#58 | Plant Seeds You May Never See Bloom

Episode Summary

Some of your greatest work will never carry your name. In this episode, Mikel reminds us that kingdom impact is about planting seeds—even if someone else waters or reaps.

Episode Notes

Not all seeds you plant will bloom in your lifetime—and that’s okay. In this episode, Mikel challenges the idea that our work should always be seen, credited, or celebrated. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 3:6, the wisdom of N.T. Wright, and the legacy mindset of planting “trees whose shade you’ll never sit in,” he reminds us that kingdom impact is about obedience, not ego. Whether in leadership, ministry, or daily life, this is your call to keep planting faithfully, knowing God brings the growth—even if you never see it.

Episode Transcription

Some of the most important work you’ll ever do won’t have your name on it. Mikel reminds us that we’re called to plant seeds we may never see bloom. From quiet acts of faithfulness to moments that go unnoticed, these are often the foundations of integrity and legacy. Using the wisdom of N.T. Wright and 1 Corinthians 3:6, he challenges us to release our ego and remember that it’s not about who gets the credit—it’s about who gets the glory. You may never sit in the shade of the tree you plant, but others will. God sees the seeds, and He is the one who brings the growth.
