Stewardship, God, Money, & Relationships with John Putnam

61: Stewardship, God, Money, & Relationships with John Putnam

What do you think of stewardship? 

Many people think of it as a dusty old church word that’s been used so much that its power has gotten lost. The truth is, stewardship is every choice that you make after you say yes to Jesus. 

In this episode of Couch Time, I sat down with John Putnam to dive into the topic of what stewardship really means and how Smarter Stewardship can help us find a deeper understanding of stewardship, faith, money, and our relationships. 

John Putnam launched his first business after college, then started his financial services practice and ranked as one of the top advisors in the world. He closed his practice in 2012 to launch his generosity ministry helping families, businesses and their advisors design innovative charitable strategies. 

He is the author of the book He Spends She Spends and in 2021, started John Putnam & Company- Helping Faithful Stewards Navigate the Opportunities and Tensions Around Wealth, Faith, and Purpose. 

He is “over-married” to his wife Anne for 30+ years, and has three kids, a son-in-law, and a grandchild on the way. 

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

  • What stewardship is
  • Why money is our common distractor to God 
  • Why money causes issues within marriages
  • How Smarter Stewardship helps with lack of knowledge around money
  • How our perspective of God shapes our decisions
  • How mistakes anchor us to the past
  • The importance of confidence
  • What we can expect from John’s new program 

I hope you enjoyed this conversation with John! As he says, God is too good, and life is too special to let money hold you back. If you want to learn more about John and Smarter Stewardship, make sure to check out his website and his free resources.
