EVERYTHING IS GIFT: The Vineyard, the Owner & What We’re Doing With What Belongs to God (Ep. 32)

THE LIVE IT TODAY RADIO PROGRAM & PODCAST

Greg and Stephanie begin with a deceptively simple truth: nothing is ultimately ours. Everything is gift. Everything has been entrusted to us by God. Based upon Jesus’ parable of the vineyard, they turn the question inward: Have we begun treating God’s gifts as possessions—and what fruit is He finding in the lives He has entrusted to us?

  • The primal temptation: wanting the gift without the Giver—the vineyard without the Son

  • How faithful Christians can still live as “practical atheists” by clinging to control

  • Parenthood as stewardship: Are we forming “successful” children—or saints?

  • Saint Francis of Assisi and the freedom of surrendering the lie: “This is mine.”

  • Why the people and circumstances we call “interruptions” may actually be God arriving

  • The Kingdom question: not “What do I own?” but “What fruit am I producing?”

The final challenge: Identify one thing you’ve been clutching as though it were yours. Open your hands. Give it back to God—deliberately, concretely, by name—and ask Him to make it fruitful.

Truth is a Person. Freedom is found in Him. Live IT. At the heart of IT all is God’s reminder: We Image the Trinity.


That’s the IT.
