In this episode of Dog Walks with God, George shares insights from a beloved Cornish beach where the tides have effortlessly moved what would have taken a human years to shift. Through the metaphor of nature’s own majesty, he explores the difference between striving and surrender, and how aligning with God’s creative flow allows the seemingly impossible to happen with grace and speed. With his children and dogs as companions, George reflects on the invitations life is offering each of us—and how a few small steps in the right direction can bring disproportionate rewards.
