Many stewards and managers in ancient times were slaves. Sadly, the English word “slave” has been tainted by modern western slavery in America, Britain and elsewhere, thus making it hard to use that word without forming some notion of grotesque human oppression. But slavery is still prevalent and we must acknowledge its implications. We’ll look at The Slavery of Today today on the whole steward.

We have Pastor Roman Folia explain the Gospel of Jesus Christ and how to meet some of the biggest challenges facing us as Christians, today on The Whole Steward.
