Roots Before Fruit | This Week’s Teaching

video preview

Hi Reader,

This week’s teaching is one I believe many of us need to hear right now.

We are in the Hebrew month of Shevat, known biblically as the New Year of Trees. And while that might sound agricultural or distant, Scripture uses this language on purpose — because God often teaches us through what grows slowly.

In Psalm 1, the blessed person is described as a tree planted by streams of water, yielding fruit in its season. Not rushed. Not forced. Not striving. Just rooted.

This week’s video is about that truth:
👉 Roots before fruit.

If you’ve been feeling like:

  • you’re doing the right things but not seeing results yet
  • God has you in a quiet, hidden, or refining season
  • growth feels slow or invisible

This teaching will help you reframe where you are — not as delay, but as preparation.

In the video, we walk through:
• Psalm 1 and what “blessed” really means
• Why Shevat is about roots, not harvest
• Jesus’ teaching on soil, seed, and fruitfulness (Mark 4)
• How to tend the soil of your heart so it produces lasting fruit

Take your time with it. Sit with the Word. Let God speak to you about where you’re planted and what He’s growing beneath the surface.

📖 “First the blade, then the head, then the full grain.” (Mark 4:28)

Your fruit is not late.
It’s seasonal.

With purpose,
