  1. Know Your Season!

    Show notes

    There is a time for everything. When we understand what season we are in, it will clarify what we need to say yes to and no to. God ordains specific seasons in our lives. He is fully sovereign and is in full control. Our job is to trust, prepare, and pray for God to give us discernment so that we can better understand the season we find ourselves in.

    I pray this message stirs courage in your soul.
