Transformative Conversations for Personal Growth

What if stewardship is not about money at all but about how you live?In this deeply moving episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, Tobi sits down with Larry O’Nan, a global leader in faith-based leadership and the author of Intentional Living and Giving. With more than five decades of experience empowering Christian leaders worldwide, Larry reveals the spiritual shift that changed everything for him in 1972 and why it still matters today.This conversation goes far beyond fundraising. It explores lifestyle stewardship, grief, generosity, risk, and what it truly means to become an Authorised Wealth Distributor in a world driven by fear and scarcity.Larry shares how losing his wife of 45 years reshaped his understanding of purpose, how biblical stewardship is woven throughout Scripture, and why many believers unknowingly live beneath their spiritual inheritance.This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who feels stuck, sidelined, or disconnected from their deeper calling.You were not born again to survive.You were born again to thrive.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Intentional Living07:19 Heartbreak and Resilience07:43 The Turning Point in 197221:51 Understanding Lifestyle Stewardship33:21 Becoming an Authorised Wealth Distributor38:01 Navigating Life's Curves and Disappointments42:36 The Spirit of Generosity and Wealth Distribution48:11 Making Prudent Stewardship Decisions54:34 Becoming an Authorised Wealth DistributorWhat You Will Discover in This Episode• Why intentional living is the foundation of a fulfilled life• How lifestyle stewardship changes the way you see money, time, and purpose• The difference between prosperity thinking and biblical stewardship• How grief can become a doorway into deeper calling• What it means to be an Authorised Wealth Distributor• How generosity unlocks freedom and joy• Why fear and confusion keep so many believers trapped• How to align your faith with practical daily stewardshipPowerful Quotes“Pain is gold.”“Life is not lived in Disneyland.”“I want to bless somebody else.”“You were born again to thrive.”About Larry O’NanLarry O’Nan is a globally respected leader in intentional living and lifestyle stewardship.
