You’re holding a tiny seed in your hand. It seems insignificant, almost forgettable. Yet, within that seed lies the potential for a forest.
In this episode of As In Heaven, we explore the powerful kingdom principle of sowing and reaping. Whether in life, relationships, or faith, the seeds we sow today will define the harvest we reap tomorrow.
But here’s the challenge – many of us grow frustrated in the waiting season, not seeing the fruit of our efforts. How do we faithfully sow seeds in the waiting season and trust God’s divine timing, even when we don’t immediately see results?
Bryan, Chantal, and Matt shed light on how to faithfully sow, nurture, and trust God’s timing in bringing about a harvest that goes far beyond our expectations.
