Sometimes we come against obstacles that hinder our effectiveness as Christians, even hindering us from fulfilling our life’s calling. When we walk by the Spirit, it keeps us on the straight and narrow, because we see sin for what it really is (captivity) and we see submission to God for what it really is (freedom). We need to aim for living unhindered!
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.

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".
