Stewardship: For the Care of Souls

by Nathan Meador, Heath R. Curtis, Harold L. Senkbeil (Editor)

Stewardship isn't just managing resources―it's soul care.Stewardship of time, talents, and treasure isn't just about sustaining the material of the church. It's about guiding those resources in service of the church's primary proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ. Stewarding the lambs of Christ that make up your congregation encompasses all aspects of their lives―material and spiritual.Nathan Meador and Heath R. Curtis present a practical theology of stewardship focused on ministry in service of the gospel. Guiding pastors away from the pitfalls of idolatry around money, they instead call stewards to embrace their identity in Christ and encourage their congregations to do the same. This fresh approach to stewardship reorients both individuals and congregations toward their true purpose as stewards who have been baptized into Christ.Stewardship will help pastors to teach and preach stewardship as a call to repentance and new life.

Stewardship as Pastoral Care

Meador and Curtis help one see the why, how and what of stewardship from the perspective that stewardship is not just balancing the budget and keeping church doors open, but that it gets to the heart of the Christian and pastoral care. As Christians and congregations come to understand the stewards God has called and saved them to be, it will revolutionize their understanding and practice of stewardship.

A helpful balance of the theological foundations for stewardship and practical ways to implement this important aspect of Christian discipleship and formation within the local church. I found the emphasis on teaching stewardship as pastoral care to be refreshing and compelling.

Great little book on stewardship from a Gospel, not a Law, perspective.
