You’re going to love my conversation with Emili Broyles. This episode may just become your favorite! Emili shares from the heart of God on how to fulfill our longings with the plate right in front of us, no matter our circumstances. Her real-life stories will make you laugh, cry, and stand in awe of our great big loving God.

Today, you’ll hear Emili talk about rollercoasters, a ten-course meal with Jesus, answered prayers on airplanes, and her journey toward becoming a nurse midwife. Her story is full of wisdom, humor, and authenticity—and it reminds us that God often just gives us the next step, not the whole path.

I’m so grateful for how God is using Small Beginnings with Sara.

Have you ever dismissed your creative potential because you believed the lie that artists are born, not made? I sure did. For most of my life, I thought I couldn’t even draw stick figures—until age 56 when God interrupted my story in the most unexpected way.

In this special Rooted & Rising conversation with Denise Jackson, I share how one simple painting session turned into a divine encounter where God whispered to my heart: “You’re an artist for Me.” Even though I didn’t believe it at first, I chose to say yes. I believed before I saw—and that one small step changed everything.

Today my paintings reach people all over the world and help fund missions, but the deeper story is this: creativity is our birthright. We are made in the image of the Great Creator (Genesis 1:27), which means creativity already lives inside each of us. Too often, we’ve believed the lie that we don’t have it. My book, Small Beginnings: A Journey to the Impossible, was born out of my desire to help others dream impossible dreams, discover their purpose, and find their people.

I began painting at 56, started golf at 66, and even found new love after loss. My journey is proof that God’s timing is perfect—we never “miss it” when we’re walking with Him. Whether you’re 26 or 86, I want this episode to stir you to ask: What creative potential lies dormant within me? And then, take your first small step to uncover it.

This episode will encourage you to slow down, keep your eyes fixed on the follow-through, and never grow weary in doing good. The seeds you sow today are shaping tomorrow’s harvest.

In this week’s episode of Small Beginnings with Sara, I’m reflecting on a powerful story from Mark 2:1–5 where four friends dug through a roof to bring a paralyzed man to Jesus. Their faith opened the way for a miracle.

It leaves me asking:

• Do I have four friends who would carry me to Jesus when I can’t carry myself?
• Am I willing to be that kind of friend for others?
• What is my faith quotient right now—and could I lend my faith to a friend in need?

Sometimes faith looks like digging through a roof. Sometimes it looks like carrying the weight for someone else until they can meet Jesus face-to-face.

💡 This episode is an invitation to examine the friendships in your life and the kind of friend you’re willing to be.

In Exodus 35, we read about men and women whose hearts were stirred and whose spirits were made willing—so willing, they brought their finest treasures to God for the work of the Tabernacle. Their generosity wasn’t forced. It was a response to His stirring.

This week, I’m asking myself—and you—some challenging questions:
 Am I holding anything back from God? My time, my resources, my relationships? Do I sense a new stirring in my spirit? And if so, will I act on it?

We’ll explore what it means to live with a willing heart, how to activate the Spirit of God within us, and why our generosity—whether in service, creativity, or resources—is a direct reflection of our trust in Him.

If you’re ready for God to move your heart and stir your spirit into action, this episode will help you step out in faith and say, “Yes, Lord—here’s my all.”

This week, I’m leaning into one of my favorite promises from Jeremiah 33:3—“Call to Me, and I will answer you.”

But here’s the question: Are we still calling?
Are we slowing down long enough to invite God into the hidden places of our hearts—the spaces where we desperately need wisdom, peace, or direction?

In this episode, I’m sharing how God’s voice met me in both the ordinary and the miraculous:
 ✨ Folding laundry with a friend in need
 ✨ Learning to praise before the answer shows up
✨ And even how a round of golf turned into a moment of gratitude

If you’ve been longing to hear God more clearly—or you just need a fresh reminder that He is still speaking—this episode will stir your hope and remind you to call on the One who always answers.

📖 Anchor Scriptures:
 Jeremiah 33:2–3
 John 11:41

🎧 Listen now and be reminded:
 He still hears. He still speaks. He’s still revealing hidden things.

This week, I’m asking a question that’s been stirring in my spirit: Do I need to see something before I believe it—or does belief come first?

Psalm 27:13 says, “I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.” That kind of faith—believing before we see—isn't always easy. But it’s where hope begins.

In this episode, I reflect on what it means to nourish our faith in the middle of the storm, to choose belief over despair, and to declare God’s goodness even when it hasn’t shown up yet. I’ll share the questions I’ve been wrestling with this week:

• Do my circumstances determine my faith?
• How can I believe first, and watch as His goodness unfolds?
• Is God really good, all the time?

If your heart feels weary or your faith feels shaky, I pray this episode encourages you to press in—to believe before you see.

Because God’s goodness is coming. Right here. In the land of the living.

✨ Listen now and be reminded: the reward of faith is seeing what we believe.
