## Resource

Estate planning is often treated as a legal task, but what if instead we viewed it as a stewardship conversation? In this episode, Katie Brubaker and Eric Fleshood discuss Estate Design Services and why planning for the future is about more than documents. From family relationships and legacy to purpose and generosity, they explore how to create a plan that reflects your values and God's calling for your life.
