When Life is Hard and God is Still Growing Fruit

EPISODE 101

This summer on WRAP Yourself in the Word, Joni slows the pace with one passage of Scripture, one honest reflection, and one simple way to WRAP yourself in God's Word.

In this episode, Joni returns to Psalm 1 and reflects on a prayer she's prayed for years to be like the tree planted by streams of water, deeply rooted in God's Word. In this season, she's recognizing another answered prayer: fruit in season.

Sometimes hard seasons and fruitful seasons coexist. Through Psalm 1, Joni explores what it means to delight in God's Word, trust His timing, and recognize the fruit He's growing, even when life still feels heavy.

This episode includes a simple WRAP practice through Psalm 1:3 and an invitation to join 100 Days, 100 Verses: A Life Rooted in Truth.
