66. What Are You White-Knuckling? How to Finally Surrender It to God w/ MASON and LAURA MILLIKEN

Did you find The Energy to Heal after seeing Laura and Mason on TBN's Praise? Welcome! We're so glad you're here. This episode is a great place to start. This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, Laura Milliken is joined by her husband, Mason Millican, for a deeply personal conversation about surrender, emotional healing, marriage, business, and what it actually looks like to stop white-knuckling your life and trust God with the outcome. What happens when you've prayed, worked, strategized, worried, and tried everything you know to do—and you still can't control what happens next? Laura and Mason explore the difference between simply saying we trust God and reaching the point where we're genuinely willing to release the outcome to Him. They discuss how attachments—to people, money, success, our children, our reputation, or even the future we've imagined—can quietly begin controlling our emotions and stealing our peace. Mason shares a defining moment from his own entrepreneurial journey when his company was $70,000 short on a Friday and he finally confronted the reality that he couldn't keep carrying the weight of the business himself. What happened next became a powerful lesson in surrender. Laura also explains how unresolved trauma and subconscious beliefs can create emotional reactions we don't fully understand. Through examples from Splankna sessions, marriage, parenting, business, and everyday relationships, Laura and Mason explore how going beneath the surface can reveal what we're actually afraid to lose. In this episode: What surrender to God actually looks like in real life How to recognize when you're "white-knuckling" an outcome Why fear, anxiety, anger, and control may point to something deeper How subconscious beliefs and past experiences can influence present-day reactions What an attachment is and how to recognize one Mason's story of facing a $70,000 business crisis and finally releasing the outcome Why surrender doesn't mean passivity or giving up How attachments show up in marriage and relationships The difference between loving someone and trying to control them Why other people's decisions don't have to determine your peace How surrender has transformed Laura and Mason's marriage What it means to trust God with your children, reputation, finances, and future Why the places where you're most exhausted may reveal what you're gripping most tightly How freedom grows when we're willing to trust God even with the outcome we fear most Laura and Mason close with two questions worth sitting with in prayer: What am I holding on to? What line am I unwilling to cross? Sometimes the thing we're fighting hardest to control is the very thing God is asking us to place back into His hands. 🎟️ Want To Become a Practitioner?
