Teaching Stewardship to the Next Generation

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.
