Are you feeling the stirring of a new season approaching in your life and wondering how to navigate the uncertainties and opportunities it brings? I'm excited to share my conversation with best-selling author and international speaker Michelle McKinney-Hammond with you! Her influence has been monumental in my spiritual journey. Michelle’s teaching at a conference years ago led to my rededication to God, and it's a story I often recount with profound gratitude.

Our discussion centered around her book, When Shift Happens, which brilliantly encapsulates life's transitions through the lens of different seasons. Michelle explained how life, much like the seasons in nature, is full of cyclical changes. Embracing these seasons, understanding them, and responding appropriately is vital.

When Relationships Shift 

We extended our conversation to include relationships, especially marriage. Michelle emphasized the need to rediscover the joy and purpose in marriage, suggesting that couples engage in kingdom activities together. This perspective is crucial for maintaining a vibrant relationship.
