Скачать или смотреть Interview with Marcus Costantino - The Family's Role in God's Dominion Mandate

As we are very close to our book launch in just a few weeks, I want to introduce you to our co-author, Marcus Costantio. Together with Sean Morris we wrote the book Generational Wealth- The 7-Capital Framework for Building Families That Endure, and it will be available whereever books are sold sometime in January.

In this conversation with Marcus, we explore what it truly means to live as formed people—formed by the Church, by Scripture, and by a long obedience in the same direction. We talk about the arc of the Christian life and how it’s shaped by our response to timeless questions: What have we been entrusted with? Who is my neighbor? And what do we believe about where all of this is headed?

At the heart of our discussion is the call to exercise authority and stewardship in the world God has made—what Scripture introduces in the beginning and what many call the dominion mandate. We wrestle with the idea that while we may bristle at the word mandate, it is fully within God’s authority to command His people to work, to build, and to bless in ways that tangibly affect the lives of others. In that sense, we consider how the dominion mandate and the Great Commission are not in competition, but deeply connected.

Throughout the conversation, Marcus returns us to a posture of humility—one that neither presumes nor pretends—and how that posture shapes our understanding of influence, leadership, and even the unfolding of history itself. He shares how he’s walking these convictions out in his own family, offering a picture of lived, multigenerational faithfulness.

We also discuss his book, What’s Next?, and the wisdom of spending your thirties preparing for the rest of your life—recognizing that real transitions take time, habits take decades, and every generation, often in every decade of life, wrestles with the same haunting question: Now what? or What's Next?

This episode calls out passivity, awakens agency, and reminds us that we are not only sons and daughters of God—but AGENTS on His behalf. It’s a charge to stop waiting for permission, to act, to build, and to exercise governance and rule faithfully in every season of life.

Let’s get to my conversation with Marcus Costantino.
