Do You Own It? Or Is It God’s to Entrust? | Stewardship Over Ownership | Ep. 002

In this episode of the Christ Centered Stewardship podcast, Nino Villa and Maria Casillas explore one of the most foundational questions of faith and daily living:

Do you own what you have — or has God entrusted it to you?

This conversation reframes stewardship beyond finances and into every area of life God has placed in our care. Through Scripture, reflection, and practical examples, Nino and Maria unpack how an ownership mindset often creates pressure, fear, and anxiety — and how embracing stewardship brings freedom, peace, and clarity.

Rather than asking, “What’s mine?” this episode invites a better question:
“How is God inviting me to faithfully manage what He has entrusted to me?”

In this episode, we explore:

Ownership vs. Stewardship
Why this distinction matters — especially at the beginning of a new year.

How Culture Shapes an Ownership Mindset
The subtle ways our environment trains us to claim control rather than trust.

What Scripture Teaches About Belonging
A biblical foundation for stewardship rooted in God’s sovereignty.

Stewardship Beyond Money
How our time, bodies, work, relationships, and decisions are also entrusted by God.

Why Ownership Creates Pressure
How saying “this is mine” often leads to stress, fear, and striving.

The Freedom of Stewardship
What changes when responsibility is held with God instead of apart from Him.

Practical Ways to Practice Stewardship Daily
Simple shifts you can begin making right now.

Weekly Stewardship Challenge
A reflective invitation to release ownership and walk in trust.

This episode continues the foundation laid in the premiere and prepares the way for deeper exploration of Christ-centered stewardship in the weeks ahead.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by responsibility, burdened by control, or unsure how faith connects to everyday decisions, this conversation offers a gentler, more faithful way forward.
