Obedience Pilates

Obedience doesn’t always feel good.
Sometimes it stings.
Sometimes it exposes you.
Sometimes it breaks you down before God builds you up.
But that’s where real transformation happens.

This episode dives into the stretch, the discomfort, and the growth that obedience produces when your feelings want to run the other way.
