🎧 Listen Now Even when the garden feels tired and the season isn’t what you imagined, God is still calling you to grow. In this week’s episode, we step into the “W” of our Fall Growth Arch — Work What You’ve Got — and learn how to find peace, purpose, and beauty right where we are. 🌾 Episode Overview By mid-fall, the garden looks weary: vines are fading, the soil feels dry, and energy runs low. But this is exactly when God invites us to keep showing up — to harvest faithfully, compost what’s fading, and replant hope for what’s ahead. In this tender, practical, and reflective episode, Sanda shares her own journey of learning to thrive in unexpected soil — from suburban clay beds and small harvests to deeper lessons of contentment and stewardship. Through Scripture, soil, and soul work, you’ll discover that “working what you’ve got” is not about striving — it’s about sacred sustainability. 🌱 In This Episode, You’ll Learn: 🌿 How Jeremiah 29:5–11 calls us to plant and prosper even in imperfect circumstances 🌾 The power of gratitude in harvesting what’s left, even when yields are small 🪱 Why composting teaches us that nothing surrendered to God is wasted 🌸 How to replant hope through fall gardening — sowing greens, garlic, and cover crops 🕊️ Practical ways to make peace with limits and embrace the grace of “enough” ✨ Three Rooted Practices you can start this week to cultivate both garden and soul 🧺 Rooted Practice Challenge This week, try the three steps from today’s episode: Harvest Faithfully — Gather what’s still growing and give thanks.
