December can feel loud on the outside and thin on the inside. In this episode, I invite you into the quiet winter garden—a place many of us are tempted to rush past or label as “unproductive.” Together, we sit with Scripture, Advent waiting, and the slow wisdom of the soil to remember this truth: stillness is not stagnation, and winter is not failure. When the garden grows quiet, God is often doing His deepest, most foundational work. If your soul feels bare, hesitant, or simply tired right now, this episode is an invitation to listen—without striving—and to trust that courage, clarity, and fearless faith are already being planted beneath the surface 🌱 In this episode, we explore: Why winter quiet is essential for spiritual formation What Scripture teaches us about stillness, trust, and courage How Advent waiting shapes a fearless faith A gentle guided practice for listening to God in this season 🤍 Continue Growing with Me If this episode met you in a quiet or weary place, I’d love to stay connected with you. ✨ Join my email list for seasonal encouragement, garden reflections, and faith-filled rhythms delivered gently to your inbox.✨ Get my e-book, Rooted in Grace—a companion for growing faith slowly and faithfully, season by season, through Scripture, story, and garden wisdom.
