Are you carrying the weight of needing to have it all figured out?

This week, Elise Price returns with a deeply moving conversation that speaks straight to the woman who’s weary from striving. A retired pastor’s wife and devoted grandmother, Elise opens up about the unexpected ways God has taught her to surrender control—and why waiting on Him is always worth it.

From childhood abandonment and a devastating first marriage to the uncertainty of selling a home and starting over, Elise’s story is one of raw courage, real healing, and relentless faith. But more than that—it’s a reminder that God’s goodness is not reserved for perfect seasons. It shows up in the chaos, the clutter, and the quiet prayers of “God, I can’t do this without You.”

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, overlooked, or out of answers, this episode will wrap around your heart like a warm hug from Heaven. Through Elise’s testimony, you’ll be reminded that God sees every detail, holds every tear, and redeems every chapter.

You’ll discover:

How to stop spiraling in anxiety and start living with peace

What real surrender looks like in the middle of the unknown

Why your most broken moments might be your most powerful

And how God uses our ordinary days to do extraordinary work

This conversation will remind you that your story isn’t too messy, too late, or too far gone. There is hope. There is healing. And there is a loving God ready to lead you forward—one faithful step at a time.

Press play now and feel your soul exhale.

Psalm 139:23–24 – “Search me, O God, and know my heart… Point out anything in me that offends you.”

Holy Spirit, I invite You to search my heart and reveal the lies I’ve believed about money, worth, and control. I release perfectionism, performance, and pride. I receive peace in its place.

God you said, “Search me, O God…” (Psalm 139). Therefore, I am no longer a slave to striving. I will trust You to provide. {Insert your name}, you are and you will rest in God’s abundance and timing.
