When it comes to relationships, do we think of them as being something we're supposed to steward well? And if so, how do we steward the relationships God has intended for us according to His word?

We must ask ourselves why did God create man in the first place? It was because He desired relationship with us. He also intended us to have relationship with others. Genesis 2:18 says, "Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.”

Things can be replaced, but people can't be. Relationships are of the utmost importance to God in why He created us and deal with how He intended for us to live. We all have relationships of some type, and this is something we all have to examine and evaluate to know what types of relationships God wants us to have and how they should be cared for and fostered.

Types of relationships that God wants to bless include husbands with wives, parents with children, godly friendships, mentorships, and more. Listen to Brett & Mike discuss relationships and the bible and how God wants us to steward our relationships.

When it comes to being a good steward of a business, it's more than just making profit. The way we go about running our business, working with integrity, and serving others is paramount. Getting the sale isn't the most important thing. Presenting yourself as Christ's disciple in each situation is the most important thing. Every business is a people business, and it's of utmost importance to keep people in mind within your own organization as well as the clients you serve.

Colossians 3:23-24 says, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ." In all the work we do and the way we conduct our business, we should be doing all of it as if we are doing it unto the Lord Himself.

Brett & Mike define stewardship and business stewardship in this episode. Listen as Brett & Mike share personal testimonies, scripture on how to view work, and how to set and keep the right priorities in business that will help enable you to thrive as a good steward for God.

Most entrepreneurial dads want to stay healthy and fit, but they find it hard to balance their work, family, and health. Many times, it doesn't seem like there's enough time in the day for exercise and fitness when all the stresses of life pile up. This is why 60% of people over 40 are overweight or obese. What can be done to combat this?

Dr. Anthony Balduzzi created The Fit Father Project (www.fitfatherproject.com) to help dads and business owners just like you. Dr. Anthony's own father died when he was only 9 years-old, because his dad was stressed out from work and financial stress that caused a horrible cancer to take his life at the age of 42. Dr. Anthony set his mind on not letting that happen to him, and teaching other dads how they can live long and full lives with their families.

The reality is, health and fitness is a bedrock for everything we do, including spiritual growth, creating great family memories, and performing well in our businesses. As we get older, we only face more health challenges. That's why if dads can combat them now in their 40s, it makes their 50s, 60s and later years so much better.

Listen as Dr. Anthony Balduzzi shares with Brett tips and secrets on how to get healthy and stay healthy amidst the business and stresses of life.

When the word 'Stewardship' is mentioned, most people automatically think of money. But being a good steward has to do with more than money. We're to be a good steward of every aspect of our lives that God has given us. Time Stewardship is of the utmost importance to live a successful life. If time is our most valuable resource, even more than money, then it stands to reason that the Stewardship of Time is more important than stewardship of money.

Brett & Josh define stewardship and time stewardship in this episode. They talk about the importance that this right mind-set brings in helping us live as God intended us to concerning time. When we understand some basic concepts, time stewardship can become a lot easier and life can be a lot more enjoyable and manageable. Listen as Brett & Josh share personal testimonies, scripture on how to view time, how to number our days, and how to set and keep the right priorities in life that will help enable you to thrive as a good steward of God's time.

Stewardship is a word with a lot of connotations, especially when it comes to Biblical stewardship. In this episode, Brett & Josh will be discussing more specifically what financial stewardship is according to the Bible? There are many scriptures about stewardship, especially stewardship of money in the Bible. There are a lot of common words that get thrown around about giving like 'tithing' and 'offerings' and 'first fruits' and how they apply today versus in the old testament. But what does the Bible really say about giving and how can we practically apply it to our lives today?

Brett & Josh define stewardship and financial stewardship. They talk about the importance that this right mind-set brings in helping us live as God intended us to concerning finances. When we understand some basic concepts, financial stewardship can become a lot easier and a lot more enjoyable. Listen as Brett & Josh share personal testimonies, scripture on money and finances, as well as practical advice on what works for entrepreneurs that will help enable you to thrive as a good steward of God's finances.

Why do so many people in our culture today dread work? Many times we think of work as a burden we have to do but really don't want to. Which breeds depression, stress, anxiety and unfulfillment in our lives. This perception of work robs us of true meaning in life, and leaves us very little time to actually enjoy life.

But is work really supposed to be a curse? David Bahnsen doesn't think so. David believes that work is actually a gift and a huge part of our meaning in life. David wrote the book "Full-Time Work And The Meaning Of Life." In this book, David discusses how work is actually meant to enrich our lives and he exposes lies we've believed in many areas where work is concerned. Including how valuable one job is viewed compared to another, and even how the church has wrongly viewed "ministry" work compared to "marketplace" work.

David argues that work isn't supposed to be something dirty. But it's actually supposed to be one of the most important things in life that gives us the deepest purpose and meaning. And we don't have to wait until the last part of our lives to make an impact. Doing work well now, as Christians, can be one of the greatest ministries to the world in this day. Listen as Mike and David talk about Full-Time Work And The Meaning Of Life.

David L. Bahnsen is the founder, Managing Partner, and Chief Investment Officer of The Bahnsen Group, a national private wealth management firm with offices in Newport Beach, New York City, Bend, Nashville, Minneapolis, Austin, and Phoenix, managing over $5.3 billion in client assets.

David spent eight years as a Managing Director at Morgan Stanley and six years as a Vice President at UBS. He is consistently named one of the top financial advisors in America by Barron’s, Forbes, and the Financial Times.

He is a frequent guest on CNBC, Bloomberg, Fox News, and Fox Business, and is a regular contributor to National Review.
