Welcome

Our time on earth is only a moment, but what we do here echoes for eternity. Walking out our lives in a meaningful and impactful way is a daily journey. We should never stop learning and growing as we seek to become more like Christ in all our ways.

I created this site to capture my thoughts and share them with you as I learn about life in three main areas:

Stewardship – How we manage the resources entrusted to us

Leadership – How we influence those around us

Faith – How we grow in our relationship with Jesus

I read as much as I can, write to help me process and communicate my thoughts, and speak when I have the opportunity. All of this is captured here in the three main sections of the site.

Thank you for visiting and please stay awhile! I’m excited to have you join me in the journey.

Sincerely,

Ira

The Provision Gospel

In my last two posts, on the “Poverty” and “Prosperity” gospels, we took an honest look at each teaching.
