FAQ
Questions worth asking.

What is STEWARD?
No. STEWARD is a practical formation companion for whole-life stewardship. We use modern tools behind the curtain, but the focus is your life with God — work, relationships, money, body, mind, and service — not the technology.
No. STEWARD is for entrepreneurs, employees, parents, leaders, retirees, students, and ministry servants. Stewardship covers your work, calling, family, money, time, health, influence, and legacy — whoever you are.
Open is the free front door — the assessment, your compass, and one faithful next step. Compass is the ongoing subscription that walks with you weekly. Foundations is a 12-week guided journey (group or solo) that bundles Compass for the 12 weeks.
No. STEWARD offers discipleship and formation — reflection, Scripture, and reachable next steps. For professional financial, legal, medical, or counseling matters, please consult a qualified professional.
We use the World English Bible (WEB), a trusted modern-English translation that is fully in the public domain. That means Scripture can be quoted, shared, and read freely across the site and the app — no licensing, no per-verse permissions. Every verse on STEWARD is labeled (WEB) so you always know the source.
Pricing & founding members
Open is free, forever. Compass is $79/year or $8.99/month at founding pricing (regular $99/yr · $12.99/mo). Foundations is a $79 one-time founding price (regular $99), with group/church seats from $59/seat.
If you join Compass during the founding window, you keep founding pricing for as long as your subscription stays active — even when the regular price rises after public launch. Foundations founding pricing is locked at the one-time price you paid.
Yes. You can upgrade from monthly to annual anytime from the billing portal. Annual is the recommended choice — formation rewards consistency, and annual is meaningfully cheaper per month.
No. Facilitators lead free when they bring a paid cohort. In the spirit of Financial Peace University coordinators — the leader gets full access at no charge so they can focus on shepherding the group.
Yes. Any individual or group seat can be purchased on behalf of someone else.
Scholarship & access
Apply for a scholarship. No one is turned away for cost alone. Scholarships are full-access entitlement grants — same Compass, same Foundations, no asterisks — funded by paid subscribers, churches, and sponsors.
Short and dignity-preserving. Three fields: your name, email, and a couple of sentences about what STEWARD would help you steward. A real person reads every application.
A portion of every paid Compass and Foundations plan funds the scholarship pool. Church and sponsor partnerships add to it. Generosity is built into the business, not a bolt-on charity line.
How the practice works
STEWARD is designed to shrink the step, not shame you. If a whole step is too far, we offer a half-step or quarter-step and reframe — never 'you're doing great, keep going' when you're not.
Yes. Journals, reflections, and personal entrustments are private by default. Group sharing in Foundations is always explicit and opt-in, per item.
No. Each area includes anchor Scriptures and short, accessible reflections. If you're new to Scripture, STEWARD will meet you where you are.
Open takes about 3 minutes for the assessment, then one small next step at a time. Compass works in roughly 15–20 minutes a week. Foundations is one session a week for 12 weeks plus a few minutes of midweek action.
Privacy, data & roadmap
We use it to personalize your experience and improve STEWARD. We don't sell it. We don't share your reflections. Email is used only for the communications you opt into — and you can opt out anytime.
No. STEWARD is rooted in historic Christian conviction about whole-life stewardship and is built to serve believers across traditions. Scripture is treated reverently and quoted in context.
Two more phases — earned, not assumed. STEWARD Table for churches and groups to run Foundations together with shared insight, and STEWARD Legacy Lab for premium discernment around major life transitions. Both ship after the core is healthy and used.
