Surrendering the Will: When Belief Isn’t Enough and Jesus Becomes Lord


Listen Later

The greatest battle of faith is often not belief—but surrender.

In this episode of Out of Focus, Shannon Stewart sits down with her mother for an intimate and powerful conversation about the battle of the will, persistent prayer, and trusting God through long seasons of waiting.

After achieving what many would call the American dream, Shannon’s mom shares how emptiness led her to Christ—and how true transformation only came through surrender. Together, they reflect on decades of prayer for family members, learning to release control, and believing God is still working even when nothing appears to be changing.

This episode offers a rare, honest look at:

• surrendering the right to yourself

• Jesus as both Savior and Lord

• praying for loved ones without visible results

• trusting God’s timing over human urgency

• finding hope when faith feels costly

It is a testimony of endurance, grace, and the quiet faith that refuses to give up.

For anyone praying for a spouse, parent, child, or loved one— this episode is a reminder that as long as there is breath, there is hope.

"The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." (James 5:16)
