112. Breaking the Striving Cycle: How Obedience Unlocks Peace in Your Walk with God With Jessica Smith

In today’s episode of The Abundant Woman Collective, Jessica Smith and Samantha have a heart-to-heart conversation about what it means to truly surrender to God and break the cycle of striving.

They dive deep into personal experiences of overworking, self-reliance, and the constant pressure to control outcomes, and how God has shifted their perspectives through obedience, submission, and trust.

Key topics discussed include:

  • Jessica’s journey of letting go of control in her business and how God taught her to rest in His plans.
  • Samantha’s reflections on the story of Mary and Martha, and how she transitioned from a Martha mindset of constant doing to a Mary mindset of sitting at Jesus' feet.
  • The power of obedience in even the smallest acts, like setting up a prayer tent, and how it opens doors to unexpected blessings and revelations.
  • How striving affects women in all areas of life, whether as entrepreneurs, moms, or in their careers, and how surrendering to God brings peace.
  • The importance of community, mentorship, and discipleship in our walk with Christ, and how being around like-minded women has helped them stay grounded in faith.
  • Obedience and the freedom it brings: How listening to the Holy Spirit leads to breakthrough moments that shift everything.
