How can we faithfully pass on the principles of biblical stewardship to our children, grandchildren, and the young people we influence? In this episode, we explore how every believer—whether a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, mentor, or friend—can intentionally guide the next generation toward becoming wise and generous stewards of God's resources.
Drawing from Deuteronomy 6:4–9, we discuss the call to teach God's Word diligently, model a transformed heart, and create everyday opportunities for kids to practice giving and wise financial decision-making. Through practical examples—from grocery store checkout line conversations to family giving projects—you'll learn how to disciple children in gratitude, generosity, and faithful resource management. These habits, built early, can shape a lifetime of joyful stewardship that honors God and blesses others.
