8. Stepping Into Service + Surrendering Control

In today’s episode, Molly and Jenn drop in for a real-time catch-up on what God has been doing over the last few months — in business, in finances, in identity, and in the slow (but holy) work of surrender.Molly shares what it’s looked like to burn her business down and rebuild with God at the center, including the unexpected pruning that came with starting a brand-new Instagram and watching vanity metrics rise… and then crash. Jenn opens up about the tug-of-war between a servant heart and the need for control — especially in seasons where you want success fast and God keeps asking you to go deeper.Together, they talk about the lion’s den of idolatry in online business, the myth that “if it’s from God it will be easy,” and the very human practice of laying something down at God’s feet… and then trying to pick it back up again with your “little controlling hands.” (Relatable.)And in a big update: Molly and Jenn share the decision to open the Living Liberated community as a donation-based women’s ministry — making it accessible to more women who are finding their way home to God.If you’ve been striving, gripping, chasing outcomes, or feeling like your peace is tied to your results… this one is for you.What You’ll Hear In This Episode:What surrender actually looks like (beyond the cute one-liner)Why online business can become a “lion’s den” for idolatry and validationHow God uses “slow seasons” to prune attachment to outcomesThe reality of financial squeezing seasons — and how God provides anywayWhy your struggle often comes from attachment to a specific outcomeJenn’s honest reflection: “God has been trying to teach me this for a long time… I still haven’t gotten it”BIG update: Living Liberated is becoming a free, donation-based women’s ministry spaceHow you can support the show + the mission (reviews, shares, and giving)______________________________________________________________Join the 'In His Image' Waitlist!A faith-rooted space for women devoted to healing, embodiment, and walking with God in real life — together.
