Ep. 032 - What does it mean to work diligently? Feat. Michael Blue

In this episode, we have a special guest, Michael Blue, who is the director of discipleship for the Ron Blue Institute. He's also an attorney and a thought leader in stewardship. Join us as we dive into the heart of stewardship and explore the concept of "God owning it all" and how we respond as faithful stewards.

We're discussing key insights from Michael's book, "Free to Follow." This video is just the beginning of a series where we'll delve into working diligently, living simply, and giving sacrificially.

In this episode, we explore the idea of "working diligently" and how it's related to our identity, purpose, and responsibility. We discuss how the modern perception of work can sometimes lead to discontentment and how the early Christian community shared resources and supported one another.

We also touch on the challenges of living out the Acts 2 model in today's society and the importance of intentional community and proximity in building a culture of sharing and accountability.

Don't miss this thought-provoking discussion with Michael Blue. If you have questions or insights to share, feel free to reach out to us. And don't forget to check out Michael's book, "Free to Follow," linked below.

We hope you enjoy this conversation and find it inspiring in your own journey of stewardship. Thanks for watching!
