Are You a Good Steward? Understanding Biblical Stewardship

What does God expect us to do with everything He has entrusted to us? In this episode of Fixed On Jesus, Rich Richardson and Mark Johnson Jr. discuss biblical stewardship and how it impacts every area of life. Stewardship is more than managing money—it includes our time, talents, children, resources, relationships, and attention. Together they answer questions such as: • What is biblical stewardship? • How should Christians view money and possessions? • Is there a place for leisure and recreation in the Christian life? • What does faithful stewardship of children look like? • Who deserves our attention, and how do we guard it wisely? • How can we glorify God with the resources He has given us? Join the conversation as Rich and Mark explore what it means to faithfully manage God's gifts and live with an eternal perspective. Fixed On Jesus is a production of Center Church in Gilbert, Arizona. Have a question for a future episode? Email production@centergilbert.com.

Why Are There So Many Genealogies in the Bible?

For many people reading the Bible, genealogies can feel confusing, repetitive, and easy to skip. So why are they there?

They discuss why God preserved these family records, how they connect to His promises throughout redemptive history, and why they ultimately point us to Jesus Christ. If you've ever wondered what those long lists of names mean or why they matter to your faith journey, this conversation will help you read them with fresh eyes and greater appreciation for God's unfolding plan of salvation.
