Yesterday, we sold basically everything we own. The long-prepared “surrender sale” finally happened, and today I am sitting here exhausted, tender, and raw—recording this episode in real time.

I share stories from the sale, including Reverie’s crib, a woman who bought Valor's rocker and the piano for $1000 out of pure generosity. I open up about the grief and lament that follows this kind of surrender.

In the middle of it all, I return to a piece of writing I penned weeks ago: a Bible study on Genesis 22, the story of Abraham and Isaac. I originally wrote it as part of an application for The Daily Grace Co., but today I believe the Lord had me write it for my own heart too.

This episode is both weary and hopeful: a reminder that God’s character is trustworthy, even when obedience costs everything.
