#69 - There Is Safety In Surrender

I know, it's been awhile! I'm back and life sure has changed since the last time we were together. Tune in to hear all about my pregnancy:)

What if the very thing you’re holding onto is what’s holding you back? In this episode, Safety in Surrender, we explore how tension, fear, and control can actually create more damage-while true safety is found in letting go. A closed hand can’t receive, but when you release what you’ve been gripping, you make room for God’s peace, provision, and direction.

From sending the text, making the call, or offering encouragement, we explore how love given still matters even when it isn’t returned or received the way we hoped.You’ll be reminded that your “yes” to small obedience can create ripple effects you may never see, reaching farther than you realize and impacting lives in quiet but powerful ways. Sometimes the smallest gestures carry the greatest weight—and one simple act might change someone’s entire life.

Becoming love-and operating from love-is what will protect and sustain you  in every season. Love keeps you patient when people test you, steady when emotions rise, and grounded when life feels uncertain. Becoming love isn’t weakness-it’s the strongest foundation you can build your life on.

Offense is inevitable, but taking it is optional. When you carry offense, it creates stress—and stress shows. It hardens your expression, your tone, your presence. You experience true peace when you choose to let go of hurt and offense. Ephesians 4:31-32 "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.  Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

In this episode, we dive into John 8 and explore how true forgiveness transforms you from the inside out. Jesus didn’t just tell the woman caught in adultery to stop sinning—He revealed her new identity as a forgiven daughter of God and her new way of life. We unpack how forgiveness removes condemnation, empowers you to walk in grace, and awakens the new nature God has given you. Tune in to discover how forgiveness isn’t just a pardon—it’s a transformative life-changing gift.

Confidence isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you build. Every time you show up, even when it’s hard, you’re strengthening discipline and trust in yourself (and in God working through you).Repetition creates endurance. Endurance produces growth. Growth produces confidence.Don’t underestimate small, consistent effort—it compounds.

Just keep showing up, don't stop, keep going!“He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers." Psalm 1:1-3

Romans 5:1-2 “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand…”

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” — Philippians 4:6 (ESV)
