Stop Trying To Surrender (Do This Instead)

About this episode

This episode explores the concept of true surrender and the illusion of control in our lives.

📲 Make God a daily habit in your life: https://onelink.to/cothdailyapp This episode explores why true surrender has nothing to do with effort, how control is an illusion most people never admit to, and why you can't change people no matter how hard you try. The conversation covers trusting God in all circumstances, what it really means to let go, and how understanding that you were never in control is the only path to real peace.
