After an 8 month Sabbatical, Courtney Lowman was so ready to return to recording new episodes of the podcast. She approached the launch with excitement paired with a cautious drive. There was a lot learned and revealed during her sabbatical. In this episode, Courtney shares about God’s call for her to surrender, a change in priorities, filling your calendar and so may more lessons that the Lord taught her. Surrender is not an easy thing, but what if it leads to rest, a greater effectiveness, and a clear direction. Come along for the ride of the last year with our host Courtney Lowman.
