“I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.” — Philippians 4:13
Life doesn’t always leave room for dramatic breakthroughs. Some weeks are busy, heavy, and full. In those times, rising in faith doesn’t always look like big leaps. It often looks like small yeses—quiet, faithful acts of trust that God sees and honors.
In this Rooted Moment, I share how planting onions and scattering radish seeds reminded me that both long-term patience and quick mercies are ways we rise in Christ’s strength. The onion teaches endurance. The radish teaches encouragement. Both matter to God.
🌿 In this episode you’ll hear:
Why Philippians 4:13 is about more than doing “everything”—it’s about trusting Christ in every season.
How the fall garden mirrors our spiritual life: some things grow slowly, some quickly, all faithfully.
Practical ways to “rise” when life feels overwhelming—through prayer, gratitude, patience, and small steps of obedience.
Encouragement that your smallest rising is seen and celebrated by God.
🌿 Reflection Prompts for You
Where are you being invited to rise in small but faithful ways?
Is God calling you to patience like onions—or to quick obedience like radishes?
How can you lean more into His strength, and less on your own, this week?
🌿 Practical Garden Tie-In
Plant something small this week—garlic, radishes, or even herbs in a pot—as a declaration of hope.
Take a few minutes outdoors to notice God’s creation and let it anchor you in His presence.
Keep Philippians 4:13 close—write it in your journal or tuck it on a garden marker.
