"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly." --Colossians 3:16a Many of us want God's Word to dwell richly in us, but life can get in the way. We'd never intentionally write chapters of confusion, failure, loss, pain, conflict, or suffering into our stories.

Session 3 (6:37)--As we unpack the winter season of the heart, when we have to trust God's unseen work because very little is blooming, Ruth reminds us that resting in God's character is the only way to ha
