Episode 18: The Giving of Self

About this episode

This episode explores the concept of surrender in prayer, challenging listeners to deepen their relationship with God.

In this episode of The Harvest Focus Podcast , we explore a powerful truth that often goes overlooked—some prayers don’t just require faith… they require surrender. Drawing from the story in Matthew 15, “The Giving of Self” challenges us to move beyond surface-level prayer and step into a deeper place where we don’t just ask God to move but we allow Him to move in us. What happens when someone else’s burden becomes your burden? What happens when prayer costs you something? This episode will challenge your perspective on prayer, stretch your faith, and call you into a more surrendered walk with God. If you’ve ever felt like your prayers were hitting a ceiling, this message may reveal what’s been missing. 🎧 Listen now and discover how a life poured out becomes a life filled with purpose and power.
