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.
