While most people automatically associate stewardship with money, it also involves the way we manage our relationships with other people and the gifts that God gives us. One Family: The Sacred Blend uses the inspiration of the epistles to highlight the place of family and community within the church.

Dr. Toler says it best with his acrostic of the word BLEND:

Bringing hearts together to celebrate, encounter, and adore our God (Worship).

Lending our lives to the faith community (Partnership).

Engaging in practices for spiritual growth (Discipleship).

Never giving less than our best to God’s kingdom (Stewardship).

Devoting ourselves to sharing God’s good news with others (Friendship).

It’s amazing what the right blend can create. It is amazing how the right blend of personalities, gifts, resources, and passions can affect the entire world. When we look at the family of God that He has placed us in, we can see that same exciting blend. If we come together and mix our ideas and gather our resources, we can impact our community and spread God’s hope and love across the globe.

This task is too much for one person to accomplish. But together, we can achieve it. That is the beauty of the family of God. He has brought together His own special blend of talents, intellect, and ability to accomplish His goals. One Family: The Sacred Blend provides the inspiration and teaching necessary to create this kind of blend in your local church.
