(Fear, Outrage & Grievance), it's time we find a better way to engage. That all starts with each of us as individuals. We cannot control all that we encounter within our day to day lives, or the environment in which we live, but we certainly have the ability and responsibility to control how we react to it. For me, it starts with gratitude and personal accountability. Take a listen and see if there is something here to help you in taking your part in turning down the hate.

Finding Purpose, Mastering Gratitude, and Living Intentionally
You know, life can be tough, filled with struggles, setbacks, and uncertainties. But friends, one thing I have learned through my own journey is that purpose and intentionality are powerful tools to not only navigate those challenges but to thrive through them.
Today, I have the incredible privilege of sitting down with my friend, Scott Maderer, founder of Inspired Stewardship. Scott’s work is all about helping people, especially Christians, discover their true purpose and live out their calling with intention and joy. Scott and his wife Carrie started this journey in 2011, and since 2017, they’ve been doing it full-time, offering coaching, workshops, and even writing a book to guide others in aligning their time, talent, and treasures.
In this conversation, we’ll talk about Scott’s own path—how he overcame personal struggles, including financial hardships, to create a life of meaning and service. We’ll unpack the difference between contentment and complacency, the transformative power of gratitude, and how small, intentional changes can lead to big, life-altering results.
Scott’s passion for helping others live authentically shines through in his work, and I’m excited for you to hear his insights on how we can all live a more inspired and purposeful life. So, grab a seat, open your heart, and let’s dive into this powerful conversation with Scott Maderer.
