Hey friends — this week on Nourished to Bloom, we're diving into a passage of Scripture that hits right at the heart of who we are becoming: the Parable of the Gold Coin from Luke 19:11–28.
So many of us feel like God has entrusted us with something special — a talent, a passion, a story — but fear convinces us to tuck it away, keep quiet, or stay small. Whether we're in the "middle" years of motherhood, career, or faith, many of us are quietly wondering:
Who am I now? What is God asking of me? And what if I mess it all up?
In this episode, we explore how Jesus' invitation to "engage in trade" is really an invitation to step into the gifts He's placed in our hands — faithfully, courageously, and without comparison. We talk about what happens when we hide our gifts… and what can unfold when we finally offer them back to God.
Here's a look at what we unpack inside Episode 93:
✨ What the Parable of the Gold Coin reveals about identity, calling, and courage ✨ The subtle ways fear convinces us to hide our gifts or doubt our worth ✨ Why fruitfulness is found in surrender, not perfection or performance ✨ How we can multiply what God has entrusted to us through small, faithful steps ✨ A visualization practice to imagine Jesus placing your "gold coin" in your hands ✨ How to navigate moments of wanting to quit — and the breakthroughs that come with vulnerability ✨ A life-giving invitation to step into clarity and courage through the "Writing Your Sacred Story" Mini Retreat
This episode reminds us that the size of the gift is never the point — it's our willingness to use what God has placed in our hands that shapes our story. Fear freezes us. Faith multiplies.
