Dot and Cara continue their series on Ruth, diving into chapter 3 and exploring Naomi and Ruth’s bold act of faith at the threshing floor. They reflect on how God also calls us to step out in faith, even when we can't see what He is doing and how moving forward in surrender builds our trust in His provision. If you're facing uncertainty or seeking guidance on your next steps, join us today for an encouraging conversation about trusting God's unseen hand.
