Letting go is hard. Losing control feels like weakness. But what if that's where healing begins?

In this episode, we're joined by John Eklund from Recovery Alive to talk about surrender, powerlessness, and the freedom that comes when we stop trying to fix it all ourselves. From the story of the demoniac in Mark 5 to Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11, we're reminded that healing isn't about control—it's about trust.

Trusting God is one thing — trusting people? That's where it gets messy. In this episode, we're talking about how to live in that tension. What does it look like to fully trust God while still being wise with the people we let into our lives? From Abraham's wild trust in God's promises to Jesus setting boundaries even with His closest friends, we explore what healthy faith and healthy relationships look like. If you've ever been burned by someone or wrestled with whether God really has your back, this one's for you. Proverbs 3:5-6 says to trust with all your heart — but most of us are still holding pieces back. Let's talk about why... and how to start letting go.

All things work together for good..." but not always in the way we expect.

Today we are talking about Romans 8:28. It isn't a promise of an easy ride—it's a guarantee that God is working behind the scenes, turning every twist and turn into something good. This isn't about comfort; it's about transformation. So, let's loosen our grip, trust the process, and embrace the adventure of becoming who we're meant to be!

Being a peacemaker doesn't mean tiptoeing around conflict or keeping everyone happy. Matthew 5:9 isn't about playing it safe—it's about stepping into the mess to bring real, lasting peace. True peacemaking is bold, uncomfortable, and sometimes downright chaotic. In this episode, we break down what it really means to be a peacemaker like Jesus, why avoiding conflict isn't the answer, and how trusting God in the tension leads to real restoration.

"God won't give you more than you can handle" — we've all heard it, but is that what 1 Corinthians 10:13 really says? Spoiler: Nope. This verse isn't about suffering; it's about temptation. In this episode, we unpack the real meaning behind Paul's words and why life will bring more than we can handle—but that's exactly why we need God and community. Let's rethink how we face hardships and why we're never meant to do it alone.
