Stewarding Time Well
This time of year is traditionally one of the busiest for a lot of people. If you are an entrepreneur, you likely have booked your weekends with markets and events to sell your wares so you can have income coming in. If you are an author, chances are you are wanting to join the crowd of people who commit to writing 50,000 words in the month of November so you can advance substantially on a work in progress. If you are a servant leader, chances are you have a full calendar of social events you'll either be leading or serving at to help others. Or perhaps, you are someone who is balancing work and life the best you can just to survive.

What is a Servant Leader?
To put it simply, a servant leader is someone who puts the needs of others above their own.

Discover Your Calling Through Your Testimony
When it comes to discovering your calling, we often think of it as a sudden clarity that just comes from knowing. Very rarely do we consider it potentially could be something that unfolds in the quiet spaces of our testimony. Your calling isn't always found in the extraordinary. It's discovered when you stop and look back at what God has already brought you through.
How to Steward Your Story
Often we struggle with knowing when to speak and what to share. Sharing your testimony is courageous. But what comes after you share it is also important. Protecting your story while also nurturing the healing that is still unfolding, and allowing God to continue to shape you through it is important.
Just because
