Welcome Winter - Brian Reiswig

We often misunderstand seasons, expecting constant harvest when sometimes God has us in winter—a season of rest, trust, and investment rather than visible fruit. Winter doesn’t mean something is wrong; it means the soil is resting, roots are deepening, and pruning is happening to make room for future growth. Just as farmers rest the land, tend the vines, and repair their tools in winter, God uses these seasons to heal hearts, strengthen foundations, and prepare us for what’s next. When we change the meaning of winter from failure to formation, frustration gives way to peace and hope. Learning to embrace "winter" allows us to trust God in hardship, knowing that new life and harvest are being prepared beneath the surface.
