Podcasts about Stewardship

Most men don't realize how much of their anxiety, distraction, and frustration is tied to what they own—and what owns them. We live in a culture that constantly tells us to want more, buy more, and accumulate more, yet peace, clarity, and contentment feel further away than ever. Today's conversation is about pushing back against that noise and asking a harder, more honest question: When is enough, enough? My guest is Joshua Becker, author of Uncluttered Faith: Own Less, Love More, and Make an Impact in Your World. Joshua challenges the idea that minimalism is lifeless or empty and reframes it as an intentional act of stewardship, generosity, and purpose. We talk about consumerism, greed, anxiety, and the hidden cost of everything we own—and how living with less can actually free us to love people more deeply, live with greater clarity, and invest in what truly matters. This is a conversation about discipline, contentment, and creating a life that serves your mission—not your possessions.

Show Notes: Reclaiming Your Energy & Healing Past Hurts In this episode, Heather and Dr. Carol Lynn dive deep into the power of "cleaning out the temple." We explore how carrying emotional baggage from decades ago—even as far back as middle school—drains the energy we need for our lives today. From hilarious stories about homeschooling "mommy voices" to the profound act of giving our hurts to God, this session is a guided journey toward midlife freedom. Whether you're struggling with self-forgiveness or still reeling from a comment made to you in the sixth grade, it's time to join the "We Do Not Care Club" and start healing. In This Episode, We Discuss: The Power of the "Brain Dump": Why writing it down on four lines of paper is better than letting it consume your entire brain at 3:00 AM. The Hormone Connection: How dropping progesterone in midlife can lead to increased rumination and "looping" thoughts. Naming the Weight: Identifying the "unpaid emotional bills" we've been carrying and learning how to finally settle the debt. Box Breathing for Stress: A simple, Navy SEAL-approved technique to reset your nervous system (and why you shouldn't do it if you're pregnant!). The "We Do Not Care Club": Embracing the freedom of your 50s and refusing to let other people's opinions define God's creation. Stewardship of the Soul: How letting go of the past allows us to be fully present for what God has for us in this season. Guided Journaling Steps: Name the Weight: Identify one specific hurt you've been carrying. Expose the Lie: What is that old wound telling you? (e.g., "I'm not enough," "I'm forgotten"). Reclaim the Energy: Consciously decide where that energy is going instead—to your family, your joy, or your future. Circle Your Word: Choose one powerful word (like Joy or Free) to focus on this week.

Sermon from the pulpit of Falls Baptist Church.

In this episode, we speak with Tela Troge, a Shinnecock Nation matriarch, lawyer, and kelp farmer, Indigenous to what is now known as Long Island, NY. She shows us how ushering life back into the Shinnecock Bay is not as hard as it seems. By fighting against the billionaire class that tried to take up the land of the area, and pushing against patriarchy that tried to limit women's leadership, she and her sisters are planting sugar kelp in the Shinnecock Bay with extraordinary results. Her message inspires hope that, even in the most troubled waters, we can take action to reverse environmental damage and heal the land. If Tela can do it, we can all do it! She shows the light of how to walk down this path of regeneration and restoration.

Today we hear the Gospel Passage of the 10 that were all healed by Christ when they asked for His mercy.  Much can be said about these verses, those with leprosy, how all were healed, only one came back to give thanks and so much more. Today‘s sermon focuses on us.How?Listen…

Most Christians don't lose their faith overnight. They lose it slowly—through fatigue, distraction, and disorder. In this episode, Coach Alex breaks down why mornings are not just a productivity hack, but a spiritual battleground.Drawing from Scripture, neuroscience, circadian biology, and lived discipleship, he shows how your first 30 minutes shape your faithfulness, clarity, and emotional regulation for the entire day. You'll learn why Scripture before screens matters neurologically and biblically, why sunlight and movement anchor your nervous system, how prayer realigns your loves, and why delaying dopamine restores authority over your mind.This isn't aesthetic “quiet time.” It's embodied stewardship of the body God designed.Main Discussion Themes-Why mornings are about consecration, not self-care-First fruits theology and the discipline of order-Scripture before screens: neurological and spiritual implications-Circadian rhythm, cortisol, testosterone, and morning light-Dopamine, novelty, and nervous system dysregulation-Training attention toward truth instead of threat-Prayer as alignment, not performance-Habit formation and spiritual plasticity -Stewardship of the body as worship-A simple, repeatable, faithful morning rule of lifeTimestamped Outline0:00 – 0:45 Hook: “If Satan can't steal your salvation, he'll gladly steal your morning.” Why most Christians drift through fatigue, distraction, and disorder.0:45 – 1:45 Biblical foundation: Psalms 5:3, Mark 1:35, Lamentations 3:23.

Episode Summary: In this episode, Ed sits down with Tom Wallace of Kopplin, Kuebler & Wallace to unpack why governance often breaks down during leadership transitions at private clubs. Drawing from his experience facilitating hundreds of board retreats, Tom shares a clear benchmark: only about 25% of clubs have governance truly dialed in. The conversation explores stewardship versus short-term decision-making, the importance of structure over personality, and how written systems, succession planning, and member communication protect a club's mission, vision, and values. It's a grounded, practical discussion on how strong governance is built intentionally and sustained over time. Key Moments: Why only a quarter of clubs are truly prepared Tom explains how clubs tend to fall into three groups: those with governance fully structured, those actively working toward it, and those stuck in a cycle of dysfunction where each new president resets priorities. Stewardship over "leaving a mark" The conversation highlights how strong presidents think like stewards, focused on long-term health rather than personal projects or visible wins during their term. A leadership lesson from Arnold Palmer Tom shares a story from his time at Oakmont that shaped his philosophy on leadership: clubs existed long before any one leader and will continue long after, making long-term thinking essential. When governance goes wrong, it shows up physically An example of a clubhouse filled with rooms named after past presidents illustrates what happens when guardrails are missing and decisions are made in isolation. The intersection of member culture and staff culture Tom explains that the strongest clubs are built where member culture and team culture align, and why governance plays a critical role in keeping those cultures connected. Early warning signs of governance drift Ignoring data, lacking a strategic plan, or focusing on short-term issues are all indicators that governance may be quietly eroding before problems surface publicly. Why structure protects everyone From strategic business plans to board policy manuals and orientations, Tom outlines the written systems that stabilize clubs through leadership transitions. "If it's not written down, it doesn't exist" A Ritz-Carlton principle reinforces why documentation and clarity are essential, not bureaucratic, in complex organizations like private clubs. Governance as guardrails, not handcuffs Tom compares good governance to bumper bowling: it doesn't guarantee perfect outcomes, but it prevents leaders from sending the club off course. How to spot a strategic board What boards talk about matters. Strategy, capital planning, and long-term direction signal health; operational minutiae signal trouble. Succession planning as a leadership responsibility Strong clubs know who their future presidents are well before transitions happen, creating continuity rather than disruption. Committees as the leadership pipeline Tom explains why committees should serve as the proving ground for future board members, with performance and collaboration guiding recruitment. Younger members and the owner mindset The episode explores how clubs must intentionally teach stewardship and volunteer expectations during member onboarding to avoid transactional relationships. Why board retreats accelerate alignment Tom closes by sharing how retreats create self-awareness, clarity, and a realistic multi-year roadmap, reinforcing that good governance is a process, not a one-time fix.

God has a plan to transform the world, and He wants to do it through His people—we must fan the flame of our hearts. In this message, Bill Johnson shares a mandate God has placed on his heart for the state of California and the world. Throughout history, the power of the Gospel has been revealed through movements that carried lasting, generational impact. As we pursue God and partner with Him to bring the Gospel to the nations, we are called to fan the flame of our hearts in unity and obedience. What is the invitation for believers today, and what's at stake if we fail to steward what God is asking of us? Take this moment to listen for what God is speaking to you personally and to pray into what He is doing in this season. , , , , , , ,

But what if boundaries aren't a lack of love… what if they're an act of stewardship? In this episode, I explore why so many midlife women struggle with boundaries and emotional over-responsibility, and how Scripture invites us to protect what God has entrusted to us—our energy, our peace, and our capacity to lead well. We talk about: Why boundaries feel especially hard for faith-filled women The difference between compassion and over-functioning What Scripture says about personal responsibility and stewardship How Jesus modeled discernment and boundaries—even with good needs Why weak boundaries keep the nervous system stuck in stress mode How midlife makes the cost of boundary-less living more obvious Practical, calm ways to set boundaries without guilt or conflict This episode is an invitation to release what was never yours to carry and to trust God with what you can't control. Protecting your energy isn't selfish. It's faithful.   I hope this episode blesses you!

When Peter walked on water, Jesus stepped in to keep him from sinking. Dr. Tony Evans explains how God does the same for believers who find themselves drowning in debt and offers a biblical path toward financial freedom.

Executive Pastor, Dr. Stephen Trammell, shares that the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30 reveals how believers can live meaningfully while anticipating Christ's return. God entrusts each person with resources according to their abilities, expecting faithful stewardship rather than fearful inaction. Two servants doubled their investments through wise action, while one buried his talent out of fear and misunderstanding of his master's character. Faithfulness requires both faith and action across all areas of life - finances, relationships, health, and spiritual growth. God will reward those who prove faithful during this time between Christ's first and second coming. Your belief determines where you spend eternity, but your behavior determines how you spend eternity.

Doing good simply for the sake of doing good produces only temporary results. Dr. Tony Evans explains why making a lasting impact begins with a Kingdom-focused perspective that extends beyond this life.

“Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man devours it.” - Proverbs 21:20 Scripture highlights a simple principle of stewardship: wise people live with margin. They don't spend everything they earn; they save, plan, and prepare for the future. And in our modern world, the basic tool that helps us live with margin is a budget. Today, Chad Clark joins us to discuss what budgeting really looks like for most Americans and how we can do better.As FaithFi's Chief Technology Officer, Chad oversees our digital tools and the development of the FaithFi app. He recently came across research that sheds light on how people actually budget. According to a NerdWallet survey of 2,000 adults, three out of four Americans report keeping a monthly budget. That sounds encouraging—until you read the next line: 84% of them say they regularly overspend their budget. And when people overspend, nearly half bridge the gap with credit cards, while the rest tap into savings—often until savings eventually run out. Chad notes that this is why we say that without a working budget, debt is almost inevitable once savings are depleted.So why do some people avoid budgeting altogether? After years of hearing excuses, Chad lists the most common: it's too time-consuming, too complicated, too much math, too restrictive, or simply too hard to stick to—like dieting. Others believe they don't need a budget because they earn enough, or that a budget limits their freedom.But as Chad points out, most of those reasons are rooted in misconceptions. A budget isn't a punishment, and it's not primarily about cutting expenses. It's a decision-making tool that prioritizes spending and helps you align resources with values. Nor is a budget inflexible; it can and should adjust as life changes. And even those with high incomes need budgets. If billion-dollar companies operate from a spending plan, “I make enough” isn't a sound argument for skipping one. Stewardship isn't about how much we earn but how faithfully we manage what God entrusts to us.Before wrapping up, Chad shares how the FaithFi app makes budgeting more approachable. First, it accommodates different budgeting styles, allowing you to choose the method that works best for you. Second, it builds habits through daily, weekly, and monthly rhythms—to help you engage consistently rather than merely set up a plan and hope it works. And finally, FaithFi goes beyond numbers. Through biblical content and community, it helps shape the heart behind the decisions—because stewardship is ultimately about walking with God.If you're ready to begin budgeting—or begin again—FaithFi can help you take that first step and actually stick with it.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a HELOC at about 7% and about $80,000 in credit card debt. Does it make sense to use the HELOC to pay down that credit card debt at the lower rate, or should we handle it another way?
