    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This episode is raw. It&apos;s personal. And honestly, it&apos;s one of the hardest I&apos;ve ever recorded.</p><p>After 30 days of pouring out my heart through the <em>Made 4 More</em> series, God wrecked me - in the best way possible. In this final episode, I’m sharing what He revealed to me about obedience, about surrender, and about why I can’t afford to go back.</p><p>It’s framed around <b>Philippians 3:13–14</b>, where Paul reminds us to forget what’s behind and press forward. That’s exactly what I’m doing...pressing forward. Because when you’ve seen too much, when you’ve grown too much, and when God has called you to <em>more</em>, retreat is no longer an option.</p><p>If you’ve ever wrestled with obedience, if you’ve ever questioned your calling, or if you&apos;re standing at the edge of “Do I keep going?” this episode is for you.</p><p>Highlights:</p><ul><li>What God revealed to me through this 30-day journey</li><li>Why I almost didn’t release this episode</li><li>How obedience is stretching me in new, uncomfortable ways</li><li>The reminder that calling requires commitment—even when it&apos;s hard</li><li>A heartfelt invitation to keep pressing forward with me</li></ul><p>Listen now, share with a friend who needs encouragement, and remind yourself: <b>you were made for more...there’s no turning back now.</b></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2346279/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>Our prayer is that you enjoy this episode!

    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this heart-warming episode, we explore the essence and challenges of love as depicted in the profound teachings of 1 Corinthians 13. Often framed as the &quot;Love Chapter,&quot; this scripture beautifully articulates the virtues of love—patience, kindness, without envy, boastfulness, or pride, and enduring all things. We dissect these qualities to understand not just the ideal state of love but why embodying this type of love can be challenging. We discuss how modern distractions, societal pressures, and personal insecurities often lead us away from these virtues, making it difficult to fully express and live in accordance with this biblical definition of love.</p><p>As we dive deeper, we&apos;ll reflect on why people struggle with aspects of love such as patience and selflessness, which are crucial for nurturing healthy relationships. This discussion will highlight practical ways to cultivate these characteristics in our daily lives, encouraging listeners to foster a deeper connection with themselves, their loved ones, and their communities. </p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2346279/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>Our prayer is that you enjoy this episode!

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this heart-warming episode, we explore the essence and challenges of love as depicted in the profound teachings of 1 Corinthians 13. Often framed as the &quot;Love Chapter,&quot; this scripture beautifully articulates the virtues of love—patience, kindness, without envy, boastfulness, or pride, and enduring all things. We dissect these qualities to understand not just the ideal state of love but why embodying this type of love can be challenging. We discuss how modern distractions, societal pressures, and personal insecurities often lead us away from these virtues, making it difficult to fully express and live in accordance with this biblical definition of love.</p><p>As we dive deeper, we&apos;ll reflect on why people struggle with aspects of love such as patience and selflessness, which are crucial for nurturing healthy relationships. This discussion will highlight practical ways to cultivate these characteristics in our daily lives, encouraging listeners to foster a deeper connection with themselves, their loved ones, and their communities. </p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2346279/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>Our prayer is that you enjoy this episode!
