Ownership says, “This is mine.”

Stewardship says, “This is mine to care for.”

One centers control. The other, responsibility.

Ownership wants to preserve and protect. It assumes permanence.

Stewardship wants to support and participate. It embraces development.

The shift from ownership to stewardship doesn’t mean having less but rather participating more.

Where in your life are you protecting ownership instead of participating as a steward?
