Lamenting Old Seasons
Starting Season 3 with a few puns.
As the literal seasons change in our year, new seasons occur in my life, and a brand new season of the podcast. The season Trifecta.
I know I'm not alone, I know many of us are experiencing our own versions of change. Maybe some positive changes, maybe some not so exciting. We all have permission to run to the Father with all of our stuff. He longs to be gracious to us.
Mentioned in today's episode:
- Plead the Blood by Cody Carnes, Brandon Lake, and Chris Davenport

Ladies, the enemy is LOUD sometimes. and He has it out for us!!! The enemy comes only to kill, steal, and destroy. BUT JESUS came so that we may have life abundantly!

Brandi shared her heart in this interview. Her authenticity and desire for the Lord to shape her and immerse her in His word, love, and truth was so evident! What a beautiful story of redemption and obedience to The Shepard's voice!
I left this interview feeling edified and inspired.
We face ups and downs in this life but God is good! He is faithful and can be trusted!
Not JUST a Single Mom!
Emily's testimony is such a beautiful picture of how gracious God is, was, and always will be.
