“I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.” — Philippians 4:13
Fall is a season of slowing down, clearing out, and trusting God for new beginnings. In this episode, we continue the Fall Growth Arch and step into the second movement: Rise.
Rising isn’t always dramatic. Sometimes it’s as simple as planting onions in cool soil, scattering radish seeds, or whispering a prayer in the middle of a hard day. It’s saying yes to the new life God is growing in us, even when the season feels heavy.
Join me in the garden as I share:
🌿 In this episode:
How Philippians 4:13 anchors us when our strength feels gone.
What the fall garden teaches us about rising in slow, steady faith.
My personal story of planting onions and radishes as an act of hope.
Garden practices for fall: garlic, greens, mulching, and noticing seasonal shifts.
Spiritual practices to rise with Christ: gratitude, prayer, slowing down, and saying yes to small beginnings.

Where in your life are you being asked to rise right now?
What “onions” (long-term growth) and “radishes” (quick mercies) is God inviting you to plant?
How does Philippians 4:13 speak into your current season of strength or weakness?
What small act of faithfulness could you say yes to this week?
🌿 Practical Garden Tie-In
Plant garlic as a symbol of unseen faithfulness.
Sow leafy greens to celebrate God’s quick mercies.
Mulch your beds as a reminder of God’s protective covering.
