An important part of stewardship is looking at the big picture rather than being short-sighted — taking the time to examine how we are investing the assets that God entrusts into our care. If we're not careful, we'll lose sight of our higher calling and reach the end of our lives without fulfilling our God-given purpose.
It’s been said that everyone ends up somewhere in life. But few people end up somewhere on purpose. If we aren’t careful, we’ll look back one day and realize how quickly our lives have passed us by. That will not be the time to evaluate our life’s purpose and why God has placed us on this earth. If you don’t already know your God-given purpose, then this podcast episode will help you figure it out.
Today we are starting a new series for the Living Strategically podcast where we dive deeper into aspects of a life lived with intention, or as we like to say, “lived strategically”. We explore what we call our "five pillars of Living Strategically” which include: eternal perspective, stewardship, prophetic urgency, freedom, and most importantly…a biblical framework. When these aspects come together, we can live the abundant life that God has called us to live.
After eight weeks of traveling around America, we have safely arrived back home to South Texas. It was an epic journey but there is something special about returning to familiar territory. As Christians, we should never lose sight of where our eternal home is because that affects all of our actions and decisions while on earth.
Our journey through 35 states over the course of eight weeks in an RV continues with this week's episode that we are calling "Of Pioneers and Homesteaders". Throughout the trip, we have been reading the Little House on the Prairie book series and learning lessons on contentment and simple living from the Ingalls family and their pioneer lifestyle.

Proverbs takes many different aspects of our financial lives and reveals the unifying thread: In the long run, prosperity is inextricably linked to character.

As we travel through 35 states to accomplish a bucket list dream of visiting all 50 states, we have seen some spectacular scenery. God's creation is amazing! And in some areas it can also be dangerous, if we don't heed the warning signs, guardrails, and barriers. Those frequent boundaries that we have seen at tourist stops around the country gave us the idea for today's podcast episode on hedges of protection.
Though the world may think otherwise, a fulfilling life does not begin at retirement for a Christian. We all have a God-given purpose to fulfill in our short time on earth, regardless of our age or abilities. Though things may become slower-paced the older we get, it's important to invest each day we are given in ways that serve the Lord and others, for this is the ultimate way to live a fruitful and fulfilling life.
