In this episode of the Canyon Pathways Podcast, I reflect on the idea of provision—what it is, what it isn’t, and how our relationship with it often reveals whether we’re living like sons… or like servants.

Midlife leadership often comes with unspoken pressure. We carry burdens. We face limitations. And many of us live with a lingering feeling: “I’m not being provided for.” That sense of scarcity can push us into self-reliance, resentment, or striving. But what if provision isn’t about having more—what if it’s about trusting what’s already here?

Through scripture, stories, and some honest reflection, I invite you to consider a new posture: not one of accumulation, but of awareness. Not hoarding for tomorrow, but trusting the Father who sees ahead and will see to it.

Key Takeaways

• Provision isn’t just material—it’s spiritual foresight. God sees what we need before we do.
• Scarcity is a mindset, not a condition. When we live like sons, we begin to notice abundance.
• Manna is a metaphor. It teaches us to trust today’s provision without demanding tomorrow’s certainty.
• Servanthood fears lack; sonship trusts timing. Living like a son means learning to rest in what the Father provides.
• We’re also meant to provide. Our lives become a source of provision—emotional, spiritual, practical—for others.
