Rethinking Stewardship
Why do American Christians have such a difficult time connecting their faith and their financial lives? How do congregations invite people to consider how their relationship with money both reflects and affects their relationship with Jesus? Explore the tensions of cultural and consumerism, the connections between faith and finances, the call to discipleship and generosity, and learn from successful stewardship models.
