The 5 Marks of a Wise Digital Steward
A framework for Christian leaders navigating identity, technology, and calling in the AI age.
Developed by Doug Anderson, founder of WisdomBank Coaching, as a practical framework for Christian leaders navigating technology and the AI age.
1. Know who you are in Christ
Identity is the foundation. Before you optimize your workflow, clarify your identity — strategy without identity leads to burnout, no matter how good the tools are.
2. Steward technology wisely — don't be enslaved by it
AI is a tool for stewardship, not a master. It must serve human sovereignty and the Imago Dei, not replace discernment.
3. Live with presence
To God, to family, to purpose. The goal of technology is not efficiency for its own sake — it's freedom to be present to what matters.
4. Act with courage
Missional engagement doesn't pause because the tools changed. Wise stewardship still requires bold, present action in the world.
5. Build culture
Through art, design, stories, and systems — creativity is discipleship. How you build reflects who you're becoming.
