Picking up in James 4:1-17, we’re looking at what happens when we finally stop fighting for control and start leaning into God’s grace. True submission isn't about losing your identity, but rather about finding your place in a much bigger story. From the conflicts that arise when we want our own way to the pride of thinking we know exactly what next year holds, James challenges us to trade our self-reliance for a humble, \"if the Lord wills\" perspective. It’s a call to draw near to God with the confidence that He is already moving toward us. Join us as we explore how to live a life that is fully surrendered and find the peace that comes with it.
