Ep 104: Break Up Fallow Ground
In today's episode, we’re diving into a topic that touches each of us: the importance of breaking up our fallow ground. Each of us has uncultivated ground in our lives that we have yet to put to productive use. Waiting can prevent us from cultivating our unplowed fields. We tend to postpone what needs to be done, putting our lives on pause in certain areas. Sometimes, we indulge in unwholesome habits, justifying them by the seeming lack of answers to our prayers. But God calls us to cultivate our lives, to sow seeds of righteousness, and to prepare our hearts for the blessings He has in store. Join me as we discover practical steps to break up the unplowed ground in our lives and embrace the fruitful harvest that awaits us. Hosea 10:12 (EASY): "Be like a farmer who plants good seed. Plant things that are good and right. Then your harvest will be faithful love. Plough the hard ground and prepare it for the LORD to bless you. It is time for you to turn back to the LORD. Then he will bless you with good things, like rain that falls on the ground!"

Ep. 99: Perfect Timing From Behind the Scenes
Join us as we explore the concept of God's perfect timing and how it is intricately connected to His watchful oversight from behind the scenes in today's episode. Have you ever felt like God is quietly watching 'behind the scenes,' and questioned whether His timing is off? Rest assured, God’s timing is never off.
