Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that what feels like loss in our lives is often the soil where God is producing something greater. We begin in 2 Chronicles 25, where King Amaziah wrestles with the tension between obedience and cost — learning that when we trust God, He can give us far more than what we think we’ve lost. From there, we reflect on Acts 20, where Paul models unwavering faith and obedience even in the face of hardship, reminding us that our lives are not our own but are meant to pour into others.

As we continue our study in Crushing: When God Turns Pressure into Power by T.D. Jakes, we explore what it means when God “makes wine” out of our crushing seasons. Just like Christ, who paid a personal cost for our transformation, we’re reminded that the process of becoming who God has called us to be comes at a price — but the outcome is purpose, maturity, and fruit that blesses others. If you’ve been walking through a season of pressure or loss, this episode will help you see that God is still at work in the pressing, and that what He’s making from your life is worth every drop. 🍇
