Listen Later

🎙️ Episode Summary:

In this episode, Audra and Reanna invite you into a soul-stirring conversation about the tension between creativity and rest, stewardship and surrender. What does it really mean to abide in Christ—and how do we live fruitful, faithful lives when we feel like we're waiting or wandering?

Audra reminds us that "as the Lord pours into us, we can pour out to others," and that the true reward isn’t the outcome of our prayers, but the person of Jesus Himself. Together, they explore how to discover and develop your God-given gifts while staying rooted in the Vine. From surrendering the good things we hold to recognizing that our hands were made for holy work, this conversation is full of grace, truth, and timely encouragement.
