A gardener's most unglamorous and most essential work happens before a single seed is planted — and Casey shows us that the same is true for the lives we are trying to grow.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Casey uses the image of breaking up hard, compacted soil as a metaphor for preparing our hearts and lives to receive growth. What does 'hard soil' look like in your life right now — areas that have become resistant, closed off, or difficult to work with?
2.She is honest that soil preparation is hard, slow, dirty work that yields no immediate visible reward. How do you typically respond to work that is necessary but invisible? Do you tend to skip it or embrace it?
3.Casey talks about the role of past pain, disappointment, and failure in compacting the soil of our lives. Is there a past experience — a loss, a betrayal, a failure — that has hardened a particular area of your heart, making it less receptive to growth?
