Loving the Stewardship Season, Part 3
In a conversation between Bo Prosser and Ruben Swint, the focus is on reframing the annual stewardship campaign. Ruben emphasizes the importance of crafting a stewardship letter that begins with a story and speaks to different segments of the congregation based on life stage. He advises avoiding the term "pledge" and encourages focusing on generosity and spiritual growth, not just financial giving. Ruben stresses the need for storytelling and narrative budgets to engage people, while avoiding over-apologizing for the season or setting unrealistic expectations. The overall message is to foster a sense of community and abundance through thoughtful communication.
