As you mature in your faith and the principle of stewardship takes root, your sense of freedom from possessions and money will increase, along with your sense of responsibility as a steward. To chart the right course for your resources today and for generations to come, you will need the influence of wise counselors, experienced professional advisors, and other generous givers. Learn more about the Maturing Giver stage in our Giving Journey Guide (PDF, 4.3 MB).
