About this episode
The episode discusses how to find peace through prayer, surrendering control, and shifting one's theology.
Have you ever felt like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? For years, I lived with a "raging river of angst" under the surface—trying to be my own protector and provider while the pressure of leadership and life slowly took me out. In this message, I’m sharing something I have never taught in my 36 years as a senior pastor. It’s not just about words; it’s a shift in theology that moved me from living under undoing pressure to receiving God’s profound peace. We’ll explore: The Bridge of Prayer: How prayer moves us from self-sufficiency to total dependence on the Lord. Finding Calm in the Storm: Why we should stop asking God to change the storms around us and start asking Him to change the storm within us. Surrendering Control: Recognizing that we are not the primary protectors or providers for our families or our lives—He is. Whether you’re a long-time believer or "spiritually unresolved," there is a peace available to you that doesn't depend on your circumstances. Join us as we learn how to truly say, "God’s got this."
