HITTING THE TARGET
Stewardship
Not everyone has their life’s purpose figured out by 10—or 26, or even 40! And that’s perfectly fine. Finding purpose isn’t like ordering pizza—it’s a process. And that’s where Stewards.ONE comes in. We don’t just feed students with information and hope something sticks. We help them see the world through trustworthy eyes. Eyes that can differentiate between vain and Real. “His sight never swerved, nor did it go wrong” (53:17).
Eyes of the one who embody praiseworthy qualities —truthfulness, mercy, courage, integrity, loyalty, and excellence. “Indeed, you are beyond tremendous character” (68:4).
100% Love
True love is selfless and transformative, radiating mercy, compassion, and unwavering commitment to uplifting others.
100% Service
Service is the ultimate expression of love—giving your time, skills, and energy to support a vision you love, with no ulterior motive, driven solely by the pursuit of truth and meaningful impact.
