Stewardship of Food


Listen Later

In this episode, we take a big-picture look at stewardship—what it means to care for all that God has entrusted to us—and how that calling extends even to the food we eat.

Together, we’ll consider how food is a gift to be managed for His glory—and why our daily decisions about food and nourishment actually matter in light of eternity. We will look at:

  • What the Bible shows us about food as God’s good gift in creation
  • How sin has distorted our relationship with food and the land
  • What is food? And how we can faithfully redeem our habits and choices
  • Practical ways to think about nutrition, stewardship, and grace in a modern world full of processed foods and mixed messages


We hope this conversation will encourage you to approach food with gratitude, wisdom, and worship. Because in the end, stewardship isn’t about perfection, it’s about faithfulness with what we’ve been given, one small step (or one bite) at a time.
