Planted In Pressure | Jen Timberlake

Series : Carried By The Wind Message Title: Planted in Pressure Main Scripture: Acts 8:1-5 Description What happens when life feels like everything is falling apart? In this powerful Mother’s Day message, Pastor Jen walks through Acts 8 and reveals how God often plants purpose in seasons of pressure. Through persecution, pain, rejection, and unexpected places, God was still advancing His Kingdom. From Philip being sent to Samaria to the powerful connection with the woman at the well in John 4, this message reminds us that God can use your pain, your past, and even your hardest seasons to produce eternal fruit. If you’ve ever felt scattered, overlooked, rejected, or broken—this message will remind you that God is still writing your story.
