Investing Part 4 | Practical Steps

How do we take meaningful next steps with our investments?

In this final episode of the Investing series, we bring the entire framework together into a clear and practical pathway for action. After tracing the five tiers of capital and the four transitions that move resources between them, we turn our attention to understanding our own landscape—where our dollars currently sit, what purpose they serve, and which transition might be the right next step. This conversation is less about mastering the whole picture at once and more about making one faithful move toward alignment.

In this episode, we explore:

• How to map every account and asset into the five tiers: shadowed, illuminated, aligned, committed, and activated.

• How each transition—investigation, harmonization, release, and activation—creates a distinct next step.

• Why focusing on just one account or asset can open meaningful movement.

• Practical actions for each transition, from using screening tools to setting finish lines to deploying committed capital.

As we gain clarity on where our resources live today, we open the door to steady, Spirit-led steps that bring every part of our stewardship into deeper alignment with God’s kingdom.
