How do we transform our faithful to be more generous stewards and create a culture of true stewardship in our churches? A Parish that practices true Christian stewardship is on fire and can achieve the unimaginable and experience no financial or operational challenges as it strives to emulate the kingdom of God. After 11 years of research of best practices, and hundreds of presentations and implementations, as it turns out, there are 15 critical steps.
The new Igniting The Flame Of A Culture Of True Stewardship is now available to lead that transformation. Every Parish leader and Priest must ensure that his or her Parish practices true Christian stewardship and gives every parishioner the opportunity to maximize his or her commitment of time, talent, treasures and tithes for God’s greater glory, and to fulfill their calling as they pursue “a good account before the awesome judgment seat of Christ.”

I have been privileged to dedicate a significant portion of the last 35 years, and much of the last 11 years, traveling over 260,000 miles all over the United States to work with individual church communities, entire Dioceses/Metropolises, and clergy and faithful of most Orthodox jurisdictions to understand and implement true stewardship in their own lives and the lives of their parishes. The Igniting The Flame program is the official stewardship program of the Metropolises of Atlanta, Boston, and San Francisco and countless other Jurisdictions and Parishes.

Spiritual Retreats 
In addition, I have developed the Awake, Reset and Make Something Happen spiritual retreat program for clergy, laity, Parishes and faith based organizations to be able to take a hard and realistic look at what is going on in their world and develop a faith-oriented strategic path forward to their stewardship callings and vision.
