    Pressure Meets Purpose: Navigating Your Garden Experience #66

    The episode of the Next Level Her podcast uses Jesus’ time in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36–39) to describe the “garden moment” everyone faces: the pressure-filled space between who you’ve been and who God is calling you to become.
