How do we go from surface-level Christianity to walking with Jesus to walking on water unafraid of the storms because even the wind and waves obey Him? It takes the Holy Spirit's conviction to change us from the inside. When God is in us, the mighty work of sanctification transforms us to true Christlikeness. But we have to listen, submit, and obey.

Our guest Candice is a Christ follower and wife to a patient man who trusts God’s plan. She is a mother to a giant slayer, biblical erudite, and Kingdom Teacher.

Slow growth leads to deep roots when learning to walk in the Way of Christ. Christina Blincoe discusses how sanctification and playing the long game in business intersected on her personal journey as co-owner of Sweet Streams Lavender.
