Faithful Stewardship. Kingdom Leadership.

Rodin

Equipping pastors and Christian ministry leaders to lead faithfully, steward wisely, and serve the Kingdom with purpose.

Forming Leaders. Stewarding Kingdom Resources. Advancing God’s Work.

Christian Leader • Theologian • Author • Speaker

Scott Rodin

For thirty years I have walked with leaders through the third conversion.

The moment a leader stops owning the work and starts stewarding it.

My work sits where theology meets practice: board governance, strategic planning, Kingdom generosity and the spiritual formation of those who lead.

  • “This books is very interesting. It shows us real leaders matters and how you should Lead with integrity and justice.”
    Tell us Steward Leadershio Matters
    Carolyn Covington
  • This book is just great! I think the first chapter and the last chapter are the best parts because the main premise of the book is great and the “big idea” chapters are more interesting then fleshing out the details. That is probably in keeping with how the author would like it, since he said it’s not a “how to” book, but a “who to be” book. It’s important to note that this book is about leaders, not about leadership. The emphasis is on the heart, not on what you can accomplish.
    Joseph Garcia
    Founder
  • An excellent book that helps the Christian focus on the most important aspect of being a leader which is loving, trusting and obeying God. This is an excellent book for all Christians, even those who don’t think they are leaders.
    Larry Mitchell
    Founder
  • “ The strongest most satisfying place to live and lead from is from your new heart given by Christ using your mind that is being renewed in Christ each day. Scott has found the words that give us the clarity to understand what it looks like to be a leader! A leader that has a healthy impact on all generations for good.”
    Charles Martinez

  • “This book explores the foundational identity of the Christian life. That is, being stewards in all areas of our life: God, self, neighbor and creation. A must read!!”
    Larry Mitchell
    Founder
  • “does a good job covering the topic of what it means to be a steward while also providing leaders suggestions on how to move organizations towards a steward approach to their their assets. The concept of being a steward is badly needed in our North American society were a mindset of ownership and entitlement is the rule.”
