Cultivate by Lara Casey

"Staying isn't bad. Waiting can be fruitful. But sometimes we stay where we are because of fear, don't we?" (5).

"I discovered that doubts are doorways. When we lean into our doubts, seeking truth where we feel restless and unsure, God leads us to greater faith, and sometimes to unexpected new paths" (9).

"Farmers take a leap of faith each growing season, trusting that what they plant will actually grow. They plant seeds in faith and then believe in what they can't see" (106).

1 Corinthians 3:7: "So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth."

"We want to know every detail of the plan--and to be assured that the outcome will be positive and in our comfort zones--before we begin something, but here's a question for you: Are you planning an intentional life, or are you planting one?" (109).
