Abstract: This paper examines Biblical mandates as essential frameworks for stewardship and the empowerment of youth. Biblical teachings emphasise stewardship as a vital responsibility, underscoring the need for individuals to manage resources wisely and make meaningful contributions to their communities. Through the examination of significant Biblical texts, the desk research rooted in Empowerment Theory and Stewardship Theory underscores the potential of faith-based frameworks to foster comprehensive youth development strategies. The study examines concrete examples of faith-based initiatives that integrate these principles into actionable programs, fostering self-sufficiency, community involvement, and sustainable development. The combination of theological insights and modern development theories creates a framework that highlights youth development aligned with Biblical principles, offering a model that can be adopted by faith-based organisations, policymakers, and community leaders. The findings underscore the important influence of Biblical mandates in shaping fair and efficient frameworks for stewardship and youth empowerment, thereby aiding sustainable and inclusive youth development.
