We relinquish sleep. Time. Comfort. Control. Plans. Dreams. And eventually, even our hearts as our children grow and leave home. And as much as we relinquish, there is still this subtlethread of ownership that runs through motherhood. That our children belong to us. In this episode, Elise shares the message she gave onMother’s Day on what it means to truly surrender our children to the Lord through the story of Hannah in 1 Samuel. Because surrendered motherhood is not just about givingthings up. It is about settling ownership. Our children are not ours to control. They are entrusted to us by God to steward. This conversation dives into: • Why control keeps us anxious • How convenience quietly shapes our parenting • Why comfort can become an idol • How to teach our children discernment instead of dependence on us • What it practically looks like to parent with open hands Surrendered Motherhood is hard. A surrendered life is hard. But not surrendering to the Lord is a different kind of hard. Pick your hard. ⁠⁠ How to connect with Raising Rock: Learn more about ⁠Raising Rock⁠ .
