E17: Let Go of Control and Lean into His Greatness

What this episode covers

We love to make plans, map out the details, and feel in control. But what happens when life takes a turn we didn’t expect—and God’s plan doesn’t match ours?In this episode of Simple Yes, Mel and Jess talk about the tension between our desire to steer and God’s invitation to surrender. From missed opportunities to unexpected blessings, we explore what it means to trust that God is still working, even when things don’t go "our way."We’ll talk about learning to give thanks in the chaos, not just after it’s resolved… and how even in our missteps, He never lets us go.Because the reality is that letting go of control isn’t losing—it’s leaning into the greatness of a God who sees the whole picture.If you’ve ever wrestled with disappointment, uncertainty, or the fear of messing up God's plan, this conversation is for you.Be sure to like and subscribe for new episodes and updates!Full episodes and videos on ⁠simple-yes.com⁠Follow us on ⁠Instagram⁠ for bonus content and more at instagram.com/simple.yes.showMusic by AudioCoffee: https://www.audiocoffee.net/
