Episode Synopsis

What if your greatest spiritual victories are the ones no one else will ever see? Wildflowers bloom abundantly in remote wilderness, offering their beauty freely with no audience but God himself. Their example challenges us to examine the deepest motivations of our hearts.Drawing from Hannah Hurnard's transformative allegory "Hinds' Feet on High Places," today's episode explores the profound lesson of the wildflowers that bloom unseen. I share my personal struggle when God asked me to set aside teaching Bible studies—something I'd done since seventh grade—to focus on homeschooling my daughter. This unexpected direction forced me to confront uncomfortable questions: Whose approval was I really seeking? Could I serve faithfully without recognition? And most importantly: Is God enough for me?Romans 12:1 reminds us to offer our bodies as living sacrifices to God—not as performances for others, but as worship to Him alone. The shepherd tells Much-Afraid that "the fairest beauties in the human soul, its greatest victories and its most splendid achievements are always those which no one else knows anything about." This counter-cultural perspective invites us to find our worth not in others' validation but in quiet obedience to our King.Send us a text Support the show— Thank you for spending this time with me.
