Welcome to the very first episode of Unspoken Stewardship with Dr. Lynn Abies. This isn't just another podcast, it's a conversation that's been a long time coming.

If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right spiritually but still feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or like something isn't quite working, this episode is for you. Dr. Lynn explores why so many faithful people feel like they're barely holding it together, and introduces a framework that goes far beyond what we've been taught about stewardship.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why stewardship is about so much more than money, budgets, and tithing
• The critical difference between survival and stewardship and why most of us were only taught one
• How to shift from asking "Can I do this?" to "Should I do this right now?"
• Why capability doesn't equal calling, and opportunity doesn't equal assignment
• The gap between faith and function that nobody talks about

This is a discipleship conversation that treats stewardship as spiritual formation, not behavior modification. It's honest, reflective, and rooted in Scripture with room to breathe.

If you're tired but faithful, overwhelmed but sincere, or just ready to have the conversations that usually stay unspoken, this is your invitation to start paying attention to what God has already entrusted to you.
