What happens after you say yes…

and after you’ve waited?

What happens when obedience stops feeling exciting

and starts feeling heavy?

In this third episode of our Advent series, we sit with a question many of us don’t talk about out loud:

How do you carry what God gave you?

Because every calling, every promise, every holy assignment comes with weight.

The weight of waiting.

The weight of misunderstanding.

The weight of carrying something from God that no one else can see yet.

Through the lens of Mary’s story, we explore what obedience really costs—and how God never asks us to carry alone. You’ll be reminded that feeling the weight doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. Sometimes it means you’re doing something sacred.

If you’re holding a calling, a dream, or a quiet promise that feels heavier than you expected…

this episode is for you.

Take a breath.

Lean in.

And let this question meet you right where you are.

✨ Encouragement for your spirit. Wisdom for your walk.

🎧 Listen now to pause, refocus, and rediscover the peace that comes from thinking God’s thoughts about you.

What if the hardest part of obedience isn’t saying yes —

but everything that happens after?

In today’s episode, we step into the quiet, stretching, holy middle of Mary’s story — the months between her yes and the moment the promise finally took shape. It’s the part of obedience we rarely talk about… the part where nothing seems to be moving, doubts get loud, and you’re holding something from God that no one else can see yet.

Mary’s waiting wasn’t glamorous.

It wasn’t public.

It wasn’t easy.

It was lonely.

It was uncertain.

And it required a kind of courage that only grows in the dark.

But it was in that in-between place — the space between promise and fulfillment — that God was doing His deepest work.

In this episode, we explore:

✨ What Mary’s hidden months teach us about waiting with faith

✨ Why waiting is not punishment, but preparation

✨ How God strengthens you in the silence

✨ The role of community and confirmation (Mary & Elizabeth)

✨ How to recognize the quiet signs of God’s movement

✨ Why your middle is not wasted — it’s holy ground

If you’re in a season where God feels quiet…

If your yes has led you into uncertainty…

If you’re wondering whether God is still working…

This episode will remind you: He is.

Right in the middle of your waiting.

Right in the places that feel slow, silent, or unseen.

Listen in — and let this Advent reflection strengthen your hope while you wait.

✨ Encouragement for your spirit. Wisdom for your walk.

🎧 Listen now to pause, refocus, and rediscover the peace that comes from thinking God’s thoughts about you.

What if the next chapter of your life doesn’t begin with clarity…

but with courage?

In this opening episode of our four-part Christmas series, we step into the real weight and wonder of Mary’s story — not the polished version we grew up hearing, but the vulnerable, human moment where God asked a young girl to trust Him with an assignment that made no sense.

Before the miracle.

Before the manger.

Before anyone celebrated her.

Mary stood face-to-face with a choice:

Say yes to God… or say yes to fear.

And she had every logical reason to walk away.

Her reputation. Her engagement. Her safety.

The whispers. The judgment. The risk.

But her “yes” wasn’t rooted in understanding — it was rooted in surrender.

And that’s where this episode meets you.

If you’ve ever felt God pulling you toward something that scares you…

If obedience has ever cost you comfort, certainty, or approval…

If you’re walking through a season where your “yes” feels heavier than you expected…

This episode is for you.

Together we’ll explore:

• The unseen weight behind Mary’s decision
• Why God often invites us into callings that stretch our understanding
• How to trust God when the assignment doesn’t make sense
• What obedience looks like after the yes — in the questions, the quiet, and the tension

By the end, you’ll be asking yourself a life-changing question:

Am I willing to say yes even when it costs me?

Because Mary’s yes changed everything…

and so will yours.

✨ Encouragement for your spirit. Wisdom for your walk.
