The Business Steward

The Business Steward is a podcast for faith-driven business owners who believe that what they've built isn't really theirs. Psalm 24:1 says it plainly — the earth is the Lord's, and everything in it. That includes your business, your finances, and every person on your team. That's not just a theological idea. It changes the way you make decisions, manage money and lead people. That's what this show is about. Each episode, host Steven Abbott and co-host Austin Parkhurst sit down to work through what it actually looks like to run a business as a steward rather than an owner. Steven brings over a decade of experience as a fractional CFO and business advisor working alongside faith-driven entrepreneurs and every episode is anchored in scripture because we believe the Bible has more to say about business than most people realize. We cover three lanes and we stay in them: How you operate your business. The systems, the decisions, the strategy — and how a stewardship mindset changes the way you think about all of it. How you use your financials. Not just compliance and tax returns, but your numbers as a tool for honoring what God has entrusted to you. Profitable, intentional and built for legacy. How you treat your people. You can't steward a business without stewarding the humans inside it. We're not HR experts, but we know that caring for your team well is both a biblical calling and a financial decision — and we'll show you how to do both. If you're a business owner who already talks about your company as a ministry, who wants your finances to reflect your faith and who is serious about building something that lasts beyond you — you're exactly who we made this for. Welcome to The Business Steward.
