Reb tests Dave’s stewardship knowledge on today’s “Let’s Talk Money with Dave and Reb” podcast. Looking at Jesus’ description from Luke 12, Dave summarises the qualities of a good steward, while Reb shares a story about a “not-so-good” steward from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
While Dave took liberties, and Reb thinks he cheated on the quiz because he used his phone, Dave did answer the questions of who and what makes a “good” steward based on the verses from Luke.
“A steward should know his position and his limitations,” Dave says. “It is also important that He knows the owner – the One who has left him in charge. A faithful steward will also be a leader who cares for others. A caring leader brings life and there is peace in the house.”
After looking at the character of Denethor, the Steward of Gondor, in Tolkien’s novel, Dave and Reb agreed that a “not-so-good” steward is a person who leaves his post and stops standing and leading, who forgets the battles and victories of the past, who no longer knows the king he serves, and sometimes stops caring about the responsibilities under his care.
