Ep. 077 - Are You Overlooking These Stewardship Loose Ends?

As stewards of God's resources, it's easy to overlook the small financial and digital “loose ends” in our lives—old bank accounts, forgotten 401(k)s, unused subscriptions, and scattered investments. But those small things often grow into major distractions over time.

In this episode, we unpack how simplifying accounts and being proactive with these overlooked areas can free up our time, energy, and focus for what truly matters: honoring the Lord with what He’s placed in our hands.

Whether it’s closing a dormant account, canceling a streaming service, or consolidating investments, these small steps lead to better stewardship and more peace of mind.
