Welcome to the Imbued Seed

Ecclesiastes 11:6 says "In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not your hand, for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good." Scripture often uses analogies of farming due to the prevalence of agriculture during the time that it was written. Based on this passage, there are two paths juxtaposed for the farmer: the first is a results focused path and second is a input focused path. The difference between the two gets at the heart of the Imbued Seed website & podcast.

Let me explain a little further, the result focused path is concentrated on the right timing and the right placement to get the desired output. The worry is what can I do right to get the results I want. On the other hand the input focused path is concentrated the content of the seed. When you have certainty about the content of the seed (the type of seed/identification), you can spread the seed a little more indiscriminately because if a plant doesn't grow where a seed is planted, the question is more about the soil than it is about the seed. This is the very truth that we see with the parable of the sower that Jesus tells in Matthew 13:1–23, Mark 4:1–20, and Luke 8:4–15. The sower sows the seed indiscriminately and only one-fourth of the soil actually yields fruit. By our standard this could be seen as failure, a 25% success rate but not in the eyes of the sower. The sower is confident in the seed (the word of God) and knows that he can spread it as many places as possible and doesn't have to worry about which will prosper because on the right soil it will.

The Imbued Seed is input focused, because our Creator designed us to be. A input focus means the primary focus will be on our intended identity or in other words "taking hold of that which is truly life" (1 Timothy 6:19) as laid out by the One who made us and saves us. This is a seed imbued by the truth as the name denotes, the truth that is only found in Jesus. That life, imbued with the truth, is one of sonship with God (Romans 8:15-16), freedom in life (Galatians 5:1), and bearing fruit because we are abiding in the true Vine (John 15:1-5). Let us be transformed as our minds are renewed to look more like the image of our Creator (Romans 12:1, Colossians 3:10).
