Stewardship encompasses so much more than money. It is a way of life. It calls for integration between our faith and the way we live our lives. Stewardship is a mindset, a culture, and a discipline . . . It is everything we do after we say, “I believe.” It is the way in which we use all the resources that God has entrusted to our care so that we can love God and our neighbor. Stewardship is about love.
