This week on Rooted and Raw, we’re getting honest about self-reliance. Where in your life are you trying to hold it all together instead of letting God hold you?

We talk about the pressure to be strong, the exhaustion that comes with it, and the truth that we were never meant to do life on our own. This episode is a reminder that surrender isn’t weakness—it’s trust. And real strength is found when we finally let go.
