Wow. Think of it. After all, you have questions! You’ve been known to have a problem or two. It would be great if you could find the answers you’re looking for. You crack open that Bible a couple of times but just as quickly shut it. You want to love digging into Scripture. Instead, you find it intimidating, judgmental, and maybe even unbelievable. Let’s change that. Hi! I’m Anna Moore Bradfield, an award-winning and bestselling author, Christian speaker, and facilitator of workshops and events. I’ve been where you are. Plenty of times. I’ve questioned if God cared at all about what I was going through. Did he even have a plan for my life? When I got up the guts to tell him to his face, I found that he had very broad shoulders and that he could take anything I dished out. Then he began revealing himself to me. In this podcast, we’ll share: • Stories from the Bible that reveal God’s interactions with His people, confirming His desire for intimate, consistent, and loving relationships. • Stories from everyday life that testify to…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T14:21:47.747384+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/god-s-power-stories-finding-god-s-lead-how-god-shows-up-bible-and-everyday-life-stories-approaching-god-with-boldness-7102580"},"episode":{"title":"078 | Loosed: Finding Freedom When You Can’t Control the Outcome","slug":"078-loosed-finding-freedom-when-you-can-t-control-the-outcome","published_at":"2026-02-17T06:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/god-s-power-stories-finding-god-s-lead-how-god-shows-up-bible-and-everyday-life-stories-approaching-god-with-boldness-7102580/078-loosed-finding-freedom-when-you-can-t-control-the-outcome","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/god-s-power-stories-finding-god-s-lead-how-god-shows-up-bible-and-everyday-life-stories-approaching-god-with-boldness-7102580","url":"https://godspowerstories.podbean.com/e/loosed-when-faith-wins-over-your-need-to-control/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/sfbfnm6fawvr3fqv/078_Letting_Go_and_Letting_God6oru4-ab4948-Optimized.mp3","summary":"What if the very thing you’re gripping so tightly is what’s keeping you from peace? In this heartfelt episode of the Faith Through Fiction miniseries, I open up about how writing Loosed—book three in The Lambswool Chronicles—became a mirror for my own struggle with control and surrender. Like Michal, the daughter of King Saul and wife of King David, I discovered that faith isn’t about forcing doors open but waiting to see which ones God unlocks. Through the writing process, I realized that “letting go” isn’t spiritual passivity. It’s active trust. It’s believing that God’s timing is kinder than my striving, and that His care is enough, even when I can’t see what’s next. 🔑 Key Takeaways Letting Go Doesn’t Mean Giving Up. It Means Trusting Differently.True surrender invites us to release control without losing conviction. Faith Isn’t About Control. It’s About Confidence in God’s Timing.Michal’s story, and mine, reveal how peace comes in the pause between letting go and God showing up. Every Story of Surrender Begins with Honesty.God can’t heal what we hide. When we bring Him our fear of losing control, He gives us rest in return. What Feels Like Loss Is Often Liberation.The lesson of Loosed, and of faith itself is that God’s will is not a punishment, it’s protection. Surrender Is the Doorway to Peace.The moment we unclench our hands, we discover God’s peace was waiting all along. 🌿 Key Themes Surrender • Faith Over Control • Letting Go of Outcomes • Trusting God’s Timing • Spiritual Freedom • Creative Faith • Redemption Through Story • The Lambswool Chronicles • Michal and King David • Biblical Fiction With Life Application • Living From Peace, Not Pressure • Faith Through Fiction • Embracing God’s Will • Letting Go in Faith 🤍 Who Will Benefit From This Episode ✓ Listene…","meta_description":"What if the very thing you’re gripping so tightly is what’s keeping you from peace?
