And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore. And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

Jesus said some head-scratching things about money. Usually, it was in the form of a parable with a twist so unexpected that, in many cases, we’re still missing the point today—two thousand years later. Join author, pastor, and communicator Andy Stanley to take a closer look at what Jesus said. What you find may change the way you spend, save, and see your money for good.

Follow Jesus' lead of reaching and serving one person at a time.
Being in mission with Jesus can involve many activities (church planting, disciple-making, evangelism, etc.). It can take place in different places (large cities, small towns, remote rural villages). But amid that diversity of tasks and locations, there is one essential element for every all-in missional follower of Jesus: wholeness of heart. More important than the going and the doing is the being—being people with hearts of integrity, hearts with a singular loyalty, hearts that have been formed, reformed, and transformed by the Holy Spirit as he makes us more and more like Jesus.
