Stewards, Not Owners: Aligning Your Faith and Finances

In this episode, Mike Baer sits down with Bill and Dana Wichterman, co-authors of the new book Stewards, Not Owners: The Joy of Aligning Your Money with Your Faith. Together, they unpack how Christians can move from compartmentalized giving to holistic stewardship—transforming their charitable and investible assets into tools for mission. Drawing on decades of experience in government, aid, finance, and global development, the Wickhams explain why business is not only a means of provision—but of restoration, dignity, and Gospel impact.They also address the blind spot in most believers' financial lives: investment capital. Learn how your money—whether in a retirement account or donor-advised fund—can be intentionally aligned with God’s purposes through faith-driven investing and BAM (Business as Mission). If you’ve ever wondered what “full surrender” of your finances could look like without sacrificing strategy, this conversation offers practical starting points and an inspiring call to action.If you’ve enjoyed the Business as Mission podcast, please follow us so you won’t miss any episodes and give us a rating wherever you listen.
