S3E4 - Stewardship of Your Money, Radical Generosity + Purposeful Simplicity  
Podcast: Intentional Fatherhood

Description: This week, we talk about money, work, providing, and vocation through the lens of biblical stewardship. Stewardship is the faithful management of what belongs to God, and Scripture reminds us that our money, time, relationships, influence, families, and opportunities are ultimately His, not ours. Jesus speaks often about greed and warns against living with an ownership mindset instead of a steward’s heart.We explore what it looks like to faithfully steward not only finances, but also our wives, children, organizations, and responsibilities. Seeing ourselves as stewards kills entitlement and reshapes how we use our resources for the good of our families, neighbors, churches, and communities. The conversation also highlights the importance of simplicity and generosity, which means living with intentional limits instead of unnecessary excess, while cultivating a lifestyle of open-handed giving with our money, time, and energy.We also discuss practical ways to build habits and structures around generosity, including the idea of capping your lifestyle while leaving your generosity uncapped. Rather than drifting financially, families should decide ahead of time what “enough” looks like and create a plan for giving radically and intentionally.Practical Steps:As you anticipate or plan for an increase in finances, discuss with your spouse what your capped lifestyle looks like.Create a plan for generosity, including specific categories, the timing, how much, etc.3 Questions to Ask Yourself:What have you been given?What does faithfulness look like in those areas?What needs to change in how you’re handling it?Intentional Fatherhood Retreat: November 12-14, 2026 in Austin, TXScripture Mentioned: 1 Timothy 6:10, Luke 12:13-21, Luke 12:48, 1 Corinthians 4:2, Matthew 6:19-24 + Matthew 6:1-8Submit Questions: Send a voice recording to hello@intentionalfatherhood.org, mentioning your name and where you’re from.Intentional Fatherhood WebsiteFollow @intentionalfatherhood_ on InstagramWatch + Subscribe on YouTubeIntentional: Website + InstagramJustin Whitmel Earley: Website + Instagram
