We start with the sower, paired with Inside Out 2, where a teenager's inner world gets hijacked by Anxiety fighting for control. It's not so different from us. How many of us have prayed, God, change me, and gone right back to the same patterns that made us pray it? We want the fruit of a changed life while we keep managing the soil ourselves. Two thousand years ago Jesus sat in a boat and told a story about a farmer scattering seed on four kinds of ground — then left it hanging: which one are you?   Today we look at two things: the power of the seed, and the posture of the heart.

Before he was Captain America, Steve Rogers was the last person anyone expected to change the world. Small in stature, overlooked by others, and repeatedly told he wasn't enough, Steve possessed something far more important than strength: a faithful heart. What made him extraordinary wasn't the serum. It was the character that was already there long before anyone noticed.

Like Jesus' parable of the mustard seed, Steve's story reminds us that God's work often begins in ways that seem unimpressive or insignificant. The Kingdom doesn't always arrive through the powerful, the influential, or the obvious heroes. It often starts with small acts of courage, integrity, and faithfulness that others overlook. What looks tiny today may become something far greater than anyone imagined. The question isn't whether the tree is visible yet. The question is whether we're willing to trust what God is growing from the seed.
