In this raw and heartfelt testimony, I share my journey from religious rebellion and corporate burnout to discovering the transformative power of Spiritual Formation through James K.A. Smith’s You Are What You Love. You’ll hear how God used the Parable of the Sower to reveal the condition of my heart, and how Apostle Michelle’s prophetic word awakened buried dreams and set me on a path toward my Isaiah 61 calling. This is my story of becoming good soil—and an invitation for you to let the Gardener tend to yours.
