“A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you.”
Ezekiel 36:26
A short recorded message of encouragement after each session — the recap of what we discerned, the resources we spoke of, and the next step we agreed. Press play whenever you need to remember.
The shape of the ask
Recap: We explored the invitation to bring the Anderson family into deeper partnership. What surfaced: the ask is not for money — it is for participation in a mission that has already claimed them. We spoke of holding the July 12 meeting with hands open, not scripted.
Rightly ordering the year
Recap: We mapped your year around Advent, Lent, and the summer retreat — placing the asks after formation moments, not before them. The pattern: seek first the Kingdom, then the resources follow.
Naming the interior obstacle
Recap: You named the fear of asking as its own kind of idolatry — a small heart of stone. We sat with Ezekiel 36:26 together.
