Stewardship Leader is the podcast for pastors, stewardship leaders, executive pastors, and church leaders who want to cultivate a biblical culture of stewardship and generosity in their churches. Hosted by Leo Sabo, President of the Christian Stewardship Network, each episode features practical conversations with trusted ministry leaders, pastors, researchers, and generosity practitioners who are helping churches disciple people toward financial faithfulness. Together, we explore the theology of stewardship, the principles of generosity, financial discipleship, church culture, leadership, and the strategies that move stewardship beyond fundraising and into lifelong spiritual formation. Whether you're launching a stewardship ministry, strengthening an existing one, or simply looking to lead with greater biblical clarity and confidence, Stewardship Leader will equip and encourage you to build disciples who faithfully manage all that God has entrusted to them.
With so much financial advice available, why do so many people still struggle with money? Could it be that we're teaching people how to manage money without first helping them understand what money is actually for?
In this episode of the Stewardship Leader Podcast, Leo Sabo and Matt Bell explore how our identity as stewards rather than consumers transforms our relationship with money. Discover the three biblical purposes of money—to love God, love others, and make a meaningful difference—and why understanding these purposes is essential to faithful stewardship and financial discipleship.

God is Enough: From Scarcity to Contentment
What does it really mean to believe that God is enough? And how would our lives change if we stopped trying to earn His approval, control our circumstances, or find security in the things we possess?
In this second conversation with Dr. R. Scott Rodin, author of Enough: Finding Deep Contentment in an Anxious and Fearful World, Leo Sabo explores the connection between God's love, genuine contentment, and faithful stewardship. Scott challenges us to move beyond simply knowing that God loves us to personally experiencing His love and living from the assurance that we are His beloved children.
Together, they discuss how contentment is learned through daily surrender, how to trust God's presence during seasons of suffering and uncertainty, and why embracing our identity as stewards rather than owners brings freedom from the burden of control. They also explore how contentment transforms generosity and leadership, allowing us to serve faithfully without making our identity or security dependent on outcomes.
Discover why the path from scarcity to contentment begins not with having more, but with knowing and trusting the God who is enough.

Why Enough Never Feels Like Enough
Why does having more rarely make us feel like we have enough? Whether it's money, time, security, success, or control, the pursuit of more often leaves us feeling anxious, dissatisfied, and fearful about the future.
In this episode of the Stewardship Leader Podcast, Leo Sabo welcomes Dr. R. Scott Rodin, author of Enough: Finding Deep Contentment in an Anxious and Fearful World, to explore the spiritual roots of scarcity and our struggle to trust God's provision. Drawing from the Garden of Eden, Scott explains how the belief that God is withholding something from us fuels comparison, striving, and the desire to control our circumstances. Together, they discuss why contentment is essential to faithful stewardship and joyful generosity, how to distinguish wise financial planning from fear-driven accumulation, and why gratitude is a powerful first step toward freedom from scarcity.
