#65: In the Soil — Nourishment for the Inner Man

#67: I Am Doing Something New!

Spring reminds us that God is always bringing life from places that once felt barren. In this episode of the Worth the Risk Podcast, we’re talking about what it means when God says, “See, I am doing a new thing.” Through the lens of Isaiah 43, we unpack how God brings hope, refreshment, and unexpected beauty even in seasons that feel dry, uncertain, or impossible. Sometimes we expect God to move the same way He always has—but often, His new work looks different than we imagined. What if the very place that feels like a wilderness is where He’s preparing rivers to flow? Join us as we talk about trusting God in the unknown, recognizing His hand in new seasons, and learning to see His faithfulness even when the path forward doesn’t look the way we expected. You are not forgotten. God is still making a way.

#66: Beginning to Bloom — Protection & Boundaries

What happens when you step out of a hard season… but you’re not fully strong yet? In this episode, we’re talking about the tender in-between—the season of beginning to bloom. Just like a newly planted tree needs extra care, protection, and intentional boundaries, so do we when God is growing something new in our lives. This isn’t the time to rush—it’s the time to be rooted. We dive into: Why coming out of a “winter” season requires intentional protection The role of a godly husband as a covering and support The importance of wise, truth-speaking friendships How to set healthy time and relational boundaries without losing your call to serve The difference between avoiding people… and loving them like Jesus And ultimately, why you cannot bloom without the Light—Jesus Himself John 8:12 reminds us: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” If you’ve been in a hidden season and feel like God is bringing you into something new, this episode will help you walk forward wisely, gently, and anchored in truth. You don’t have to rush growth. You just need the right conditions.

#65: In the Soil — Nourishment for the Inner Man

What if the most important work God is doing in your life… is happening where no one can see it? In this episode of the Worth the Risk podcast, we’re joined by a special guest, Grace, as we continue our conversation on spiritual seasons—this time focusing on what it means to be in the soil. Before anything grows, before anything is visible, there is a hidden season where the seed is buried, broken open, and deeply rooted. And while this season can feel lonely, dark, and even painful—it is also where everything begins. We talk about:     •    Why the “soil season” is essential for real, lasting growth     •    How hiddenness and loneliness can actually be part of God’s process     •    What it looks like for a seed to be “split open”—and why that matters spiritually     •    The deep intimacy with God that often happens in unseen seasons     •    What it truly means to abide and be nourished at the root Grace shares vulnerably about her own journey in the soil and what the Lord taught her about intimacy, surrender, and trust. Friend, just because it’s hidden doesn’t mean it’s unimportant. The soil is where the roots grow deep… and where life begins.

#64: Welcome to a New Season — Why the In-Between Matters More than You Think

What season are you in right now? In this episode of the Worth the Risk podcast, we’re stepping into a fresh rhythm as we begin exploring spiritual seasons—spring, summer, fall, and winter—and what they reveal about our walk with God. We kick things off by talking about spring and summer seasons—a time of growth, new life, and fresh beginnings. But more importantly, we lean into something many of us find ourselves in… The in-between. That space where:     •    You feel like one season is ending, but the next hasn’t fully begun     •    You’re experiencing both growth and pruning     •    You have one foot in winter and one foot in spring If you’ve ever felt stretched, uncomfortable, or unsure in a transition season—this episode is for you. We talk about:     •    Why you can be in more than one season at once     •    How God is working in both the waiting and the growing     •    The purpose behind seasons that feel unclear or unfinished     •    Why you don’t have to rush out of the in-between And we’ll leave you with a powerful question to reflect on: What season are you in—and what is one step of obedience God is inviting you into right now? Friend, the in-between isn’t wasted. It’s often where God does His deepest work.

#63: Holy Dreams, Hesitant Hearts

God is a Creator — and because we are made in His image, He has placed dreams and creative callings inside each of us. But so often, when He nudges us toward obedience, hesitation creeps in. In this episode, we talk about why holy dreams sometimes meet hesitant hearts — and the subtle things that hold us back from stepping forward in faith. From perfectionism and fear to waiting for clarity and approval, we unpack common roadblocks that keep us stuck instead of moving in obedience. You’ll be encouraged to shift from hesitation to faithfulness, remember that God values obedience over bravery, and take your next small step toward the dream He’s placed in your heart. Because in God’s Kingdom, creation isn’t about scale — it’s about faithfulness. ✨ Plus, don’t forget to join us at Rooted Together on February 27th!
