Instead of swinging between the extremes of the “poverty gospel” (money is bad) and the “prosperity gospel” (more money means more blessing), we’re invited into a better way: a manager mindset. Scripture reminds us that God owns it all – our income, possessions, investments, even our abilities. And we are entrusted as stewards of our things, not owners. Through the Parable of the Talents, Jesus challenges us to faithfully manage what He’s placed in our hands, not with fear or self-indulgence, but with purpose, gratitude, and kingdom vision.
