Ep. 072 - How Should Christians Steward an Inheritance?

Receiving an inheritance can stir a mix of gratitude, responsibility, and spiritual tension. In this episode, we explore how followers of Jesus can approach an inheritance not as owners, but as stewards of what ultimately belongs to God. 

Drawing from Scripture and practical examples, we discuss the dangers of misplaced trust, the opportunity to give generously, and how our financial decisions reflect our eternal inheritance in Christ.

Whether you're anticipating an inheritance or navigating one now, this conversation offers wisdom for faithful stewardship.
