A Bigger Vision of Stewardship | by Jason Myhre

In a previous episode, New Testament professor Jonathan Moo pointed out the connection between the words ecology, economics, and stewardship.

Moo noted that "ecology" is derived from the Greek word oikos which means “home.” "Economics" is derived from "oikonomia" which means "management of home." And "steward" is derived from "oikonomoi," the one who is entrusted with managing the home.

It is this more expansive meaning of the word stewardship—and the implications it has on how we think about investing—that we’re going to hear about today. 

For more background on the broader understanding of the scope of "home" in oikinomia, see:
