Living a Legacy: Embracing Whole Life Stewardship

The Generosity NOW Podcast

In this episode, Eric and Laurie dive into the concept of Whole Life Stewardship—a framework for aligning our lives with purpose and generosity.

What does it mean to truly steward your labor, influence, finances, and expertise? How can we live in such a way that our presence in a community is both meaningful and transformative?

Eric and Laurie unpack these questions, blending personal insights, scripture, and real-life examples. They share practical wisdom on how to balance your time, embrace your unique God-given gifts, and lean into the opportunities to serve others—no matter your profession or stage of life.

Highlights from this episode include:

• A powerful question: Would your neighbors miss you if you left?
• The acronym LIFE: Stewardship of Labor, Influence, Finances, and Expertise.
• Rethinking generosity: It’s not just about finances but a whole-life approach.
• Why there’s no divide between the sacred and the secular in how we live and work.
• Practical steps to steward your influence and expertise, even in challenging contexts.

This episode challenges us to see stewardship not as a duty, but as a privilege to glorify God in all we do. Whether you’re a business leader, a teacher, or someone exploring their next steps, Eric and Laurie offer fresh perspectives to inspire action and cultivate a legacy of generosity.
