How do we surrender when God’s plan is overwhelming? Can hope thrive in uncertainty? What does it mean to trust God completely? In today’s episode, Jeff explores Luke 1:26–38 and shows how Mary’s encounter with Gabriel demonstrates that God’s power overwhelms the impossible and allows us to surrender and trust him.
