Episode 553
Old: Buried to Bear Fruit | Sam Goulet
This episode emphasizes that true wholeness in Christ comes through surrender, not self‑preservation, using the image of a grain of wheat that must die to produce fruit. Contrasting modern culture’s focus on comfort, visibility, and control, the message calls listeners to embrace hiddenness, weakness, and obedience as the place where God brings real transformation, teaching that growth often comes not through changed circumstances but through trusting God’s grace to form us as we give our lives fully to Him.
