- How the Bible defines stewardship
- How flourishing as humans is a result of good stewardship
- How fear and comparison are traps to managing our gifts and talents well, as mentioned in the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25
- What is holding women back from producing the life and growth that comes with faithfully putting our talents to use
- How Portia has overcome discouragement or exhaustion to persevere in being a good manager of her own gifts and talents
- Why humility is an important characteristic if you want to be a faithful steward
