In this special coffee‑chat episode of With Grit & Grace: Men of Courage, Women of Valor, Angela Linville and co‑host Lisa Vanderveen explore the spiritual and practical significance of the Hebrew month of Av, a season marked by both mourning and comfort, destruction and restoration.

They share how this prophetic time on God’s calendar intersects with the challenges Kingdom builders face...especially the weight of building alone...and why stepping into new assignments often requires new structures, new relationships, and strategic, Spirit‑aligned support.

This is a deeply honest conversation about letting go of what no longer fits, embracing the “new wine” God is pouring out, and building in community rather than isolation.

• The prophetic meaning of Av and how it marks the shift from mourning to comfort, destruction to restoration.

• Why new wine requires new wineskins, and how this applies to your vision, relationships, and structures.

• The spiritual and strategic cost of building alone, and how to move toward collaborative, Kingdom‑aligned support.

• How to discern who belongs in your “wine cellar” for the next season.

• The role of Hebrew months in discerning timing and alignment for your Kingdom assignments.

• How God often uses strategic partnerships to multiply your impact, sharpen your discernment, and lighten your load.

• Luke 5:37‑38 – New wine must be poured into new wineskins.

• Examples from Moses building the tabernacle and Nehemiah rebuilding the wall...biblical templates for collaborative building.

• The dual themes of Av:

  • Destruction & loss – A time to release what can’t carry the next season.

  • Restoration & new beginnings – An invitation to step into covenant relationships and fresh assignments.

We’d love to hear:

• Where are you sensing God calling you to release the old?

• How have you experienced the shift from building alone to building with Spirit‑aligned support?

• Who might God be highlighting as part of your “wine cellar” in this next season?

Drop your thoughts, prayer requests, or reflections in the comments...we pray over each one individually.
