Episode 30 — Rooted + Rested: A Season of Peace (Week 5)
Theme: “Lead us not into temptation” — resisting old patterns & following God with confidence
In this week’s episode, we explore what Jesus meant when He taught us to pray, “Lead us not into temptation.” For many of us, temptation isn’t about dramatic sin — it’s about the subtle pull to return to:
• old habits
• old reactions
• old rhythms God already pruned back
• fears that drive us instead of faith
• striving or overworking
• patterns that drain peace, joy, or clarity
Today’s lavender lesson comes straight from the farm: when a plant is struggling or off-balance, I cut back the woody, depleted growth so new life can flourish. God does the same with our hearts — not to punish us, but to redirect our strength toward what can grow.
Inside this episode you’ll learn:
- What “Lead us not into temptation” truly means for the Christian woman today
- How old patterns subtly pull you away from God’s best
- Why obedience creates clarity and peace
- How God strengthens you when you choose His way
- A powerful lavender analogy that will stick with you
- Simple ways to stay aligned with God’s direction this week
Whether you’re running a business, a home, or both — this episode will encourage you to walk closely with the Lord, resist the pull backwards, and stay rooted in the peace He offers.
