In this episode of Active Generosity, we are joined by Founder and Director of Stewardship Wealth*, a faith-aligned financial planning practice based in the North East of Scotland.

Simon shares the incredible journey he's been on to embed faithful stewardship and joyful generosity into his financial planning business. He also unpacks his personal faith journey and how he tries to support others in their journeys of generosity.

"There's no such thing as my money. It's God's money He's asked me to manage for Him for a purpose, for a season. There's no such thing as my time, my skills, my expertise, my health, my love, my life. Jesus is a sustainer of all these things…So, all of this is to do what God has given me for His will. He chooses to give me free will in how I respond and what I want to respond is faithfully in my finance and be a really good steward."

How you can pray for Simon:

At the time of recording, Stewardship Wealth was trying to buy a building for use by Simon's church. Simon asked for:

• Patience and perseverance through the process

• God's provision for the decision-makers

• Stewardship Wealth to be the resource it needs to be for the local church

• Stewardship Wealth to grow in its business generosity for the church
