<p>In this episode of Courage for Everyday Life, Pastor Veronica and Allie unpack Jesus’ powerful parable of the new wine and new wineskins from Gospel of Matthew 9:16–17. Together, they explore what it means to let go of old patterns, old mindsets, and familiar comfort in order to fully receive what God wants to pour into your life.</p>
<p>This conversation dives into heart posture, healing, identity, spiritual growth, and the tension between familiarity and intimacy with God. What happens when your life can no longer contain the new thing God is trying to do? And how do you prepare your heart to carry it well?</p>
<p>If you’ve been feeling stretched, challenged, uncomfortable, or like God is calling you deeper — this episode is for you.</p>
<p>🎙️ Courage for Everyday Life explores the parables of Jesus and what they mean for everyday faith, healing, and spiritual growth.</p>
