Listen "Episode 1: Stewardship Is A Way Of Life"
Episode Synopsis
Is stewardship just about money? Father Andrew Kemberling, an expert on the practice of stewardship in one's faith life, explains how stewardship is actually a spirituality that is anchored in thanksgiving for God's many blessings. Father Kemberling points out that fund raising in faith organizations is usually focused on simply meeting needs. Fully-formed stewardship, on the other hand, is based on the spirituality of recognizing that God has given us many blessings, and in acknowledging that, we should want to respond with gratitude and thanksgiving by giving back. And that giving can take many forms. Father Andrew Kemberling is a parochial vicar of Immaculate Heart of Mary in Northglenn, Colorado. For 14 years he was pastor at St. Thomas More Parish in Centennial, CO. With Mila Glodava, Director of Communications and Stewardship, he wrote the book "Making Stewardship a Way of Life: A Complete Guide for Catholic Parishes" (published by Our Sunday Visitor, 2009). The parish received many awards for its pioneering embrace of stewardship as a touchstone of parish life. Fr. Andrew was born in Tucson, Arizona and joined the Benedictine order in 1985. He was ordained a priest in 1988.
