#745 Keep planting seeds | Proverbs 28

What do you do when the people closest to you don’t support your next step? Proverbs 28 gives a powerful answer—and today’s conversation might be exactly what you need if you’re feeling unseen, unsupported, or discouraged.

A friend of mine, Vince, reached out after launching a new aspect of his business. Instead of encouragement, he felt resistance from the very people he expected to support him. That moment created a fork in the road: either jump in the hole with him emotionally, or offer timeless wisdom passed down from my Pops—you can be a prophet in every city except your own hometown.

This episode unpacks a hard truth leaders, entrepreneurs, and people of faith eventually learn: your friends and your customers are rarely the same people. And that’s okay.

Rooted in Proverbs 28 and reinforced by 2 Corinthians 9:6—“whoever sows sparingly will reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will reap generously”—this conversation centers on one defining question:

Which seeds should I plant?

Proverbs 28 lays out the exact kind of seeds that lead to an abundant harvest: integrity, righteousness, generosity, discipline, and faithfulness. Our job is not to worry about the increase. Scripture reminds us that one plants, another waters—but only God brings the increase.

If you’re building something new, walking by faith, or planting seeds without applause, this episode is your encouragement.

Keep planting. God handles the harvest.

Vince—your harvest is on the way.
