Things change when you begin to experience growth, and while everybody loves cute, few love responsibility, because responsibility is messy. Scripture calls us “servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God,” faithful and wise household-managers who fortify our homes, our lives, and our church while the Master is away. We’re not trying to grow big, just healthy, remembering that when you commit to Jesus you become a servant of Christ, and when you commit to a church you become a steward of His house. God has called us to build a legacy—one that reaches people, welcomes children, values those who are still coming home, walks through loss and wilderness seasons with faith, gives more away than we store away, and builds His house with excellence, wisdom, and generosity as we follow His leading and move at the pace of His grace.
