How Our View of God Impacts Our Stewardship with Taylor Standridge
Faith & Finance with Rob West
Billy Graham once said, “Tell me what you think about money, and I will tell you what you think about God, for these two are closely related.” In Jesus’ Parable of the Talents, we see that stewardship isn’t just about money—it’s about how we view God. Today, Taylor Standridge joins me to explore how our image of God influences the way we give, spend, and live. Taylor Standridge is the Production Manager here at Faith and Finance, co-author of Look at the Sparrows, our 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and Anxiety, and a frequent contributor to our quarterly magazine, Faithful Steward, as well as other FaithFi studies and devotionals.

A.W. Tozer once wrote, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” This truth has enormous implications for stewardship. How we see God determines how we handle what He has entrusted to us.If we see Him as generous, trustworthy, and sovereign, we will hold our resources with open hands and joyful hearts, confident that He is both our provider and our treasure. But if we see Him as distant, demanding, or indifferent, we may fall into reluctant giving, fearful hoarding, or selfish spending.
Stewardship is far more than budgets and giving—it is about trust, worship, and living in light of who we believe God to be. A distorted view of God is like setting sail with the wrong coordinates: you may move with confidence, but you’ll end up in the wrong place.
