Hello and welcome to another great week here on Destin for Victory featuring Pastor Paul

Shepard. We're so glad you're here because we've got a great message to share with you today

titled There's a Reason for Every Season. But before we get started, I want to tell you about a great

new resource we'd love to share with you this month. During the final year of his life just before being called home to be with the Lord,

Pastor Paul preached an excellent series on stewardship,

one that we've aired right here on Destin for Victory.

It was so well received that we decided to put those messages together as a book

called Becoming an Excellent Steward.

And to share a few words about the book,

I'm pleased to welcome

in Pastor Paul's daughter, the executive director here Destin for Victory, Alicia Greer.

Alicia, welcome. I know you have some thoughts about this new book, but also about the heart of

the man who wrote it. You know, I had the privilege and honor of growing up with Pastor Paul as my dad. And one of the things that he was

really great at as a dad was giving advice. And so I could always go to him for life advice. He was very

wise and he lived his life according to godly principles. And as a result, he saw so much fruit in his life. So I see this last

year of teaching that he did on stewardship as his advice to us as a spiritual father. And one of the

things I love about books is it gives the opportunity for that wisdom to be packaged in a way that's

timeless. And so this book is in a way that's timeless.

And so this book is a wonderful way to glean advice from your spiritual father about how to

steward every area of your life according to godly principles.

And I believe that as we put these things into practice, we can see the same kind of fruit

from our lives.
