Inspired Stewardship Podcast
Faith, Finances, and the Power of Generosity
I recently had the chance to sit down with Scott Maderer on the Inspired Stewardship Podcast, where we explored the deep connection between faith and finances. Growing up watching my father navigate the struggles of running a business, I realized that financial success isn’t just about numbers—it’s about stewardship. True financial peace comes when we shift from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance, recognizing that what we have isn’t really ours but a resource to manage wisely. I shared why generosity isn’t just an act of giving, but a transformative practice that shapes our hearts and brings clarity to our financial decisions. Whether you're a business owner striving for impact, a family seeking financial peace, or someone wondering how faith and money intersect, this conversation is for you. Listen in and let’s redefine financial stewardship together.
