Sowing // S10E09
Even the largest of trees have small, even minuscule beginnings. They begin as a tiny seeds, that have no resemblance to what they will become. And so it is with spiritual seeds. They may not seem like much, but they are so valuable and absolutely necessary! And the beautiful thing is that God is the one that makes them grow! In this episode, Yancy Richmond shares how her kids worship ministry has taught her this very thing, that simplicity and seemingly acts are often what God uses the most!

Quotes from Planting Seeds:
“Even though it was something that was hard for me, it was the Exodus I needed to enter my Promise land”
Yancy Richmond, The Pantry Podcast, Planting Seeds
“A simplified message… It’s amazing how we can get into theological debates, we can get into all these debates, we can talk about “oh this” or “that” or “the other thing” … but it went back to simplicity! Its amazing that in our tests and trials… we start getting back to the simplification of things.”
Shea Watson, The Pantry Podcast, Planting Seeds
“If you think you don’t know enough, if you think you don’t know enough theology and doctrine to share the gospel; its the simplicity that people acme back to!”
Michelle Watson, The Pantry Podcast, Planting Seeds
