It’s unlikely that you’ve used the word “steward” in conversation this week. So what does it mean to be a “steward” and what does a “steward” do?

In this episode, the group continues to sit down with special guest Dr. Carmen Imes to explore how the responsibility of “caring and sharing” should be at the very heart of who we are and what we do. Join us for another chapter in a study called “Being God’s Image.”
