Talking about stewardship with the well-resourced folks in our congregations can be difficult. We may avoid the conversation, thinking that they know more about finances than we do. Or we may approach it with an agenda of increasing giving to the church. Podcast host James Lenhoff helps us avoid these two mistakes and have meaningful stewardship conversations with our members who have a surplus.
As a pastor, how do you disciple believers in stewardship? Christians need more than money management tips or exhortations to give; stewardship is all about honoring God with our finances and lives. Believers living on the edge financially need both Biblical principles and practical tools. Podcast host James Lenhoff helps pastors address both of these needs.
Stewardship. It feels like an awkward topic. As a result, most pastors hold back from teaching it.

Learn how to teach stewardship holistically and effectively – without conflict of interest.
Some folks in our congregations need more than general stewardship principles – the “why” and the “what”. They need help with the “how” – putting those principles into practice in their situation.
