Why are we called to take good care of what God has given us? Here's Karen Melby. We need to be good stewards of the life that God has given us, but ultimately take a step back and look at the larger perspective. It's about the hope of heaven one day. We're good stewards today with what God has given us, whether it's our finances or our time on earth

and what we do with it. But it's really what we do here is going to impact the hope that we have

of eternity. This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamoumoo, co-author

of True Woman 201 for August 24, 2018.

We've talked all this week about being prepared for the future by managing your finance as well.

And I'm seeing friends walk through challenges, many of them not as prepared as they wish they had been.

And some of them have done a great job of preparing and have been a

while we're living and after our lifetimes to care for what God has entrusted to us.

So we've just touched on some of these things, and I hope that the conversation we've had with

Karen Melby and Lisa Hagenauer and Andrea Carston, coming at this from a personal standpoint
