Podcasts about Sowing

Join us for our Sunday morning study through Galatians.

We open the Bible to Matthew 6 and 2 Corinthians 9 and let them expose the real fight behind our finances: trust in the Father or trust in fear. We challenge mammon as a rival master, then pray for courage, repentance, and open-handed obedience that makes room for God's provision and purpose. • Abundance as a blessing meant to bless others • Priorities in the kingdom shaping every dollar • Stewardship mindset that refuses self-made pride • Treasure as a heart indicator and a practical audit • Serving God versus serving mammon as a real tension • Sowing and reaping as worship rather than pressure • Planned generosity instead of accidental generosity • Provision posture purpose as the order of kingdom giving • Cheerful giving that offers God our best • Jewish covenant lens in Matthew 6 and the shock of deifying mammon • Roman patronage culture and the temptation to give for credit • Kingdom versus mammon as two systems of security • Repentance as the fastest way back to trust • Dismantling stored security and self-protection agreements • Faith that works and refuses laziness

Heaven has once again joined Earth in The Lord's new season of "Ploughing and Sowing." This year of 5783 not only brings the manifestations of The Sovereignty of God, but the Kingdom inheritances that are to be manifested through His sons. Dr. Griffin begins in Malachi 4 to convey The Lord's required restoration of "Fathers and sons."

The speaker outlines five key areas for the church to focus on: Vision Beyond Today: Having a perspective that looks toward the future impact of the church's work. Foundation for Growth: Ensuring the church is built on the solid foundation of God's word and empowerment. Commitment to Teach: Being intentional and consistent in disciplining and training children in the ways of the Lord. Legacy of Faithfulness: Living out an authentic faith that children can witness and emulate. Sowing for Another's Harvest: Recognizing that today's labor for the gospel may yield fruit in future generations, all for the ultimate glory of God.

Succession sowing is often presented as the key to having flowers all season long. But on many small UK flower farms, the pressure to keep sowing again and again can quietly create more work than the flowers are worth. In this episode of MULCH, Rebecca explores what succession sowing actually means and why misunderstanding it can lead to unnecessary labour, overwhelm, and resentment. Using ecological thinking and real examples from the field, she reflects on how a resilient flower farm often relies less on constant repetition and more on seasonal transition, where different plants step forward as the season moves on. You'll hear about: Why succession sowing doesn't always mean growing the same flowers repeatedly How seasonal transitions can create a steady flow of flowers The question every grower should ask before adding another sowing Why working with the season builds resilience in a flower farming business If succession plans are starting to feel overwhelming, this episode offers a calmer and more sustainable way to think about the season ahead.

In this Midweek sermon, Pastor Steve Perez emphasizes the importance of intentional spiritual formation within the home as the foundation for sowing faith into the next generation. He highlights that spiritual formation begins at home and is supported by the church, stressing the need for consistency and authenticity in living out faith. Pastor warns against the dual messages that can arise when faith is not actively practiced at home, leading to confusion among children and new believers. He underscores the importance of teaching spiritual disciplines such as prayer, reading the Word, and holy living, and encourages parents and mentors to model repentance and humility. The sermon also addresses the challenges posed by modern technology and cultural influences, urging believers to engage in intentional discipleship and to make faith visible in daily life. Pastor concludes with a call to action, encouraging the congregation to sow seeds of faith now to ensure a strong foundation for future generations.Pastor Steve Perez | March 3, 2026The Fountain Apostolic ChurchSOW (2026)Learn more at tfachurch.com/plus

Genesis 4. One fundamental truth of life and Scripture is "what you sow is what you reap." In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman examines Genesis 4 to see what it teaches about sowing sin's seed and reaping sin's fruit.

In this Sunday Service sermon, Pastor Steve Perez emphasizes the critical importance of sowing faith into the next generation. He highlights the biblical principle of generational faith transfer, using examples like Lois, Eunice, and Timothy to illustrate how sincere faith can shape future leaders. Pastor stresses the need for intentional discipleship, urging parents, grandparents, and church elders to actively teach and declare God's works to the younger generation. He warns against cultural influences that can disciple children if families do not, and calls for deeper engagement with youth to safeguard their spiritual growth. The sermon encourages believers to bless and speak life into children, ensuring that faith is not just a private matter but a shared legacy. Pastor Perez concludes with a call to action, urging the congregation to make faith-filled decisions and commit to nurturing the next generation in the Word of God.Pastor Steve Perez | March 1, 2026The Fountain Apostolic ChurchSOW (2026)Learn more at tfachurch.com/plus

Preached at Indian Gap Baptist Church-- Indian Gap, Texas www.indiangapbaptist.com Pastor Keegan Hall

Ready to sow with confidence instead of crossing your fingers? March brings longer days and real momentum, but cold, wet ground can still undo good plans. We break down exactly what to start now under cover, what needs heat, and what should wait a week or two, so you save seed, time, and energy while setting up a strong season.We begin with the crops that make March feel productive fast: salads like spring onions, spinach, radish, and a range of lettuces that thrive in plug trays and tunnels. Then we map out the cool-season backbone of a kitchen garden with brassicas and alliums, from cabbage and cauliflower to onions, shallots, and leeks. Root crops get nuanced advice: early carrots under cover, beetroot for a head start, and a realistic plan for parsnips when soil finally dries. For heat lovers—tomatoes, peppers, and chillies—we explain why steady night temperatures and a basic propagator make the difference between sturdy transplants and setbacks.Herbs bring flexibility, with parsley and coriander on a little-and-often schedule and practical reasons to buy thyme, sage, and rosemary as small plants. We also time peas and broad beans for tidy module-grown transplants that beat slugs and claggy beds. Flowers round out the plan: sweet peas, cosmos, marigolds, lobelia, nasturtiums, and sunflowers for cheerful summer displays, plus summer bulbs and tubers like dahlias and lilies to anchor borders with bold colour. Throughout, we keep one principle front and centre: sow by conditions, not by the month on the packet. Protect tender seedlings, harden off with care, and wait for the soil to say yes.If this guide helps you plan your March, share it with a gardening friend, subscribe for monthly sowing plans, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Larissa Herczeg is Founder and Managing Partner of 1 Seed Partners. One Seed Partners backs rising stars across the real estate complex Prior to founding 1 Seed she was Head of Seeding at Blue Owl, and prior to that CIO at Oak Street Capital before which she had series of financial roles. She was a 2025 Honoree for the Influential Women in Institutional Investing Awards.  Our conversation traces Larissa's first foray into real estate - how it was a default option rather than an original direction - but how it turned out optimally. We discuss the reasons she was attracted to the industry and the strong "human" component that drives deal success as well as organizational sustainability.We turn then to discuss the seeding business in particular, and how so much more than capital is involved. We discuss today's landscape for emerging managers, how the goal posts have changed and how barriers to entry affect capital raising as well as getting a head start.This podcast is kindly sponsored by Evanston Capital and Alvine Capital. For over 20 years Evanston Capital has had a key focus in identifying early-stage investment managers it believes are capable of generating long-term, value-added returns in complex, innovative strategy areas.

In this Midweek sermon, Co-Pastor Ezekiel Perez explores the concept of infinite generosity within the context of Christian stewardship. He emphasizes that true generosity goes beyond the traditional tithe, urging believers to give not just financially, but also of their time, skills, and resources. Co-Pastor challenges the congregation to move past the mindset of measuring their giving and instead embrace a lifestyle of open-handed generosity. He highlights the importance of aligning one's heart with God's will, suggesting that where one's treasure is, there their heart will be also. The lesson encourages believers to see generosity as a privilege and a reflection of their faith, rather than a mere obligation. By doing so, they can experience the boundless blessings that come from a generous spirit.Co-Pastor Ezekiel Perez | February 24, 2026The Fountain Apostolic ChurchSOW (2026)Learn more at tfachurch.com/plus

The harvest belongs to God, but the sowing belongs to us. In the parable of the sower, Jesus reminds believers that our responsibility is not to predict results but to faithfully spread the gospel. This episode encourages us to keep planting seeds with confidence, knowing God alone brings the growth and the victory.

Remember God loves you so much he sent his Son Jesus Christ to take the punishment for your sins. You are of great value. Jesus loves you and He is just a prayer away! 

The call to spread the gospel to the lost and dying world is given to each individual Christian, and to the church collectively. The task can be daunting, and Christians often shrink from it. The words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 3:5-17 give insight into the nature of sowing the seed of God's word, and our involvment in it. His teaching should embolden us to do God's work.

I bought the seeds. I tilled the soil. I watered, waited, and expected growth.But nothing bloomed at my house.The same seeds, planted in my mom's yard, flourished effortlessly. What I worked for didn't produce in my ground — it thrived in hers. And that's when I learned my lesson: sometimes the issue isn't the seed. It's the soil.2 Corinthians 9:6–8 reminds us that what we sow matters — and how we sow matters. Generosity, obedience, effort, time, money, love — all of it is seed. But not every environment is conducive to growth. Not every space is assigned to yield for you. And sometimes, what you're laboring over isn't meant to harvest in your hands.The blessing may still come — just not in the way you expected.There's also posture. Are we sowing from comparison? From ego? From fear of missing out? Or are we sowing cheerfully, aligned with God's direction? Because Proverbs 10:22 reminds us that the blessing of the Lord adds no sorrow. This is a reminder to be discerning about your soil. To ask whether the ground you're investing in is assigned or just accessible. To trust that no seed planted in obedience is ever wasted — but not every seed is meant for your harvest.Watch what you sow.Watch where you sow.And most importantly, watch your heart while you do it. References Scriptures:2 Corinthians 9:6-8Proverbs 10:22Support the show

Hindrance from the enemy: if we engage in viewing, thinking, acting in line with the devil's territory, he will start operating in our space.

We can sow hope by the wisdom of God's Word.

Mike reveals why making disciples doesn't have to be intimidating when we realise that we sow the seed of God's word into people's hearts but it is the Holy Spirit that causes growth.

Peat built our seed-starting habits because it made life easy: even moisture, airy structure, predictable results. But when carbon-rich bogs and vanishing habitats enter the frame, “easy” stops feeling right. We take a clear-eyed look at what peat-free really means for gardeners in Ireland, the UK, and the US—beyond labels, beyond trends—and ask how to balance strong germination with true environmental sense.We start by mapping the policy shifts and market realities: Ireland still sells mostly peat-based compost; the UK's retail ban has pushed rapid innovation; the US market offers a mature spread of growing media, from coir and wood fibre to biochar, vermicast, and tailored blends. Then we dig into performance. Peat-free mixes can be excellent but inconsistent, changing with feedstocks and age. Two bags from the same pallet may give different germination and salt levels. We explain why that happens, how peat-free holds water differently, and how to adjust watering and timing to avoid stalled seedlings or damping-off.From there, we get practical. We're trialling three seed-starting paths this season: a local vermicast blend opened with perlite and a touch of biochar for moisture balance; a highly regarded coir-forward seed mix known for uniform germination; and a very small reserve of peat-based compost used only for sowing. We also share DIY routes: hot-composting followed by a long cure to stabilise the material, blending with sharp sand or perlite, and using inert media like grit plus vermiculite for germination before an early prick-out into a proven mix. Along the way, we question coir's “green” halo by tracing its journey across oceans and factories—great performance can still carry a heavy footprint if it travels farther than your holidays.If you want reliable seedlings without greenwash, this conversation gives you a framework: use imports sparingly where they truly shine, switch to local bulk mixes for planters and potting on, learn the moisture cues of peat-free, and record what works in your climate. We'd love to hear your winning recipes and failures too. Subscribe, share this with a gardening friend, and leave a review with your go-to seed-starting mix so we can test it next.Join my free Grow Your Own Food Webinar: http://subscribepage.io/growyourownfoodwebinarLast Few Places In Feb Workshop: https://subscribepage.io/growyourownfoodworkshopSupport the showIf there is any topic you would like covered in future episodes, please let me know.

In this Midweek sermon, Co-Pastor Ezekiel Perez explores the biblical concept of manna as a lesson in financial stewardship and spiritual dependence. Drawing from Exodus 16, he highlights how God provided manna to the Israelites in the desert, teaching them to rely on Him daily. Co-Pastor emphasizes that this period in the desert was a necessary season for character development, where God used manna to instill discipline and trust. He warns against the dangers of hoarding and the survival mentality, urging believers to focus on their needs rather than wants. By reflecting on the lessons of manna, Co-Pastor encourages the congregation to practice gratitude, generosity, and contentment, preparing them for the abundance of the promised land. The sermon concludes with a call to embrace God's provision and to remember the lessons learned in times of scarcity.Co-Pastor Ezekiel Perez | February 10, 2026The Fountain Apostolic ChurchSOW (2026)Learn more at tfachurch.com/plus

One of the most amazing sights in America is the giant Sequoia tree. It towers up to 325 feet tall, weighs over 6,000 tons, and can live more than 3,000 years. The famous General Sherman tree is 275 feet tall and 100 feet wide at its trunk, with roots stretching 80 feet in diameter. But that massive, nearly indestructible tree started from a seed no bigger than a tomato seed. That's the power of a single seed. And when that tree matures, it produces 400,000 seeds every year, capable of creating entire forests. Jesus understood this power, which is why He told a parable about the most powerful seed of all, God's Word. Every believer is called to be a seed sower, and Psalm 126 gives us both the promise and the pattern of what that looks like. “Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them” (Psalm 126:5–6, NIV). Once you understand what it means to “sow with tears,” you'll learn why some seeds produce forests while others never break ground.

Spiritual abuse around money almost made us stop giving altogether.   We've seen manipulation from the pulpit. We've witnessed leaders mishandle funds. We've felt the tension between honoring God and distrusting institutions.   And yet… we still tithe.   In this episode, Bob and Linda have an honest, nuanced conversation about why they chose not to let other people's failures steal something God wanted to use for their freedom. This is not a legalistic defense of tithing.   It's a heart-level conversation about obedience, trust, healing, and separating God's command from human hypocrisy.   If you've ever thought: "I don't trust where the money goes" "I've seen too much abuse" "Is tithing even for today?" "I want to honor God, but I'm conflicted" This episode is for you.   Key Scriptures (NLT) Proverbs 3:9–10 — Honor the Lord with your wealth Deuteronomy 8:18 — God gives the power to create wealth Matthew 6:33 — Seek first the Kingdom Luke 6:38 — Give, and it will be given to you 2 Corinthians 9 — Sowing and reaping with the right heart Matthew 23:23 — Jesus affirms tithing without legalism   Action Item for This Week Take 10 quiet minutes and pray this simple prayer: "God, what does generosity look like for me right now?" Write down what comes to mind. Don't rush it. Don't rationalize it. Just ask… and listen.   Don't let someone else's disobedience steal your opportunity to trust God.
