Hey, it's Austin Gardner. In over 50 years of global ministry and training leaders, I’ve discovered that the most dangerous person I face isn’t an enemy across the world, it’s the man I see in the mirror every morning.

In this episode, we’re looking at Ruth chapter 4 to uncover a word that destroys more leaders and ministries than any scandal: "Mine."We often protect our resources, our reputations, and our legacies, but the story of the Kinsman Redeemer shows us a different path. While "Mr. So-and-so" was so focused on guarding his own inheritance that his name was forgotten by history, Boaz calculated the cost of doing nothing and ended up in the lineage of Jesus Christ.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The difference between stewardship and hoarding.
• Why biblical leadership requires builders of others' names, not our own.
• How to identify your "mine"—whether it’s your time, your platform, or your comfort.
• The path to real biblical contentment through open hands.

Stop calculating what it costs to give and start calculating what it costs to do nothing.Listen and subscribe for daily encouragement and honest hope:
