Live With Purpose. Here’s How.
In this blog, Seana Scott explores what it means to live with purpose—not by making a big impact, but by being faithful in the ordinary moments of everyday life. Through the story of two often-overlooked women in Genesis, Shiphrah and Puah, she reminds us that God can use simple acts of obedience in ways we may never see. Our purpose isn’t measured by success or impact, but by faithfully following where God leads.

A garden can’t grow on sunshine and rain alone. It needs a gardener—someone to pull weeds, chase pests, and water roots in dry spells. In the same way, our souls need the attentive care of the Good Gardener. In her reflective blog, Emily DeAngelo draws us through the biblical gardens of Eden, Gethsemane, and the garden tomb to show how God meets us in our weeping and tends to our weary hearts.
