Episode Summary: Have you ever felt overlooked, forgotten, or like you’ve been left unpruned for far too long? In this heartfelt episode of Rooted + Rested, I share the story of an unexpected moment in the OARDC gardens when the Lord reminded me that—even when life feels messy and wild—you are still His favorite in the garden.
We’ll talk about what it means to be fully seen, deeply loved, and chosen by God—right where you are. Whether you’re in a season of flourishing or feeling tangled and weary, His love for you never wavers.
I’ll also invite you to pause and breathe in this truth… maybe while taking a slow walk in your garden or simply sitting in a quiet space. Let it settle in: You are His favorite.
