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.
