She Said Yes: The High Cost of Faith

Outline

The story of Jesus does not begin with a sermon or a miracle. It begins with women.
Elizabeth waited. Mary surrendered. Anna endured.

Their faith was not praised by crowds. It was formed in obscurity, in small towns and quiet homes, in prayer and perseverance.

In this episode, we look closely at the lives of these women and what their discipleship teaches us today. I also share part of my own story: a season of loss, of waiting, and of restoration only God could accomplish.

If you are in a season that feels slow or hidden, I pray this encourages you to remain faithful. God sees what is done in secret. And He is faithful to complete the work He begins.

Reflection Questions

Where is God asking you to stay faithful and trust Him?
Where is God asking you to stay faithful without knowing the outcome?
How is He forming Christlike character in your ordinary days?
Who in your life needs your presence more than your perfection?

Scripture to Reflect On
