Letting Go of Control to God | Ep 80

Why is letting go of control to God so difficult?In this episode, Brian Fisher continues the Kingdom Dwellers mini-series by exploring one of the most challenging qualities of deep discipleship: releasing control. Many of us attempt to control situations, conversations, relationships, reputations, finances, emotions, and even God Himself. But beneath that need for control may be unresolved sorrow, suffering, anxiety, and hidden losses we have never allowed ourselves to feel.Drawing from Hinds’ Feet on High Places, Curt Thompson, Adam Young, and the life of Jesus, Brian explores why anxiety and control often function as ways to avoid helplessness and pain. He also reflects on Jesus’ extraordinary freedom—His refusal to manipulate, perform, defend Himself, or control outcomes.Ultimately, this episode suggests that letting go of control is not simply a matter of trying harder. It is the fruit of becoming securely attached to Jesus—learning, slowly and honestly, that we are seen, soothed, safe, and secure in Him.Join us online! Web: ⁠⁠soilandroots.org⁠⁠ Substack: ⁠ https://soilandroots.substack.com/
