Or
a million little opportunities.
What if the most transformative moments in your life aren’t the loud, obvious ones—but the quiet, painful, in-between spaces?
In this episode of Taking the Tov Way, Maya walks through the tension of grief, surrender, and trust as seen in Abraham’s story in Genesis 21. Together, we explore what it means to release what we’ve held onto, how God meets us in unexpected ways, and why even the hardest seasons are filled with opportunities to trust Him.
From the grief of letting go of Ishmael…
to the unexpected reminder through Abimelech…
to the act of worship in planting a tamarisk tree…
This episode is an invitation to recognize the “million little opportunities” in your life to surrender, trust, and worship—even in the middle of pain.
God is with you in all that you do.
