More to Be Podcast

#202: Letting Go of Control


Listen Later

The founder of More to Be and your host of the podcast, Elisa Pulliam, is joined by friend and special guest, Jennifer Dukes Lee, for a power-packed discussion about our identity in Christ. They wind their way through the Scriptures, looking at what it means to be "the one whom Jesus keeps on loving" and how that changes everything about how we live and trust God more. This episode is packed with hope, wisdom, and a good laugh about mammograms . . .


There's not an off-ramp for metrics. You're groomed on the on-ramp. - Elisa

Maybe your 40s is your off-ramp season . . . when you come to terms with the answer, "no." - Elisa

Jesus was the defining relationship in John's life. - Jennifer

We will always surrender our lives to the defining love or influence in our life. - Jennifer

What is the defining love and influence in your life? - Jennifer

If we love anyone or anything more than God, then that is our idol . . . that is what we are a "disciple" to. - Elisa

Are we going to sit next to Jesus, secure in our identity or looking a Jesus from afar? - Jennifer

Beloved: The disciple whom Jesus keeps on loving. 

We are the ones Jesus keeps on loving. - Jennifer

You are not the Christ. - Jennifer 

I want women to have a fresh encounter with God and not a fresh encounter with me. - Elisa
