Episode: Embrace Holy Serendipity: God’s Plan in the Unplanned
Description: Pastor Dan reflects on Isaiah 55 and his renewal leave, sharing a personal mountaintop story and the surprising moment when God met him in the valley. The sermon traces biblical examples—Ruth, Joseph, Mary—and shows how God's grace often arrives in unplanned, humble moments.
He urges listeners to embrace "holy serendipity" by surrendering rigid plans, deepening prayer and scripture, and expecting God's unexpected work in the year ahead as they go further up and further in.
