Part of the mission of Kitchen Stewardship is to continuously be making small changes to work toward the goal of truly being a good steward of all four:
Kitchen Stewardship’s Monday Missions are small challenges that will help rookies to healthy living find their way without stressing out or giving up!
Beginner Baby Steps: This is a small change that can usually be made without buying anything new, making a huge change in routine, or even thinking something through very hard. If you’re low on energy or don’t like changes, accept a Baby Step.
Mid Range Making Strides: You may have to put some thought into this level of commitment; you may need to forage for a resource or item in your home. You might want to think about this level for a few days and gear up mentally before trying it. Bravo for accepting the challenge of Making Strides!
Advanced Leap of Faith: These are the big dogs, the missions that take some research, some multi-step processes, or a rather major change in routine. Don’t be afraid of a Leap of Faith, but at some point God may call you to change something drastic in your kitchen. I’ll show you how!
