About this listen
What does biblical stewardship look like in a housing crisis, high interest rates, and a growing Church?
In this episode of The Sowers Podcast, Matt Naismith is joined by Joy Gomersall, Executive Director of Stewards Canada, for a powerful conversation on money, mission, and the future of church buildings in Canada.
Joy shares:
+Why banks often refuse to lend to churches
+How Stewards Canada connects Christian investors with growing congregations
+Real stories of churches expanding their impact through fair mortgage financing
+Why stewardship is about ownership vs. caretaking (Psalm 24:1)
+What excites her most about the next generation of kingdom‑minded investors
Joy grew up attending a Stewards‑funded church in the GTA and now leads the organization that helps churches acquire and expand spaces for ministry. With a background in banking, nonprofit leadership, and executive recruitment, Joy brings a rare blend of financial expertise and pastoral heart.
Whether you’re a church planter, pastor, investor, or Christian thinking deeply about money and mission, this episode will challenge and encourage you.
