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.
