Podcasts about Stewardship

If you're a follower of Christ, it's important to protect, not only our destinies, but also our witness to others by being being good stewards of one of the most powerful and precious gifts we've been given...our minds. This week, Charles Tapp shares the next part in this series with an important message "The Stewardship of the Mind."

Send us Fan MailGUEST: CAL BEISNER, author, Social Justice vs. Biblical JusticeSocialism has become mainstream in America. Political candidates representing the Democratic Socialists of America Party are winning elections across the country. Their website says this:“Imagine taking a day off from work in a future without capitalism. You don't really have bills anymore. You have no debt. You don't need health insurance. You don't pay a mortgage or have a landlord, because comfortable housing is a human right. Your retirement is publicly funded. Food, education, energy, medicine, and transportation aren't for-profit businesses; they are common goods and utilities.If we lived in a classless society and governed ourselves, we could freely build a world without war or poverty. Building this world is the guiding star of our movement. When we labor for our common good instead of private profit, we can all have a secure and dignified life, and use our time and talents how we wish.”We, we, we. Just like the rebels of Babel in Genesis 11, building their city and tower in opposition to God.Our guest this weekend to discuss the rise of socialism is Cal Beisner, founder and president of The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, an organization that “advocates for policies that lift people out of poverty through principles such as private property rights, entrepreneurship, free trade, limited government, and access to abundant, affordable, and reliable energy.”Cal is also the author of two helpful booklets related to this topic that you will be able to order from us: Social Justice vs. Biblical Justice and Is Capitalism Bad for the Environment?

With rising temperatures, longer summers, drought, and more wildfires occurring in the United States and Canada, there is growing interest in the impact and efficacy of Indigenous fire and cultural burning practices. Indigenous communities throughout this region known as Turtle Island have long used fire to manage their homelands. An interdisciplinary anthology that includes extensive Native views, Landkeeping: Restoring Indigenous Fire Stewardship and Ecological Partnerships (OSU Press, 2026) provides engaging perspectives on the role of Indigenous fire and its importance to our ecological health, cultural continuity, and land-based kinship.Indigenous-identified and non-Indigenous allies and researchers in ecology, natural resource management, forestry, ethnobotany, and Native American/Indigenous Studies demonstrate how Indigenous knowledge offers sustainable, relational approaches to land care and resilience. Each chapter builds on the idea that fire stewardship is a manifestation of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK)—a system of knowledge that is rooted in place, transmitted through oral traditions and embodied practices, and guided by values such as reciprocity, responsibility, and interdependence with more-than-humans. By recognizing that fire is part of a larger cosmology, Landkeeping contributors share how fire stewardship is a path toward ecological balance, cultural revitalization, and just climate futures.

The 2026 midterms are approaching, and there is growing pressure on conservatives to sit out elections, reject Republican candidates, or pursue some kind of political accelerationism because Republicans have not accomplished everything conservatives hoped they would.In this episode of Conversations That Matter, I make the case for why Christian conservatives should generally vote Republican in the midterms, while also explaining why voting is not a substitute for the much more important work of Christian discipleship and social renewal.The key distinction is between practical politics and pragmatism. Pragmatism means changing your moral standards to achieve a desired political outcome. Practical judgment means recognizing the political circumstances you actually inhabit and using the tools available to you without changing your moral convictions. As I argue in the episode, morality does not change, but political circumstances and available options do.I also discuss the temptation to abandon the Republican Party because it is imperfect, the dangers of accelerationism, what the experience of Europe can teach us, my own decision not to vote for Donald Trump in 2016, and why that calculation would be different in a competitive state.Finally, I look at what the Trump administration and the MAGA movement have actually accomplished on issues including immigration, DEI, abortion, and foreign policy, and argue that conservatives should consider whether to build on those gains rather than simply destroy the political apparatus because it has not delivered everything they wanted.The question is not whether Republicans are perfect. The question is what political options actually exist, what can be accomplished through them, and how Christians should exercise stewardship in the circumstances God has given us.00:00 The Midterm Question01:05 Voting Is Not Social Renewal03:00 What Political Options Do We Actually Have?05:45 Practical Politics vs. Pragmatism09:00 The Problem With Accelerationism10:25 Why Build on MAGA?16:00 Stewardship and Imperfect Political Options25:45 What Has MAGA Actually Accomplished?Jon's Music: jonharristunes.comTo Support the Podcast: https://www.jonharrismedia.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastSubstack: https://substack.com/@jonharris Follow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What if financial success isn't the destination, but simply the foundation for something greater?We spend a great deal of time thinking about how to earn, save, invest, and manage money wisely. Those things matter. Faithful stewardship requires care and wisdom with what God has entrusted to us.But what happens when you've done many of those things well and still find yourself wondering, Is there something more?Scott Highmark, President and Co-Founder of Mosaic Wealth, a Certified Kingdom Advisor®, and author of The Significance Pyramid: Climb Beyond Success to Find Lasting Significance, believes there is.His “Significance Pyramid” offers a framework for moving beyond financial success toward a life increasingly shaped by purpose, generosity, service, and ultimately surrender to Christ.Why Success Alone Can't SatisfyOur culture often encourages us to keep moving “up and to the right”—more income, more achievement, more possessions, more recognition.There's nothing inherently wrong with achievement. The problem comes when we expect it to satisfy desires it was never designed to fulfill.Highmark points out that even people who reach the top of their professions often discover that the fulfillment they expected doesn't last. Accomplishment may bring genuine satisfaction for a season, but our appetites continually reach for something more.Ultimately, the human heart's deepest longing cannot be satisfied by another financial milestone or professional achievement. We were created for God Himself.That conviction is at the heart of the Significance Pyramid. Every life points somewhere. The question is whether ours ultimately points toward ourselves or toward something greater.Stewardship: Building the FoundationThe pyramid's first level is stewardship.Stewardship involves wisely managing all God has entrusted to us—not simply our money, but our time, abilities, opportunities, and relationships.Financially, that means understanding what we have, knowing where it is going, and learning to live within our means. Practices such as budgeting can sometimes feel restrictive, but healthy financial boundaries can actually create freedom. When our finances are in order, we can spend and give more intentionally instead of constantly reacting to financial pressure.But stewardship is only the foundation. Once money consumes less of our attention, we can begin asking deeper questions about what our resources are actually for.As Highmark puts it, money can help fund our purpose, but it cannot help us find our purpose.Symmetry: Bringing Our Lives Into AlignmentThe second level is symmetry, or alignment.Most of us can quickly name what matters most to us: faith, family, marriage, generosity, service, relationships. But would someone looking at our calendars and financial statements reach the same conclusion?Symmetry means aligning the way we actually live with the things we say we value.James 1 describes a person who looks at himself in a mirror, walks away, and immediately forgets what he looks like. In a similar way, we can profess certain priorities while organizing our lives around completely different ones.Highmark tells the story of a successful executive who traveled more than 150 days a year. His children were nearing adulthood, his mother was aging, and financially, he no longer needed to continue working at the same pace. Yet striving had become such a normal part of his life that he had never seriously considered another way.One simple question changed his perspective: Why are you still working like this?Eventually, he stepped away from that role. In doing so, he gained more time with his children and his mother and began serving through ministry.Sometimes faithful stewardship requires more than accumulating enough. It requires asking whether the life we are living actually reflects what we say matters most.Purpose: Using What God Has Given YouThe third level of the pyramid is what Highmark calls self-satisfaction. The name can sound self-focused, but the idea is really about discovering meaningful work and using our unique gifts well. Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”God has made each of us with different abilities, experiences, relationships, and opportunities. Faithful stewardship includes learning to use those things in service to Him.Highmark draws on an insight from Henry Blackaby: Rather than beginning with the question, What is God's will for my life? we should begin with, What is God's will? Then we ask whether we are willing to adjust our lives to participate faithfully in what He is doing.That changes the focus. Purpose is no longer primarily about finding the career or activity that makes us feel fulfilled. It becomes a matter of offering our lives to God and faithfully using what He has entrusted to us.And even personal fulfillment isn't the top of the pyramid. If our purpose ends with ourselves, it still falls short.Significance: Turning OutwardThe fourth level is significance.Here, the focus shifts from inward to outward. Instead of asking, What will make me happy? we begin asking, How can I use what God has entrusted to me for someone else's good?That may require sacrifice. We may willingly choose to have less so someone else can have what they need. We may surrender time, comfort, opportunity, or resources for another person's good.Jesus Himself models this kind of life. Philippians 2 describes Christ as taking “the form of a servant.” Rather than using His position for His own advantage, Jesus humbled Himself and served.Significance, then, isn't simply about accomplishing something impressive or leaving behind a recognizable legacy. It is about loving and serving others faithfully—even when doing so costs us something.That can show up in countless ways: generosity, hospitality, mentoring, caring for family, serving through the local church, investing in younger generations, or simply making ourselves available to people God has placed around us.Surrender: The Ultimate DestinationEven significance isn't the final destination. At the top of Highmark's framework is surrender.A person can live generously, serve others, and pursue meaningful work and still remain at the center of their own life. Biblical surrender goes further. It means offering our whole lives to Christ.Our money belongs to Him. Our careers belong to Him. Our families, abilities, ambitions, plans, and futures belong to Him. That doesn't mean financial planning or professional success is unimportant. It means those things find their proper place beneath the lordship of Christ.Success asks, How much can I accomplish? Significance asks, How can what I have been given serve others? Surrender asks an even deeper question: Lord, how would You have me faithfully use everything You have entrusted to me?Financial success can be good. Wise stewardship can create margin, opportunity, and freedom. But success was never meant to become our ultimate destination. The goal is faithfulness—a life in which everything God has entrusted to us increasingly points beyond ourselves and toward Him.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband and I are entering retirement and use a credit card for groceries, paying it off monthly to earn travel rewards. Is that a wise strategy, or would it be better to pay directly from our monthly budget?I'm 71 and want to use Qualified Charitable Distributions for my tithes and offerings. How do QCDs work, can they come from an annuity, and can I direct part of my RMD to myself and part directly to my church?Resources Mentioned:Become a FaithFi PartnerThe Significance Pyramid: Climb Beyond Success to Find Lasting Significance by Scott HighmarkMosaic WealthFaithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly MagazineFaithFi Field Guide: How Much Money is Enough?

Read the text.⁠⁠Get the free book.⁠As Paul sits in a Roman prison cell, he writes, “Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel, for which I am suffering, bound in chains as a criminal. But God's Word is not bound” (2 Tim 2:8-9). Even though he may be imprisoned, God's Word cannot be. Put all the preachers in chains, but the message of Christ remains free. Unshackled.Little did Paul know that the schemes of the Enemy would one day shift from binding the hands and feet of Christians to binding the Word—with legal fetters. Evil emperors who cast saints into dungeons would be replaced centuries later by Christians who imprison the Word behind bars of jurisprudence. And no matter the stated reason for this imprisonment of Scripture, the outcome remains the same: the Word does not run freely.The Church can no longer declare with Paul, “God's Word is not bound!” Instead, followers of Christ cower before copyright claims, subservient to man's restrictions on what God himself authored. It may be God-breathed, but men have arrogated it, threatening anyone who might want to unbind it and let it fill the earth as the waters cover the sea. Preachers call it “God's Word,” but mere humans insinuate that it is theirs with the phrase “all rights reserved.”In our modern Church, Paul might have said the opposite of what he wrote so long ago. Looking around at the Bible publishing landscape, he may have written, “Remember Jesus Christ, as I preached in my gospel, which I am free to proclaim. But God's Word is bound in chains as a criminal.”

Send us Fan MailHow to record in-kind donations for nonprofits is more than an accounting question . . .it reveals what programs truly cost and how much support the community contributes! Justine Townsend, Manager at Your Part-Time Controller (YPTC), explains how to value, document, report, and steward noncash gifts without distorting the books.Donated office space, food, equipment, vehicles, program supplies, graphic design, and certain professional services can represent significant organizational support. If a nonprofit would otherwise need to purchase the item or service, failing to record it may understate both revenue and expenses, and conceal the real cost of delivering the mission.Fair market value is where things become complicated. Food banks may use published food valuations, while donated office space may require comparisons with similar local properties. Donor estimates also deserve scrutiny. Justine recalls an advertising contribution valued at approximately $1 million (enough to nearly double one organization's reported annual revenue) before the valuation methodology was challenged.“The finances are just our story told in a different way,” Justine explains. Accurate records support more than audits and Form 990 reporting. They strengthen budgeting, donor stewardship, vendor relationships, fundraising communications, and financial planning.The conversation also exposes a frequent operational failure: development teams negotiate in-kind support, but finance learns about it late—or not at all. A clear gift acceptance policy can establish what the nonprofit will accept, who approves unusual contributions, when appraisals or additional forms are needed, and whether the organization can actually use or sell the donated property.Volunteer support deserves attention too. Verified volunteer hours may support audit-note disclosures and show funders the depth of community participation. As Justine says, in-kind support helps tell “the story of how much the community loves, supports, needs and wants what you're doing.”Key Takeaways:Record qualifying in-kind revenue and its corresponding expense.Use supportable market evidence—not an unquestioned donor estimate.Describe donated property on acknowledgments without assigning its tax value.Create a separate receipt process for noncash contributions.Connect development, finance, and donor stewardship before accepting gifts.Budget for donated resources so leaders understand replacement costs.00:00:00 Why In-Kind Donations Really Count00:02:13 What Qualifies as an In-Kind Donation?00:04:00 When Donated Services Can Be Recorded00:04:37 Valuing Free or Discounted Office Space00:06:16 Who Determines Fair Market Value?00:08:32 Event Discounts, Goods and Professional Services00:10:21 Reporting, Stewardship and Form 99000:13:34 Fixing the Finance–Development Disconnect00:14:43 Tracking Volunteer Hours and Their Value00:17:19 Valuation Mistakes and Gift Acceptance Policies00:22:53 The Cost of Not Recording In-Kind Gifts00:25:14 What Belongs on the Donor Receipt#NonprofitFinance #InKindDonations #TheNonprofitShowFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

"When we build, we first remove the soil and replace it with rubble, concrete and tarmac. When we grow, we exclude all life from the land bar the one crop we want. Where we belatedly recognise our ultimate dependence on nature, we confine it to intensive ‘nature only' areas such as rewilding zones, field margins and beetle banks." Michael Taite 2026How do we reconcile our human need for shelter, autonomy, a sense of safety in our own homes…with the wider need for us to collaborate with the Animate Earth, to become the self conscious nodes in the Web of Life, so that we can each find what's ours to do, that only we can do and that we can do best?  How can we create more homes in a Thrutopian process that shifts us from the dysfunction of our current system to something that works for people and planet?Our guest this week has just completed a Masters at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, and has written his thesis addressing this very problem and today, he comes to talk to us about his concept of the 'Stewardship Freehold Village', which feels like one of those ideas that is so obvious, it's amazing nobody thought of it before - but nobody did, or at least, if they did, it is lost in the toxic chaos of a trust-less planning system that rewards the most predatory of predatory capitalists. Michael Taite started his professional life working for a huge London developer - now long gone - and towards the end was responsible for a portfolio of thirteen developments with big residential schemes in Docklands and other sites in London, Manchester and the north east of England.  While there, he passed over a dozen professional exams, which, amongst other things, gave him insights into the arcane depths of planning law. Since 1996, he has been self-employed and has split his time between his business, environmental and local community concerns. So, for instance, he served 19 years as the lead operational trustee for the Environmental Law Foundation, a UK national charity which secures free legal help for communities under threat. He has also served as a parish councillor and as a trustee of his local village hall and, with his wife Gail, ran their small brand strategy agency whose signature process was a system for consulting whole organisations to secure genuine, broad stakeholder support when radical change was scary but necessary. The agency's slogan was BRAVE = SAFE which feels genuinely Thrutopian.Having attained his Masters from SOAS, Michael is now working on progressing the concepts which emerged from that process, in the hope that they might contribute to averting some of the worst aspects of the intertwined global catastrophes that we address all the time on this podcast. LinksMichael's Substack on SFVMichael general SubstackMichael on LinkedInMichael on YouTubeEnvironmental Law Foundation Elinor Ostrom's 8 Rules for Managing the Commons - Williams, Jeremy.

How can you truly please God every day? In this Words From The Word daily devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster of Good News Baptist Church in Sint Maarten opens up Scripture to show us what it really means to live a life that is pleasing to God, drawing from 2 Corinthians 8, Romans 8:8, 1 John 3:22, Psalms 147:11, Hebrews 11, and more, all from the King James Version.You might be asking... Does God actually notice how I live? Can someone like me really please God? What does it mean to fear God in today's world? Is my faith strong enough for God to be pleased with me?In this devotion, Pastor Webster walks through several practical keys to pleasing God:- You must be saved first - those in the flesh cannot please God (Romans 8:8)- Obedience to God's Word brings answered prayer (1 John 3:22)- Fearing God brings Him pleasure and opens the door to His mercy (Psalms 147:11)- Faith is essential - without it, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6)- Praise and thanksgiving please God more than outward religious gifts (Psalms 69:30-31)You are His ambassador, placed here to represent heaven on earth. Whatever you do today, do it to please God.If this devotion encouraged you, please like, leave a comment, share it with someone who needs it, and subscribe so you never miss a message.#WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurchStay connected with GNBC:

 "Do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with you God" The prophet Micah (6:8)The words of the ancient prophet fly of the page, convicting and inspiring us.Yet they are quite difficult to put into practice! Reflection the 25th anniversary of 9/11 crystalizes precisely the challenge of doing justice and loving mercy in our world.The prophet Micah points us forward by reminding us that doing justice and loving mercy is grounded in humility. When our heart is humble, the seeds of justice and mercy bear fruit, even on terrible days like 9/11.Ultimately, though, Jesus does not come to us as a prophet, but a savior, one who doesn't simply teach about humility, but humbles us and makes our hearts alive through his cross.

It was Teddy Roosevelt who once said, people don't care about how much you know until they know how much you care. Being a good steward of truth means recognizing the great responsibility we have to reflect God's love to the world, otherwise no one will care about what we have to say. Charles Tapp shares more of what this means with his message "The Stewardship of Truth."

Episode 238 with Sander de Klerk, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of The Good Roll, a sustainable paper company building an integrated bamboo value chain between Ghana and global paper markets.The Good Roll began as a European consumer brand selling sustainable toilet paper and using part of its revenue to improve access to sanitation. It has since evolved into a much broader industrial business, processing Ghanaian bamboo into pulp for the global paper industry, tissue products for its consumer brand, and, from 2027, biochar and carbon credits produced from bamboo waste.The company generated more than €5.5 million in revenue in 2025 and has secured a $50 million long term pulp offtake agreement. Its production facility in Akosombo employs more than 86 people, while over 3,000 farmers are ready to supply bamboo. By 2030, The Good Roll aims to operate seven production lines, work with 15,000 farmers and generate more than €175 million in annual group turnover.In this episode, Sander discusses the company's €5.2 million investment raise, and explains why The Good Roll is moving beyond sustainable toilet paper to challenge the structure of the global paper industry. He explores the economics of processing bamboo close to where it grows, what it takes to make Ghanaian pulp competitive in international markets, and why controlling the value chain could allow more income and industrial value to remain in Ghana.

Ask a sitting Division I commissioner to grade the current state of college athletics and most will dodge. Dan Butterly doesn't. The Big West commissioner tells Jimmy exactly where he thinks the enterprise stands right now — and why the uncertainty around NIL, revenue sharing, and the portal is generating anxiety for everyone in the building, not just the athletes.Jimmy and Dan go back more than 25 years, to Big Monday broadcasts and ten o'clock Mountain Time tip-offs. In this one, Dan traces a path that started somewhere unexpected: he tried out to be drum major of the Illinois State marching band and finished fourth. That rejection sent him to the basketball office, where he became a student manager — and where, at a summer camp in 1990, he met his wife Elaine.From there: the Missouri Valley, helping launch the Mountain West in 1999, and then becoming a first-time commissioner on May 4, 2020, hired entirely over Zoom, at the exact moment the world shut down. Dan walks through the decision to sit out fall 2020 sports, what he leaned on when the calls were impossible, and why his first question when a student-athlete leaves is always "what could we have done better?"He also shares the verse he keeps in his social media bio — 1 Peter 3:8 — and what "be humble" actually costs a leader who has to tell people no for a living. Plus, the concussion decision he made about his own daughter's cheerleading career, and why he's convinced she now understands it.Jimmy closes the episode solo with a reflection on God's path, rejection, and what it really means to do all things through Christ.Dan is the 2026 recipient of the NABC Cliff Wells Appreciation Award.

Wednesday evening message from Pastor Jonathan Barber. September 9, 2026

Christianity involves surrendering time, talent, and treasure to God rather than pursuing Mammon. Deuteronomy 8 reminds believers that God permits intentional wilderness testing to cultivate humility, purge pride, and foster complete obedience. Reassuring us of His supernatural provision, God disciplines His children for eternal character development.

Stewardship is an act of worship, an expression of faith, and a discipline for spiritual growth. In this series, The Stewardship Principles of Jesus, Pastor Chappell shows us how to steward the resources God has entrusted in our care. Many Christians find it difficult to practice generosity. Today, we invite you to journey with Jesus through Scripture to see the reasons for giving, the discipline of giving, and the motivation of giving.

Jimmy Sengenberger is in for Michael Brown on this episode of the show, diving into a heated discussion about trade policies and their impact on the US economy. The conversation starts with a lively debate about President Trump's tariffs and the effects they have on American consumers. Jimmy shares his personal experience as a three-time Trump voter, highlighting the president's sporadic and reactive approach to trade, which he believes is not achieving its intended goals. The discussion also touches on the topic of immigration, with a thought-provoking conversation about ICE's enforcement policies and the importance of upholding the law. Tom Homan, a champion of enforcing the law, shares his insights on the matter, emphasizing that ICE has not arrested anyone at a school, hospital, or church. He makes a compelling point about prioritizing those who are a threat to public safety and national security. Jimmy also talks to Tim Lewis, a certified financial planner and author of the book "Uncommon Wisdom, Clarity, Conviction, and Stewardship in a Confused Financial World." Tim shares his personal story of writing the book in his spare time, despite a busy schedule with three kids and a hectic work life. He emphasizes the importance of biblical wisdom in financial planning and how it can help people make better decisions about their money. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in trade policies, immigration, and personal finance. Jimmy's engaging conversation with Tim Lewis and Tom Homan will leave you thinking about the importance of upholding the law and making informed decisions about your money.

As the scientific pursuit of longer, healthier lives intensifies, Christians face an important question: When does responsible care for our health become an attempt to avoid the reality of death?In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard considers radical life extension from a biblical perspective. He distinguishes wise stewardship of our bodies from an unhealthy pursuit of longevity and explains how the hope of resurrection should shape our attitudes toward aging and mortality. He explains that, ultimately, the Christian's hope is not to extend this present life indefinitely, but to receive eternal life with Jesus Christ.Visit PentecostalPublishing.com to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.

Solomon watched the wind and noticed something: it doesn't wander. It has courses. It has circuits. It returns again to its own paths. If natural wind has a course, then the wind of God has a course too. It's not blowing at random. It's mapping something. There are four points on this map, and they build on each other. One leads to the next. Mission. Assignment. Prosperity. Stewardship. M-A-P-S. The wind maps our lives. In this message we walk the whole map: 1. There is a Mission in the Wind (Acts 1:8) Mission is the "what." The wide, unchanging target God is moving all of history toward. A mission you cannot see clearly is a mission you will eventually abandon. 2. There is an Assignment in the Wind (Acts 13:2-4) Your assignment is how you personally fulfill the mission. It has a horizon. It has edges. And that's not a limitation, that's mercy. Stop comparing assignments and ask the Holy Spirit, "Where do you want me?" 3. There is Prosperity in the Wind (Deuteronomy 8:18) Prosperity is not the goal; prosperity is the tool. Money and resources chase vision. Nobody chases a hole. People chase a horizon. 4. There is Stewardship in the Wind (Luke 16:10, 12) The wind looks for a steward before it blows fresh provision. The tithe did not start with the Law and it did not end at the cross. Grace never lowered the bar on generosity. It removed the ceiling. Owners hoard. Stewards release. Mission. Assignment. Prosperity. Stewardship. The wind maps our lives. The wind is with us.

Episode 237 with Lydie Murorunkwere, Founder and Managing Director of ML Corporate Services Ltd, Rwanda's first locally owned licensed Trust and Company Service Provider, and Chairperson of the Rwanda Trust Companies Association.Over the past two decades, Lydie has worked with entrepreneurs, investors, family businesses and institutions across Africa, helping them establish governance, ownership and succession structures designed not only to support growth, but to endure. Her work challenges the idea that succession is simply a legal or technical process. Instead, she argues that it is fundamentally a human issue shaped by fear, family relationships, culture, responsibility and the willingness of founders to prepare others to lead.In this episode, Lydie explains why many successful African businesses remain dangerously dependent on the individuals who created them, and what founders must do to build institutions capable of surviving beyond their leadership. What We Discuss With LydieWhy making yourself indispensable could become one of the greatest threats to the future of your business.How Africa's dependence on founder led companies is limiting investment, growth and economic continuity.Why inheriting a family business does not necessarily mean the next generation is equipped to lead it.How poor succession planning causes African businesses and family wealth to disappear across generations.Why governance can help African businesses attract investment, manage growth and survive beyond their founders.Did you miss my previous episode where I discuss What Happens When Rural African Women Gain Access to Mentorship, Education and Economic Opportunity?
