A story about what we do with the truth once we hear it, and what kind of soil lives in us.
A creator dropped a new episode.
It was raw, honest—about healing, purpose, and becoming whole.
The message went out everywhere:
On TikTok, Spotify, YouTube Shorts, even a few subway ads.
But the responses? They varied.
Some people scrolled past before it even loaded.
The algorithm buried it.
They never really heard it.
It got lost in the noise.
Others clicked out of curiosity—felt a spark—but forgot it by lunch.
Life moved fast.
Their inbox was full.
The feeling didn’t stick.
Some were lit up right away.
Posted about it. Quoted lines. Sent it to friends.
But when life got heavy again
they didn’t have roots.
And the flame flickered out.
And then… a few heard it.
Really heard it.
They didn’t just nod. They tilled the soil.
Sat with the message. Let it work them.
Changed how they moved through the world.
And over time?
They grew something from it.
Not just for themselves
but for everyone around them.
Moral:
The truth is the same.
But the soil?
That’s you.
🪞Questions to Reflect On
- When truth comes to you, do you scroll past, or do you sit with it?
- Is your life too loud for seeds to take root?
- What would it look like to clear space for something real to grow?
- What kind of soil are you cultivating?
Truth is sometimes packaged as rigid, controlling, and closed. To accept a set of beliefs uncritically.
- It says, “Believe this or else.”
- It offers all the answers, demands agreement, and claims sole ownership of what’s right.
- It builds walls, controls behavior, and creates followers.
But real truth, living truth, invites.
It says, “Here’s what I’ve found. What does it stir in you?”
It doesn’t demand answers; it awakens better questions.
It doesn’t try to control you, it helps you remember who you really are.
Let’s seek it together.
Let's honor autonomy.
It doesn’t create followers.
It calls forth image-bearers.
