Introduction to Ganel-Lyn 05:15 Ganel-Lyn talks about her new book,
The Stewardship Principle 13:30 What is stewardship? It is
everything. Stewardships are not always fun or something that we
want. 15:00 Leadership stewardships. Some leadership stewardships
are more celebrated than others. 17:00 Some stewardships are hard
and painful. Some are invisible and nobody cares. Others are
visual, obvious, and that people sustain. 17:30 Ganel-Lyn shares
her own stewardships and personal losses 18:50 Different
stewardships are more intense but others that are more quiet are
equally important. 21:00 The opposite of stewardship is ownership.
The quickest way to understand stewardship is parenting. 23:00
Examples of stewardship vs ownership. Ownership starts to take away
agency in parenting and in leadership. 27:00 How do you tell if you
have an ownership mentality? Comparison Control Burnout Praying
away someone else’s agency Being hyper focused on outcomes 29:30
Stewardship thinking is offering based. Ownership thinking is
outcome focused. 32:15 How can we refocus on stewardship and let go
of ownership? 38:00 We have calling changes and pass the
stewardship around. That way we don’t stay stuck in traditions and
get introduced to new perspectives. 39:15 So many people have left
our church because they were in ownership mode for so long. We do
so much ‘’doing’’ and it doesn’t always turn out. 40:20 Ask your
child, your companion, or people in your ward what support looks
like. 41:30 Kurt shares a story about stewardship 44:15 When we
start to see what our friends and family are going through as a
stewardship, it allows us to validate them more but also helps us
understand that we don’t have to fix it or save them. 44:50
Understanding stewardship doesn’t take away the pain or hurt from a
situation but it teaches us that God is not punishing us. The hard
thing that you are going through can still be consecrated for your
good. 47:55 Dealing with infertility and all the rude things that
people say. People act as if we are more righteous then it will
solve our problems. 49:00 The story of Job. All of Job’s friends
had opinions on why he was losing everything. We can have hope
though because everything that Job lost was returned plus more.
51:10 Stewardship doesn’t always have to be hard. Stewardship helps
you appreciate the good stuff too. 54:00 We don’t have to be
everything for everyone. Our stewardships can be very different at
different times in our lives and we shouldn’t compare our
stewardships with others. 57:15 Don't underestimate how your
stewarding is influencing and inspiring others in their own
stewardships. 1:00:50 Remember that Christ owns it. He has just
entrusted you with this stewardship. Links ganellyn.com The
