Rich Stearns shares from the front lines of global poverty and need due to his work as head of World Vision. He paints a picture of the clash of two kingdoms engaged in warfare. He challenges advisors to take a stand for God's kingdom as those who direct the management of the money that supplies the front lines of the battle. By contrasting the American worldview with the worldview of most of the rest of the world, he exposes advisors to uncomfortable questions and invites them to be a part of strategic solutions. He challenges them to learn to ask the right questions and to exert their influence on the stewardship trajectory of the American church.
