Description

You've tried all the strategies—funnels, launches, content plans. Maybe they even worked for a while. But the truth is… without stewardship, no strategy will last.

In this episode of the Sustainable Foundations Podcast, we're continuing our series Becoming a Faith-Led CEO by tackling the hard truth: strategy without roots will always fail.

I'll walk you through:

  • The difference between the world's blueprint for success and God's way of building a business

  • A powerful tree metaphor (roots, branches, fruit) to help you see why stewardship matters most

  • Real-life examples of strategies that look good but leave you burned out

  • How to discern if a strategy is rooted in God or just the world's noise

  • Five simple stewardship practices you can start today to strengthen your branches

If you've ever felt like you're spinning your wheels, stuck in the cycle of trying one new strategy after another, this episode will give you a fresh perspective—and a sustainable path forward.

Friend, it's time to stop chasing strategies that leave you burned out and start building God's way—with roots of stewardship, branches of strategy, and fruit that lasts.
