Transformational Stewardship: Should We Expect a Net Benefit from Following Jesus?
Abstract
Jesus did not ask us to follow him to make our lives worse. Even though there is a cost to discipleship (letting go of our false self and old ways of being), there is a corresponding benefit that is meant to lure us into something better: abundant life and the life that truly is life. Ultimately, our hope as church is that stewardship should be about both personal and social transformation, as opposed to something more limited, like making the world a better place.Downloads
