Summary
Making mentorship matter, plus a practical look at financial stewardship, and growing spiritually as an individual and as a couple while dating.
Featured musical artist: Nathan Tasker
Roundtable: Meaningful Mentorship
Part of being in community is teaching and learning from one another. Mentoring is a creative way to do this whether you’re the mentor or mentee. Mentoring relationships can be discipleship-oriented, skills-based, character-building, or all of the above. Our guests have led and learned from others in everything from Christian living to pickleball to marriage prep to financial counseling. They’ll inspire you to find opportunities to invest in others regardless of where you are in life.
Culture: Managing God’s Money
You may say you don’t have much money, but do you ever think about how it’s all God’s, anyway? Too often we treat what we earn and spend as “ours,” but Scripture reminds us that we are only stewards of what God gives. This perspective shift is exactly what Bill and Dana Wichterman passionately impart to those they coach. Their thoughts on giving, saving, spending and eternal rewards will forever change the way you view finances and their presence in your life.
