To fulfill our role as disciples and stewards, Jesus invites us to engage in three fundamental actions: self-denial, carrying our cross, and following Him. As we do this, we gain a deeper understanding of who Jesus is and become more attuned to His voice, discerning the myriad of different ways He calls us to share our time and talents. Embracing a life of sacrifice and love, which is inherent to stewardship, empowers us to actively contribute to the advancement of God's kingdom through our actions.
