Episode Summary

                            

It's a word that we should be hearing a lot more of, but unfortunately do not. The program begins with our guest host asking Christopher to define the term "stewardship". Next, Christopher explains why stewardship is important to everyone, especially youth and young adults. The program continues discussing whether stewardship is only a monetary issue. There are people in the Church who have an inherent mistrust and  say that we shouldn't practice stewardship. Christopher offers some advice on how we deal with these people. Christopher then gives some simple ideas people can practice both during the Christmas season and throughout the year to be more "stewardship-friendly". The program concludes with some final thoughts.
