Are you in transition? How do you know if you’re entering into a new season of life?
In this episode, Matthew and Shepard Lilley discuss the concept of seasons in both nature and life, exploring how understanding these cycles can lead to a deeper awareness of God's faithfulness and presence.
They emphasize the importance of timing, preparation, and being attuned to the signs of changing seasons, using gardening as a metaphor for life's rhythms and transitions.
The conversation highlights the necessity of recognizing the work required in each season and the spiritual implications of these natural cycles.
Part two of this episode, Fallow Ground and Healthy Rhythms of Rest, will be available exclusively on Presence Pioneers Premium at https://media.presencepioneers.org/s/podcast
