to suffer as King Jesus did for me.Be Sent: I will be a spectacle to someone far from Jesus this week.Discussion Questions: What is your #1 trait for a great leader? Explain your answer. What resources has God given you stewardship?Give an example of how to display humility without calling attention to yourself. Do you have a weakness that God wants to use for his glory?How did you respond the last time you were mistreated?Is there any reward that would make a life of suffering worthwhile?  Explain your answer.Pray for the Holy Spirit to make you a spectacle to someone who needs Jesus this week. 

A special feature from the Stewards of the Sacred Conference What if the plants around you—yes, even the common ones—were not just botanical companions but profound spiritual teachers? In this special edition episode from the inaugural Stewards of the Sacred conference (October 2023), Natasja welcomes Pam Montgomery, a beloved Earth elder, international teacher, and pioneer in plant spirit healing. With more than three decades of experience as an herbalist and author, Pam shares a moving and timely teaching on how plants initiate us into higher consciousness and co-create our evolution alongside Nature.

According to the Apostle Paul in Titus 1:5-9, elders are not only teachers.  They are also overseers and stewards of God.  What does this mean?  How does it inform their work?  Also, what kind of men should elders be?  We'll address these questions in this 8-minute podcast. 

Dublin City Council Arts Officer Ray Yeats says that stewards will be hired to patrol the Molly Malone statue to try to discourage the practice of people 'groping' the statue.

Sunday Evening Service

Bill Wichterman, Senior Advisor at Impact Foundation and founded the Faith Driven Entrepreneur and Investor network in Washington, DC. I'm reaching out on behalf of Dana and Bill Wictherman, authors of the upcoming book Stewards Not Owners. Dana Wichterman is a Senior Advisor at Impact Foundation and founded the Faith Driven Entrepreneur and Investor network in Washington, DC. Bill Wichterman is a former White House Special Assistant, co-founded Wedgwood Circle and leads Faith and Law as Board President.   In the book, the Wichtermans inspire a perspective shift from owning to stewarding—viewing wealth, work, and resources as God's gifts to be used with purpose. Stewards Not Owners provides insights on values-based investing, generosity, thoughtful budgeting, and more.   Given the thoughtful conversations you have on the podcast, I thought your listeners might benefit from hearing from Dana and Bill. They can discuss the book and faith-aligned financial strategies applicable to all Christians and share powerful stories of people who have dedicated their resources for purposeful impact for the Lord.

We have been invited into God's story – his people & his mission. Everything we have is from his hand. And yet,we want to think we belong to ourselves. Jesus tells this parable to remind us that we are stewards, not owners.

Isildur counsels his successors to bring their heirs to the Hill of Awe to reveal the secrets of the realm; Alan and Matt wonder if there's a Gondorian equivalent to Area 51. Join us as we step back in time to the establishment of the Tradition of Isildur in our final episode on Cirion & Eorl. Isildur gets out a map and points to the middle (like putting a memorial to George Washington in the middle of Kansas), the Stewards play rules-lawyer to justify their going to the hallow and then hardly ever go, and Cirion makes a tough decision about exhumation. We discover that Tolkien thinks he'd squandered his best “motifs and characters” in The Hobbit, discover that an absence of dead people means an absence of alfirin, and suggest that you talk to your doctor to see if Meneldil is right for you. Also, a Barrow-wight that sounds a little like Tom Bombadil. Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at shopify.com/pony. This episode of the PPP is sponsored by BetterHelp.
