Summary
We all say we trust God—until His plan starts looking different than ours. In this episode, we talk honestly about control, ambition, surrender, and the struggle of wanting God’s will while still clinging tightly to our own life plans. In a world constantly telling us to hustle harder, chase success, and make things happen for ourselves, how do you actually live surrendered to God instead of obsessed with outcomes? How do you work hard without making achievement your identity? How do you let go of control without becoming passive? And how do you trust that God’s way is better when your own plans are all you can think about? This conversation is about the tension between faith and control, learning to release the pressure of having everything figured out, and realizing that surrender isn’t losing your life—it’s trusting the One who already holds it. Because sometimes the hardest thing to hand over to God… is the future you already planned for yourself.
