With great power comes great responsibility

What does it mean to steward the gifts God has given us? This conversation invites us into a powerful reflection on responsibility and purpose through the lens of Aaron Judge's remarkable platform. Drawing from Luke 12:48, we're reminded that 'from everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded.' This isn't just about athletic prowess or fame—it's about recognizing that every talent, every opportunity, every sphere of influence we possess comes with divine expectation. Judge's decision to display his favorite Bible verse on his bat at the All-Star Game exemplifies what it looks like to use our platform intentionally. We're challenged to examine our own lives: Are we using our gifts—whether they're leadership abilities, creative talents, relational skills, or simply the breath in our lungs—to point others toward Christ? God doesn't bless us with abilities to inflate our egos or build our personal brands. He equips us so His light can shine through us into a world desperately needing hope. Whether we're standing before millions or serving in the quiet corners of our communities, we're all held to the same standard: maximize what you've been given for His glory, not your own.
