Drawing on over 12 years with Compassion Australia and firsthand visits to communities in Indonesia and the island of Flores, Michael unpacks why most of us default to the "one talent" mindset — and why that's both inaccurate and costly. With personal stories, a heart for children living in extreme poverty, and a deep passion for the local church, he reminds us that God isn't looking for perfect performance — He's looking for faithful stewardship. Whether it's sponsoring a child for $55 a month, inviting a neighbour to Easter, or simply asking "God, what's my next yes?" — this episode will stir your faith and call you to stop living from fear and start living from faithfulness. flbc.org.au
