You got a lot done yesterday.

Answered the emails. Finished the project. Made dinner. Returned the call. Maybe even got the workout in.

You crawled into bed thinking,
That was a pretty productive day, if I do say so myself.

But was it faithful?

Because those aren’t necessarily the same thing.

You can have an incredibly productive day AND yet completely miss what God entrusted to you in it.

And you can have a day that looks terribly unproductive on paper—a conversation that took longer than expected, an interruption you didn’t plan for, a needed hour of rest—and be incredibly faithful.

That’s the conversation we’re having this week on the REDEEM Her Time Podcast.

Because I think we’ve gotten stewardship a little wrong.

Sometimes we take all the productivity advice we’ve learned, add a Bible verse, pray over our planner...and call it Christian time stewardship.

But stewardship has a completely different starting point:

Productivity starts with my agenda. Stewardship starts with His assignment.

  • Why stewardship isn’t simply Christian productivity

  • What Matthew 25 reveals about the difference between an owner and a steward

  • Why what you believe about the Owner changes what you do with what He’s entrusted to you

  • Why your week doesn’t have to go perfectly to be lived faithfully

  • A simple Receive → Recognize → Respond rhythm to help you steward an ordinary Tuesday

If this conversation is helping you rethink your relationship with time, I’d love to keep going with you.

What is it time for?

Instead of ending today asking:

How much did I get done?

Try asking:

Where was I faithful with what God entrusted to me?

That’s the measure we’re after.

Not perfection.

Faithfulness.


And if you’re thinking, I don’t just want to understand this. I want to actually live this way, that’s exactly why I created the Stewardship Circle.

Because change takes time. (Pun fully intended.)

Inside the Circle, we’re practicing faithful stewardship together week after week and season after season—with biblical guidance, practical rhythms, and support for living this out when real life changes the plan.

I’d especially invite you to join us as an annual member, because becoming a faithful steward isn’t something we accomplish in a month. It’s something God forms in us over time.

JOIN THE STEWARDSHIP CIRCLE

Time is sacred. Stewardship is strategic.
