Rooted 008: When Strivings Finally Cease: Letting Grace Rewrite the Story

In this final Rooted episode of the year, Angela wraps up Session Six of When Strivings Cease and closes out the entire study with a look at what it really means to let God author the story — past, present, and the chapters we’re still afraid to turn.

From Joseph’s twists and betrayals, to Paul’s pressing on, to the quiet invitation of Matthew 11, Angela reflects on the themes that hit hardest:
• what you treasure will shape how you interpret your story
• pressing on means not dragging old labels into new chapters
• grace doesn’t wait for you to “do better”
• and God can use detours, disasters, and even our rebellion as raw material for redemption

She shares where the study confronted her, where it comforted her, and how it reshaped the way she sees her past failures, her motherhood, her story, and her faith.

As Rooted pauses for the holidays, this episode closes out with a prayer for rest, release, and a deeper trust going into the new year — and a look ahead to the next study: The Way of the Wildflower.
