March — The Courage to Plant Seeds of Faith
The Courage to Plant, Even When You Can’t See Results
A Month of Faithful Obedience
As we step into March together, I want to name something many of us quietly wrestle with when it comes to faith: the tension between obedience and outcomes. Most of us are willing to do what we believe God is asking—until it feels unclear, uncomfortable, or unfinished. We don’t mind faith when it comes with reassurance. What unsettles us is obedience without confirmation. Faithfulness without feedback. Trust without visible results.
Some of us are entering this month hopeful, sensing that God is inviting us into something new. Others are cautious, carrying memories of times we obeyed and felt exposed, disappointed, or unseen. Some of us are tired—not because we don’t love God, but because obedience has felt heavier than we expected, especially when nothing seemed to change afterward. And some of us aren’t quite sure what we feel at all—only that faith feels more complicated than it used to.
That’s why this month matters.

And when we confuse the two, obedience becomes burdened with pressure it was never meant to carry.
This month is an invitation to loosen that burden.
Over the next five weeks, we’ll take our time with what it means to obey God without urgency, without performance, and without needing to control the response. We’ll look at faithfulness in everyday moments, in quiet
