Still in the Stewardship Series, Jabez and I talk about discovering your talents, gift, calling or purpose in your life and how to take good care of it. Being a good steward of the talents and skills the Lord Jesus Christ has given us is reflective of our appreciation to our Creator. We share our own experiences, how we discovered what we're good at and how we stay secure and not compare what we can and can't do with others can and can't do.

Still in the Stewardship Series, Jabez and I talk about being mindful of our time. Being a good steward of the time that we have in our hands is reflective of our appreciation to our Creator. This episode is especially for single people but even if you are married, you might glean some young adult wisdom in our conversation that you can also apply in your married life.

Nicole, Monica, and Emmylou unpacked if we are well-informed about our faith or is actually being discipled in it. Covered in this conversation are topics about being taught and being discipled, is there a difference between catching up and checking in with each other - listen for the simple test. They also cover honesty markers to determine the discipleship relationship.

WHAT, NOW?

Choose one relationship you assumed was discipleship, or one you assumed was just casual. Honestly check it against the four markers mentioned in the episode. Then ask yourself two things:

• Where am I only being taught, when I actually need to be discipled?
• Where have I only let others see the surface without inviting them into my real life?

After you listen to this podcast, please head over to The Quest for Character - Transformation Beyond Self-Help. QFC podcast exists in the gap between knowing and becoming, between awareness and action, beyond self-help to Christlikeness because character is built not by chance but by choice.
