In this inspiring episode of the Collide Podcast, we sit down with Ruth Chou Simons to talk about how God unfolds His plans in ways we often don’t expect. Ruth shares her journey of building a thriving ministry not through relentless striving, but through daily faithfulness, trusting the Author of her story. Whether you’re navigating the holiday hustle, juggling family and work, or seeking purpose in everyday life, this episode will remind you that grace—rather than success—is the heart of God’s calling.
