Episode 387: The Economy of Grace

In this episode, Tim and Sara unpack one of Jesus' most practical and challenging teachings from Matthew 6:19–24. Through this passage, they explore what it means to live within God's economy of grace: a way of life where grace, not greed, defines our values, vision, and priorities.

They begin with Jesus' reminder that "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also," inviting listeners to consider what truly captures their attention and shapes their lives. Together, they discuss how generosity, focus, and trust reveal where our hearts reside and how our vision determines our path. From the dangers of divided loyalty to the freedom of serving one master, the conversation highlights the difference between accumulation and participation, between chasing what fades and investing in what lasts.

Drawing from Wesleyan wisdom, they remind us that grace refocuses our hearts, clears our vision, and calls us to steward not just our money but our time, attention, and relationships as gifts of God's love. This episode ends with practical reflections and an invitation: What's capturing your attention? Who, or what, is shaping your choices? Listen in as Tim and Sara help you discover how living in God's economy transforms ordinary stewardship into an expression of grace.

The Wesleyan Way of Leadership

Scripture: Hebrews 12:1–2

Leadership is not a sprint. It's a marathon of grace, perseverance, and faithful endurance. In this episode, Tim and Sara explore the Wesleyan way of leadership through the lens of Hebrews 12:1–2, focusing on three core practices that help Christ-centered leaders stay grounded for the long run: vision, adaptability, and accountability.

You'll hear how vision keeps us focused on Christ and the mission, how adaptability helps us lay aside what no longer fits so we can follow the Spirit's leading, and how accountability reminds us that we don't run the race alone.

Through stories of perseverance, from Admiral Jim Stockdale to Olympic runner Derek Redmond, Tim and Sara remind us that leadership is about helping everyone finish the race faithfully, not just finishing first.

Listen and reflect:

• What race are you running right now?
• What weights are slowing you down?
• Who's running beside you and cheering you on?
• Where are your eyes fixed?

Remember: You're surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, strengthened by grace, and never running alone—Christ runs with you. Listen now at transformingmission.org/386
