Episode Summary
In Episode 4 of 27 Good Podcast, Patty and Amy kick off the new year anchored in Galatians 6:9, which says, “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” This verse sets the tone for an honest conversation about weariness, faithfulness, and continuing to show up when life feels heavy and progress feels slow.
They reflect on the realities of caregiving, motherhood, marriage, and emotional exhaustion, and why not every year is meant for thriving. Some seasons are about endurance. The conversation moves into gentle reflections on goals, choosing a word for the year, and why discipline does not have to feel harsh or restrictive. Instead, it can be an act of grace, stewardship, and freedom.
This episode is not about pressure or perfection. It is a reminder that God sees the quiet faithfulness, that growth is happening even when it is unseen, and that the harvest comes in time when we do not give up.

- Starting the year with Galatians 6:9 and why it feels timely
