Living as a faithful steward

is the goal, but

money and its influence is

an ever-present battle.

Friends, can you relate?

You struggle with discontent and comparison

You can't recall the last time you prayed about your finances

Budgeting is either haphazard or nonexistent

Money is a source of tension or frustration in your marriage

You lack discipline around spending, saving, or giving

At Smarter Stewardship, we’re here to equip you to

use money wisely and live a joyful, peaceful, and faithful life.

Meet your guide, John Putnam

Strategic Coach, Author, Speaker, Business
& Ministry Entrepreneur

Hi, I’m John, founder of Smarter Stewardship. Whether you have a lot or a little, how you approach your money affects your relationship with God, your spouse, and the good works God has entrusted you to do on this earth. The resources, courses, and podcasts I’ve created will help you to make lasting change and live with more faithfulness, joy, and peace in all areas of your life.

You need more than a budget or a list of rules about money. You need a proven framework and resources to get to the underlying beliefs and habits that sabotage your ability to be faithful stewards of all God has entrusted to you.
