What if the season you’re asking God to get you out of is the very season He’s using to work on you?

In Week One of DON’T WASTE THE SEASON, Pastor Hasani challenges us to stop judging every season by how it feels and start asking a better question: What is God trying to show me before this season changes?

Through Ecclesiastes 3, Ephesians 5, and Proverbs 1, this conversation explores how difficult seasons can reveal patterns, expose ignored wisdom, develop maturity, and show us what needs our attention right now.

Before you rush into what’s next, slow down and pay attention to what God may be doing in you today.

You can be so focused on getting out of the season that you miss what God is trying to get into you through it.

Let His Love Change You | Stand Firm, Love Well – Week 3

You can stand firm without becoming cold, and you can love well without compromising truth. Let His love change you from the inside out.
