It’s possible to love God’s Word… and still have places where it hasn’t taken root.

In this episode of Seed in the Closet, Macretia Moody reflects on the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13 and the condition of our spiritual soil. Through the imagery of heart gardening, she explores the “rocks” (lies we believe) and “thorns” (unbelief and worldly cares) that can quietly prevent deep spiritual growth.

What happens when subtle beliefs about fairness, suffering, or self-reliance begin to choke out truth? And what does it look like to surrender those hidden stones to God?

This episode is an invitation to examine what’s beneath the surface — not with condemnation, but with grace.

A conversation with the president of Luther Rice College & Seminary: Dr. Steven Steinhilber

As students prepare to return for the second semester, we sit down with the president of Luther Rice College & Seminary for a meaningful conversation about vision, calling, and spiritual formation.

In this interview, we explore:

• The heart and mission of Luther Rice
• What it means to pursue academic excellence while remaining spiritually grounded
• Encouragement for students returning with both excitement and fatigue
• Opportunities for traditional, nontraditional, and lay learners
• Academic distinctives, certificate programs, and dual enrollment
• Discernment of calling in today’s cultural climate

Whether you are a current student, considering enrollment, or simply seeking clarity about your calling, this conversation offers wisdom, perspective, and encouragement for the season ahead.

🎓 Now is not just a return—it’s a re-engagement.

Life does what life will do.
Seasons change. People come and go. Circumstances shift.

In this episode of Seed in the Closet, we continue our conversation on inheritance—not just what we receive from God, but how we live from it while life is still happening around us.

Drawing from Ecclesiastes 1:9–10 and Isaiah 43:16–21, we reflect on the reality that while life follows familiar patterns, God is always doing something new. Life may be life’n—but God is still God’n.

This message invites us to:

• Recognize life as something we experience, not control
• Stop ruminating on what God has already done
• Perceive what God is doing now
• Live alert and present in our inheritance

As we close out this portion of the season, we also share an update about a short break before returning in late January with new episodes, videos, and guest appearances.

Listen with an open heart.
Be mindful of the larger picture.
And remember—what’s in you is greater than what’s around you.
