What does organising a spice drawer have to do with dying to self?

In this episode, we talk about bringing order to chaos, what the Genesis creation account teaches us about containment before creating, and why surrendering to God is rarely a one-time event.

Whether you’re wrestling with waiting on a promise, navigating spiritual dryness (acedia), or learning how to stay "in the pocket" of God's will, I hope this honest conversation encourages you to keep going.
