Overview:
In this session, Angela and Carl Nicolson share together. The topic of spiritual growth takes center stage, first in the Parable of the Sower and then through personal reflections on God’s nature.

Angela shares thoughts on eternal wisdom and the significance of sowing the seeds of God's Word. She draws attention to the diverse responses based on the “soil”—the hearts of the receivers.

Carl then shares his winsome experience with Fonzie the Cat, who inadvertently helps him contemplate aspects of God's unexpected provision and omnipresent love.
