This live recording of the in person study is an introduction to the Growing Wild curriculum-- "living with the LIVING God"--and how this lifestyle will bring order to your life where chaos threatens to rule. This is only the beginning. You're about to begin looking at life in a whole new LIGHT.

Listen in on Sarah's discussion with Bryant Wood, a participant and collaborator in Growing Wild. Learn what it means to fly as a "free bird" as they reflect on what Freedom means to them, and how it has transformed their daily lives.

Step into your super power, and get ready to discover the fullness of Joy. When we learn the power of the spoken word, we will think twice about complaining.

Rest is the activation of our trust, hope and love in God. It is the gift of quiet, stillness, of reconciliation and restoration. Be inspired to see rest in a new light, and watch how your calendar and to-do list transform when we learn to carefully consider what and who is at the root of our life goals.

The Love of God is like sunlight! And we were made to live in it!...no more than that...we were made to bask in it! And when we attempt to live without it, our lives are highly affected . On this episode, Sarah inspires us to step out of the cool shadows and freely bask in the light of God's Love— a sensation we were designed to experience and greatly enjoy.

Ok, what is hope anyway? In this episode, Sarah explores the biblical understanding of this free gift of HOPE, and how our belief in Jesus actually gives us a "home in Hope" to return to each day; Hope is a home where we restore what the world tries to take from us.

Trust, as we know, is the foundation of all fruitful relationships. During "a season of Trust", as she refers to it, Sarah found herself forming a deep sense of Trust in God which would lead to a the Garden-like relationship we are exploring Growing Wild. In this episode, as we continue to explore life with God in "the wild" , we will explore the trustworthiness of our Heavenly Father, and discuss what it looks like to express our trustworthiness to right back to God, and why that is just as important. Relationships are a two way street, of course.

If trust in general is a tricky thing to tackle for you, get ready for some deep healing, some Holy Spirit tending and eye opening revelation. God longs for us to live in a trusting relationship with Him, and whether we recognize it or not, we long for his trustworthy Companionship, as well.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. Proverbs 3:5-8 ESV

Welcome to "The Garden" where our intimate and personal relationship with God flourishes. The Garden is where divine love, creativity, and true identity all bloom and grow vibrantly.

"Who Am I?" in God's eyes? If you've never considered this question, get ready to open up to a new level of self-awareness. Find your own 'Garden' in the wild, and begin to consider what God says about who you are. This is the Garden today: where He walks with you, and talks with you, and tells you that you are His very own.

And returning to the Garden is like coming home to a delighted Father and a welcome party of fellow believers in the Land of the Living. We're so glad you're here!

We were all created to create with our creator. That's our purpose: to live and function in this loving, collaborative relationship that brings Heaven to Earth. But in order to do such a thing we must know who we are and who we answer to AND who answers to us. On this episode Sarah explores how your Kingdom identity and authority are essential for growing wild.
