Hothouse

What happens to our faith when life unfolds in ways we never expected—and don't understand?

Kendra's life took an unexpected turn at just 19 years old. Yet through challenges she never would have chosen, her story has continued to be marked by faith, creativity, compassion, education, service, and a God who has remained present through it all.

In this deeply personal conversation, Tracy and Kendra talk honestly about disappointment, unanswered questions, identity, and what it means to keep trusting God when His plan doesn't resemble ours.

This isn't a conversation about pretending difficult things aren't difficult. It's about discovering that a life can look very different from the one we imagined and still be deeply meaningful, fruitful, and beautiful.

Because when life doesn't look like the plan, God is still at work.

We use the word flourish to describe everything from success and happiness to simply having a really good season. But what does God mean when He says we can flourish?

In the very first episode of The Hothouse, Tracy is joined by her daughter and occasional co-host, Sophie, to look beyond our everyday definitions of flourishing and explore what Scripture actually says. Together, they talk about roots, fruit, pruning, abiding, and why some of the most important growth in our lives happens where no one can see it.

Psalm 92 promises that those who are planted in the house of the Lord will flourish—and even continue bearing fruit in later seasons. So perhaps flourishing isn't about having everything go right. Perhaps it's about where—and in Whom—we're planted.

Welcome to The Hothouse, where we're nourished to flourish.
