Ep109 - Muddy Roots
Are you stuck in a rainy, muddy season of life — and trying to escape too soon? Before a flower blooms, the seed has to split. Before growth shows above the surface, roots go deep below. In this soul-stirring episode, Dallas Amsden explores what it means to love the muddy roots — those hard, messy, often overlooked seasons that are preparing you to become your most grounded and fruitful self: your FUTURE YOU.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- What seeds, rain, and roots can teach us about growth
- The difference between short-term relief and long-term rootedness
- Why the rain might be exactly what you need right now
- The power of the phrase: “I have a choice to continue”
- A powerful MindSHIFT that will reframe your struggle
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- The muddy moments are not setbacks — they’re sacred spaces
- Your deepest growth happens before anyone sees your results
- We often want the fruit without embracing the root
- You always have a choice: escape the mud or go deeper
- Strong roots lead to lasting fruit in your health, relationships, business, and faith
- The FUTURE YOU is formed in the mud, not the spotlight
