$1 for Chapter 1
It’s here.
For the last five weeks, I’ve been sharing pieces of what I’m learning about stewardship—the exhaustion of living like an owner, the freedom of living as a steward, the lies that keep us grasping, the identity that sets us free.
Today I’m releasing Chapter 1 of my book.
It’s called “What Is Stewardship?” and it contains:
The 11:47pm moment when I realized I was white-knuckling a book about surrender
The ancient meaning of oikonomos—manager of the household
The definition I keep returning to: Stewardship is faithfully tending everything God has entrusted to you as worship, as mission, as formation
What that costs—and why the freedom is bigger than the cost
A practice called “Inventory of Trusts” to help you see what’s in your hands
Why $1?
Not because I need the dollar.
Because I want readers who are invested. Readers who will actually read it and tell me what they think. Readers who might become the first wave of people to share this book when it releases in 2026.
If you’ve been reading these emails and thinking this is what I needed to hear, this chapter is the foundation for everything else.
When you purchase, you’ll get:
Instant PDF download of Chapter 1 (~3,500 words)
A practice you can try this week
The chance to reply and tell me what landed—and what didn’t
I’m writing this book in public, and I need honest readers.
Is that you?

P.S. — If $1 is genuinely a barrier right now, reply to this email and I’ll send you the chapter free. No questions asked. This isn’t about money. It’s about connection.
