Money answers all things. Right. And so for me, when I think of the spiritual connection of stewardship, stewardship has been on my heart a lot lately.
And I'm really excited about this word stewardship, because I'll tell you the truth now that I really want to get back into serving in a local church and becoming a stewardship pastor, because I think within the body of Christ, we've kind of taken the word of stewardship that it only means money. But that's not the case. Stewardship means I steward, I manage what God has given.
So stewardship is not just money. Stewardship, if you're going to be successful with money, you got to be a good steward in other areas as well. Stewardship means I manage what's not mine. So the time that I have on this earth as a Christian, it's not my time. It's God's time. Are these clothes that I have on? These are not my clothes. They're God's clothes. I'm stewarding that. Watch this.
The wife that I have that I will get, that's not my, that's my wife, but it's his daughter. I'm called to steward her and protect her. The kids that I have, it's not mine. It's from a biblical perspective. I'm just stewarding them for 21 years. It is my responsibility to raise them and train them in a way that they should go to fulfill the assignment on their life.
So I think if we're going to be good stewards with money so we can receive abundance, we have to understand that everything that we have in life is not ours. Wow. And it's just called for us to steward. So the time that I have with you, I didn't do a whole bunch of podcasts on this book because I was like. I think that's bad stewardship for me to go over there.
But it's good stewardship for me to come to Lewis Howes because that's my brother. I know we're going to have an intellectual conversation. That's good. Leave here, go over here and do that. But it's like now in this season of my life, I'm stewarding every hour of my day.
Because I want to make sure that I'm not wasting that time on something that doesn't get me closer to the assignment that I need to fulfill. And so if we're going to be good with money, if we're going to receive all the abundance, we cannot solely focus on the money. We got to focus on everything that God is giving us in our life and be good stewards over every single thing.
One of the prayers I'm really praying for right now is like, God, and I'm practicing it. God, when I'm blessed to have a family, God, let me steward that family well. Well, Anthony, how are you going to do that? And I told you this before the show. I was like, man, I lost out on a good woman because I didn't make her a priority. I wasn't being intentional.
I didn't steward that season well with her. So now what I'm doing is, man, I don't work on Fridays. I'm positioning myself to when that comes, I can steward that relationship well. And I believe that if we can steward that well, right, and get the right partner, I mean, your wife is amazing, and I've seen her work.
I mean, y'all just going to make more money together because of the true partnership, right? So the Lewis house we see today, this time next year, it's going to be a different Lewis house because now you're married, you have a true partnership, y'all are stewarding that well, and I just believe God is just going to bless it, man. That's beautiful. That's my thought.
Listen, number one, thank you so much, Lewis, for always opening the door for me to come on, man. It's always an honor. And y'all, I got to say this. I know we're promoting my book, but I will be remiss to not encourage you all to preorder my brother's book, Make Money Easy. Come over my show. We'll dive deep into it at the table because I can't wait to have this conversation.
But I would definitely like to end with this, that if you're going to take a seat at the head of your table in 2025, There's a key thing that you got to do that I believe that a lot of people skip over. We tell everyone to mind your business. Get out of my business, just mind your business.
But I think the key thing for 2025 is you have to mind your business because our mind is your number one business. And so I want to encourage people that if you don't take a seat at the head of your table, the only way you can honestly build a successful future is to grow your number one asset, which is your mind. Read the right books. Get my book. Take a seat at the table. Get Lewis' new book.
Make money easy. Get other books. Listen to podcasts. It's going to grow your mind. Because what we put in here goes into our heart. What comes into our heart is going to naturally flow out of our pores. And when that naturally flows out, it's going to be good stuff flowing out that is going to produce abundance, wellness, and freedom.
But if we're always filling ourselves up with what Shade Room says, what this says, what gossip, bloggers, then we're going to pour that out and we're not going to see our life progressing forward. And so if you want to take a seat at the head of your table, mind your business and come check me out. My man. Thank you, brother. Love you, brother.
You know, because growing up, man, I was taught, you know, I grew up in a very strong Christian faith home. I have four parents. I have two biological parents and two step parents. My biological mom and stepdad and my siblings live here in California. Then my biological father and stepmom live in North Carolina, right? And I grew up in a very church thing.
The only conversation we really had around finances was give. Just give to the church. That's it. We didn't talk about money. No, we didn't really talk about, hey, here's how you build wealth. Here's how you start a business. here's what entrepreneurship looks like. It was, hey, when you get your money from Wendy's, you wanna give 10% to the church.
Then what you do with the other 90%, save it, save a little bit, but you know, you want the shoes, you go buy it. No one really talked to me about how to invest. No one said, hey son, save this money, baby, go start a small business.
So growing up, I just knew, go get a job, work the 40 hours a week, make sure you get a good 401k benefit package with some good health insurance, and keep your credit score above a 700, and then you'll get a good retirement package at the end of your time. No one really said, hey, here's how you start thinking at 18 to build true wealth. Here's how you start a business.
So I said, it has to be more. There has to be more than just living paycheck to paycheck, sleeping in the back of my car and looking at everyone else look good. But honestly, I was tired of looking good and honestly not being good.
