Should Christians Be Landlords? Stewardship and Rental Property

Is it possible to be both a wise landlord and a hospitable Christian? This episode explores the tension between financial stewardship and biblical hospitality for those who own and manage rental properties.

Drawing from Scripture, including Leviticus and the teachings of Jesus, the conversation examines how property owners can balance earning a fair return with treating tenants as image bearers of God. Topics include setting rent with integrity, maintaining the property with care, communicating clearly and compassionately, and discerning when it's time to keep or release a property.

Whether the goal is income generation, providing housing to those in need, or simply being faithful with what has been entrusted, this episode offers practical wisdom and spiritual insight for navigating the responsibilities of real estate ownership with grace and intentionality.
