Feeling burned out from ministry, chasing blessings with the wrong motives, or wondering why love seems missing even with spiritual gifts? In Spirit Stream #35, Nick Griemsmann brings a raw, honest teaching on true surrender, releasing idols and ego, and why love is the greatest — far above spiritual gifts, according to 1Corinthians 13.

Discover powerful truths about:
• The danger of making ministry, business ideas, or blessings into idols
• Surrendering personal ambitions so God can bring real blessing and intimacy with the Holy Spirit
• 1Corinthians 13 in depth: Love is patient, kind, not envious, not proud, and never fails — the true test of maturity
• The simplicity of the gospel: Confess Jesus as Lord, believe in His resurrection, and receive new life by His grace
• Renewing the mind, avoiding worldly lusts, and focusing on the cross instead of self-effort
• Practical encouragement: How surrendering “my way” opens the door for God’s better plan

Nick shares openly about his 15+ years in ministry, past burnout, struggles with identity tied to ideas, and how honest surrender brought freedom and fresh love for people.

This stream is full of practical wisdom, gentle correction, and a strong closing prayer for surrender, heart change, and Holy Ghost filling. If you need freedom from striving, ego, or performance — and want to grow in genuine love — this teaching will refresh and challenge you!

🙏 Watch until the end for anointed prayer and encouragement!
