In this raw and heartfelt episode, Nancy reminds us of the critical distinction between source and resource. While only God is our source, people—rightly ordered—are a key part of His divine design. From the depths of personal experience and scriptural insight, Nancy explores how the Father matures His sons by severing us from soulish dependency on others, only to then send us into deeper, truer fellowship within the body of Christ. This isn’t about people-pleasing or emotional entanglement—this is about learning to love as God loves and to walk shoulder to shoulder, rooted in Him.
She issues a clarion call for intentional, Spirit-led connection in the days ahead. Whether you are building, waiting, enduring, or scattered to the ends of the earth, this episode is a timely invitation to honor the people God gives for your life—and to become one of those people for others.
Thanks for Listening!

In today’s episode, Nancy continues reading Chapter 12 of The Normal Christian Life by Watchman Nee, diving into the section titled “Natural Energy in the Work of God.” This powerful reading confronts one of the most subtle dangers in Christian life—relying on our natural gifts, talents, or intellect to do spiritual work, rather than depending wholly on the life of Christ within.
It’s not about what we can do for God, but about whether what we do originates from Him. Nancy invites us to ask: Are we simply changing the subject of our interests, or have we truly shifted the source of our power? This is a call to stop relying on soul strength and instead allow the cross to bring death to what is merely natural, so resurrection life can flow. The episode is a strong call to discern the origin of our energy and let God’s light search us—because only what begins in Him will remain.
