Autumn is typically a time of harvest's end and a period of reflection. We see the reward of our hard work.

Join us as we explore hearing God during this autumn season of our lives and discover suggestions to make the most of this time.garyandjane.co

Summer is a time of harvest, of working hard and long hours and capitalising on the breaks to take a breather and have fun.

Join us as we explore hearing God in the summer season of harvest.garyandjane.co

New beginnings and fast growth, potential, promise and possibilities often characterise a spring season. A time of excitement and breakthrough, but it can also be a time of chaos and frantic activity, feeling pulled in numerous ways with limited time.

Join us as we explore hearing God in the spring season of new opportunities and growth.garyandjane.co

Winter can be a time of withdrawal, retreat, stagnation, and closure. A time for transitions and endings. It can be a bleak and disheartening season, where you endure and wait longingly, struggling to hear God and perhaps feeling distant from Him. A time when you may be tempted to pull away from God or feel that God is silent. We unpack why it is so important not to 'camp' in this season but to move through it. We ask the question, 'what if the goal of this season was learning to wait well?' and how that may well change our attitude throughout this season, as waiting can be a spiritual discipline. We also explore how 'why' questions can often be fruitless and examine what can be helpful instead. Join us as we explore hearing God during the winter season and offer practical suggestions on how to handle the waiting.garyandjane.co

In life, we experience not only the weather seasons but also metaphorical seasons, such as dry and barren seasons, the waiting season, the busy season, a season of celebration, or a season of spiritual warfare, among others. No season is perfect. Each season has its unique problems. The way we handle one season profoundly impacts how we experience the seasons that follow. Seasons are not a punishment from God. Instead, they are a time of preparation and growth. Our attitude is so crucial in the season we are currently in. There are certain things we have no control over, but by doing the right thing in our current season and maintaining the correct attitude towards it, we can prepare for the next season and thrive, regardless of which season we find ourselves in. Join us as we explore how to hear God in various seasons of life.garyandjane.co

The retirement years are not meant to be a never-ending holiday.

Join us as we explore hearing God regarding the retirement years and stewarding our time, thoughts, purpose, discipleship, and resources.garyandjane.co
