How Biblical Stewardship Will Transform Your Life

In part two of this conversation with Life Institute, Leo Sabo continues the discussion with Tim Russell and Rev. Drew Gysi by moving from the why of gospel-driven stewardship to the how. Together, they unpack Life Institute’s five biblical financial priorities—give, save, spend, offerings, and luxuries—and explain how stewardship becomes a lifestyle rooted in worship, wisdom, and discipleship. This episode offers pastors and church leaders a practical, balanced framework for helping people faithfully steward what God has entrusted to them.
