Interview with Goldenrod: The Secret to Joy and Successful Collaboration

ByMarnie Kuhns September 25, 2023September 25, 2023

You may have seen my interview with a rosebush. This morning, I felt God calling me to interview the goldenrod that adorns nearly an acre of our field.

I wasn’t sure what the goldenrod would share with me, but after sitting with it for a spell, I began to see rich symbolism that taught me a lot about where joy comes from and how to collaborate to bring more joy to the world around us.

I think you’ll find this fascinating. I really learned a lot from my interview with Goldenrod!
