God's Correction Is Protection: Trusting the Pruning Process
What if the thing you keep avoiding is actually protecting you?
In this finale to our Faith series, we're unpacking why correction feels like a threat instead of protection, what delaying it really costs us, and why faith means responding now — through the story of a man who gave up everything he was promised for one moment of relief.
Wounds gave us the why. Calling gave us the what. Correction gives us the urgency.
Let's get refined. 💎
