We continue discussing The harvest of Surrender has always belonged to the One who planted the seed Immature fruit clings to the branch because it isn’t ready. Mature fruit releases because its purpose has been fulfilled. Spiritually, surrender is not weakness—it is the evidence that Christ has completed a deeper work within us.”

If you've been waiting, stretching, or wondering why God hasn't moved yet, this conversation will encourage you to trust the process. The fruit cannot be rushed—but when it is ready, the harvest comes.

I like these but feel free to add or take away. Last day on the water, we have had so much fun and reflecting on what God is saying to our hearts right now. Love you and will be home late Saturday. We will be back on line Wednesday for pod cast and church.

In this episode, we explore how fruit only reaches its purpose through surrender.

Maybe the season you're in feels slow. Maybe God seems to be holding you in place.

Don't mistake delay for abandonment. The fruit is still ripening. When God has completed His work in you, surrender is no longer a struggle—it becomes the natural response of a life that trusts the Gardener.

Our conversation continues in Proverbs 1, focusing on the warning found in verses 10–19. While the passage speaks of a gang enticing someone to follow their path, we discuss how this warning extends beyond natural people and points to the spiritual battle for our attention and agreement.

Every day, voices compete for influence in our lives. The carnal mind, old habits, fear, offense, pride, and worldly thinking all attempt to draw us away from the voice of wisdom. Proverbs calls us to recognize these voices and refuse their invitation.

We explore how believers must learn to discern between the wisdom that comes from God and the voices that appeal to the flesh. We are reminded not to allow flesh and blood, emotions, or natural reasoning to override what the Spirit of God is saying.

Wisdom is still calling. The question is: Which voice are we agreeing with? As sons and daughters of God, we are invited to listen carefully, walk in discernment, and follow the path that leads to life.

This week we dive into Proverbs 1, exploring and unlocking the treasures of true knowledge and how the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Together we discuss hearing God's voice, receiving instruction and choosing his wisdom over the noise of the world. The Passion Translation reads in verse 7, "Stubborn Know-it-alls will never stop to do this, for they scorn true wisdom and knowledge." Wisdom is calling - are we listening?

What do we do when life doesn't unfold the way we expected? In this episode, Dodi and Marlo discuss why Jesus is the only way through disappointment, loss, and confusion. Building on a word from Kaleb, we explore living from our born-again spirit rather than being led by emotions, opinions, or circumstances. Using the example of Judas, we discuss how good intentions and unchecked emotions can lead us away from God's truth. Dodi shares her journey through grief and how God brought healing through a heavenly exchange—not by ignoring pain, but by surrendering it to Him. The enemy wants to keep us trapped on a counterfeit wheel, reliving the same hurts and losses. But Jesus offers freedom, healing, and a new way forward. Join us as we learn how to recognize counterfeit cycles, exchange pain for truth, and step into the freedom God has prepared for us.

We start our conversation by celebrating over 50 podcast episodes. It is not always easy, but God rewards the plodders who keep moving forward one step at a time, even when life feels ordinary, exhausting, or messy.

This episode is a prophetic encouragement to slow down, listen for His voice, and stop disqualifying yourself from what God wants to do through your life. The world is waiting for the sons and daughters of God to arise and become instruments of righteousness in His hands.

Maybe the chore in front of you is not just a chore. Maybe God is speaking.

Through ordinary moments like cleaning a lanai, pulling weeds, repotting plants, scrubbing floors, and organizing life, the Lord reveals deeper spiritual truths about freedom, obedience, surrender, and hearing His voice.

Join us as we discuss breaking the slave mentality, renewing the mind through the Word of God, and recognizing that everyday tasks may carry prophetic purpose far beyond what we first realize.

This conversation encourages listeners to stop disqualifying themselves and begin walking by faith — one step at a time.

You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. You are living proof of His work on the earth.

In this episode, we encourage listeners that baptism opens the heart to hear the Word of God and receive it as truth. Through Luke 7:29, we discuss how rejecting repentance can lead to rejecting the Word itself. In Acts 19, we see that John’s baptism prepared hearts to believe in the Lord Jesus, and when Paul laid hands on them, they received the Holy Spirit, spoke in tongues, and prophesied.

This episode encourages believers not to reject the heavenly realm because of earthly fear, unbelief, or religious rhetoric, but to remain open to the fullness of God’s Word and Holy Spirit.

What do we do in the quiet seasons of life when God feels silent and nothing seems to be moving? In this episode, Dodi and I talk about trusting the Lord in those still moments and not growing weary in well doing. We discuss laying down old habits, false identities, and accusing voices as we learn to live from a higher spiritual place in Christ. Dodi shares her testimony of how she made the resolve to follow the Lord without compromise

when things appear still, but preparation is happening before the next big move. Sometimes God is doing His deepest work in the quiet. As we wait on Him, we are reminded not to conform to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.
