The Garden episodes

  • If You Build It, You Have to Maintain It

    What are you building your life on, and who's responsible for keeping it standing? In this episode, we're diving into Psalm 127 and Ecclesiastes 11 to talk about the importance of allowing God to be the foundation of what we're building, being faithful with what He's entrusted to us, and trusting Him with the outcomes we can't control. Because we're called to build, plant, and nurture, but we're not meant to do it all in our own strength.

  • Why Do We Downplay the Goodness of God?

    In this episode, we’re talking about why we so often downplay the goodness of God in our lives. Whether it’s out of fear of seeming prideful, a desire to be humble, or simply overlooking His hand in our everyday blessings, we can miss opportunities to share what He’s done. We’ll talk about learning to recognize His faithfulness, giving Him the glory, and remember that every good and perfect gift comes from Him.

  • Taking Offense: Looking at the Heart Behind the Hurt

    What does it look like when we take offense, and how do we know when hurt has started to shape the way we see God, others, and even ourselves? In this episode, we’re talking about the three sides of offense: when we’re offended by God, when others hurt us, and when we’re the ones who hurt someone else. We’ll look at what Scripture says about our reactions, our expectations, and the importance of examining our own hearts.

  • We're All Just Walking Each Other Home

    In 2 Timothy 4:1–8, Paul's final charge to Timothy reminds us what it means to live faithfully and finish the race well. We're called to stand firm in God's Word, speak truth in love, fulfill the ministry He's entrusted to us, and remain faithful in every season. Our walk with Jesus was never meant to be lived in isolation. We're all growing, learning, and helping one another along the way, pointing each other back to the One who brings us home.

  • The Weight of Unforgiveness

    Unforgiveness can leave us carrying pain that God never intended us to hold. In this episode, we talk about the danger of bitterness, how the enemy can use unforgiveness to steal our peace, and what it really means to forgive. Forgiveness doesn’t mean what happened was okay—it means choosing freedom over carrying the weight of what someone else did. Because we don’t forgive because people deserve it; we forgive because we’ve been forgiven.

  • There is Purpose in the Valley

    What if the valley you’re praying to leave is actually the place God is protecting you? Sometimes we see valleys as places of weakness, punishment, or abandonment, but God can use them as places of protection, growth, and deeper intimacy with Him. In this episode, we’ll talk about learning to trust God in the valley, remembering His faithfulness, and finding comfort in knowing that even when we don’t understand where we are, He is still with us.

  • The Joy he Can't Give

    True joy isn't found in temporary pleasure, circumstances, or the things the world promises will satisfy us. In this episode, we unpack the difference between pleasure and biblical joy, why the enemy can counterfeit but never create true joy, and how lasting joy is found in the presence of God.

  • Peace Isn’t An Address

    What happens when God calls you to leave something good? In this episode, I’m sharing my experience of leaving the home, family, and life I had always known when I got married. It was exciting, but it was also incredibly hard. Through that transition, God began teaching me that peace and safety were never found in a place or circumstance—they were found in Him. Sometimes growing means leaving something good and trusting God to lead us into something new, unfamiliar, and just as good. Because peace isn’t an address, and our true refuge is always found in Him.

  • More Than a Believer: Becoming a Disciple

    What does it really mean to be a disciple of Jesus? Discipleship is more than simply believing in Jesus or knowing Scripture—it’s a life of following Him. In this episode, we’ll look at what it means to love, learn, live, and lead as a disciple, allowing our relationship with Christ to shape the way we love others, live faithfully, serve, and participate in God’s mission.

  • The Ministry of Making Room

    In this episode, we’re talking about biblical hospitality and what it really looks like in everyday life. Looking at Acts 28 and the “unusual kindness” shown to Paul, we’ll explore how hospitality is an opportunity for ministry, why it doesn’t have to be extravagant or perfect, and how the little things we do can make a bigger impact than we realize.
