#301: Give Your “Widow’s Mite” & Trust God to Supply His Might

Some adventures do more than stretch us — they transform us.

And today, Pam Watts is back in the guest co-host seat to share with us what God revealed during and after the experience she was still preparing for the last time we talked.

What began as doing something fun for something good became something sacred — reshaping her understanding of excellence, identity, rest, and God’s power at work through human weakness.

In our conversation, we explore:

• A different definition of excellence
• The gift of doing hard things in community
• How offering our “widow’s mite” opens the door to experiencing God’s might

If you’re in a season of saying your own faith-based “yes” — or in the reflective time that comes after — this conversation is rich with clarity, insight, and wisdom.
