Stewardship

Talents

This is one of the most underrated areas of stewardship So many of us are hesitant and even adamant about not sharing ourselves publicly with what ability we have We are quick to say ldquoI canrsquotrdquo or ldquoIrsquom just a farmer or a factory worker and donrsquot know anything elserdquo Nothing is further from the truth and if we are willing to be used the results may amaze us
