There was a moment—years ago—when I almost gave up on my calling.
Ministry had drained me. Scripture felt dry. I was reading the Bible like a manual, hoping for help but coming up empty. But then, something happened. A surprising encounter in Luke's Gospel led me down a quieter path, one that didn’t just inform me—it began to form me.
This episode of The Trailhead tells the story of that shift—from Luke to lavender, from hurried reading to lectio divina. You’ll hear how an ancient practice, and a 17th-century honeybee helped me rediscover Scripture as light rather than just instruction.
