What are the areas of stewardship in our life? Time, Talent, Treasure, Truth, & Relationships.

Stewardship is a topic that is very dear to my heart. As I’ve studied more on the subject, I first have to ask the question: What is stewardship?

If only I had more money… We’ve all thought it. Paul writes, “But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content” (1 Tim. 6:8). It’s important that we reorient our perspective and redefine our goals when it comes to money. Read more on this topic here:

The gospel shifts our gaze from money to someone far better.

At Flourish Financial Planning, we also offer Biblically Responsible Investing for clients who want their portfolios to reflect their faith.

BRI is about aligning where your money is invested with who God has called you to be. It's about stewardship at every level of your financial life.

If this is something you have been curious about, we would love to talk.

In God's word we find wisdom. James 1:5 (ESV) says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given." His word reveals Himself leading us to worship Him, and His word reveals how He intended us to live a flourishing life. W

What is Biblical Stewardship? Stewardship is commonly used word by Christians referring to their finances. With its commonality, it's easy to lose focus on what stewardship actually means.

When the church (or any group of believers) discusses the intersection of God and money, our role is most commonly conveyed as stewardship. In the rare instance of Christians discussing money with one another, it is almost inevitable that someone will mention, "I want to be a good steward wit

“What does the Bible say about how we should live? Does Jesus want us to sell all that we have and give the money to the poor?” Biblical examples show us that there is a difference between having wealth and loving wealth. Learn more about the guiding biblical principles here:

I run a Bible study at my church where we explore what God’s word has to say about finances and managing money. Inevitably, as the study progresses, one of the most common questions I get is “What does the Bible say about how we should live? Does Jesus want us to sell all that we have and give t...

Here is a question worth sitting with: if someone looked at your bank statement, would they be able to tell what you value most?

Our spending tells a story. It reveals priorities we may not even be conscious of.

This is not about judgment. It is about awareness. And from awareness comes the freedom to realign your resources with the things that matter most to you and to God.

"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Matthew 6:21)

If someone wanted to pay me $100,000 for the contents of my fridge, I would be running home to clean it out and throwing in the contents of the freezer as well.

That is how the man in Matthew 13:44 felt about the treasure he found in the field. The "sacrifice" of selling everything was not really a sacrifice at all. The gain so far exceeded the cost that it was pure joy.

When we see Christ as our greatest treasure, generosity stops feeling like giving things up. It feels like gaining something infinitely better.

More on this parable here:

“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.” Matthew 13:44 This one sentence parable has been on my mind quite a bit recently. Jesus shares back-to-back parables (this and the ...

After God mentions that margin is for the benefit of the marginalized, he reminds them "I am the LORD your God" (in Leviticus) and "You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt;" (in Deuteronomy). Through the practice of creating margin, we are to remember who God is and what He has done.

The concepts of gleaning and creating margin are themes that are periodically commanded and mentioned within the Old Testament and for good reason. But what does this mean for us Christians living according to the New Covenant through Christ?
