Introduction

In the preceding chapters, we established the divine mandate for our development and stewardship, anchored our self-awareness in Christ, and learned to set God-centered goals and priorities. Now, we delve into the practical heart of this course: time management. For the Christian, time management is not merely about efficiency or productivity for its own sake; it is a spiritual discipline of stewarding a precious, non-renewable resource that God has entrusted to us. This chapter will explore the profound biblical call to “redeem the time,” emphasizing its value and our responsibility to use every moment for God’s glory. We will then examine practical time management techniques, always viewed through the lens of biblical wisdom, to help both the Christian believer and the minister live intentionally and maximize their impact for the Kingdom.
