Small Seed Radio

In this kickoff episode of Small Seed Radio Krista chats with Lizzy about the beginnings of Small Seed—a website dedicated to growing your personal faith and faith in your home. We talk all about how this community came to be, where we are headed and how all of this all applies to your own journey of discipleship.

It is so easy to get wrapped up all the things we need to do and places we need to be—everywhere we turn is something new to do, to buy or to try! In this episode, Kim and Krista discuss how finding time to rest—in the Lord—can be the best way to manage our heavy loads.

In this episode, Jan and Kim, creators of our latest resource, Christ Centered Connection: 12 Steps to Strengthen Your Relationship, discuss why they knew they needed to create this resource, what it means to center your relationships on the Savior and how to allow Him to mediate your marriage.
