## Resource

When life feels cut back and smaller than before, it can be hard to recognize that God may still be preserving what matters most. In this episode, Misti reflects on the sacred meaning of the stump in Daniel 4 and Isaiah 11, reminding us that reduced does not mean ruined when God is still protecting the root.
