Power Made Perfect: Surrender

There are some things in our lives we simply cannot fix. But that doesn’t stop us from trying. We grip tighter. We work harder. We run every scenario through our heads. We tell ourselves, “If I can just figure this out, I can make it okay.” But eventually, we have to face the truth: we were never in control to begin with. This week, Victor and I continue our Power Made Perfect series with the next step in the process of restoration: surrender. Vulnerability required the mask to die. Humility required our pride and self-sufficiency to die. Now surrender requires something else to die: Control. Last week, humility brought us to the place where we could finally admit, “I can’t save myself.” But admitting we need a Savior and actually letting Him save us are two very different things. In this episode, we talk about: 🔹Why surrender is not weakness, passivity, or giving up. 🔹Why our need for control is often driven by fear. 🔹Why we struggle to trust the goodness of God. 🔹The difference between trusting God and trying to control the outcome. 🔹Why surrender has to become a daily choice, not a one-time decision. 🔹How our past wounds and disappointments can make it difficult to trust God. 🔹Why surrender still requires us to act and cooperate with God’s grace. 🔹How Jesus Himself shows us what true surrender looks like. 🔹Practical ways to identify what you're still holding onto and finally give it to God. Maybe there’s something in your life right now that you’ve been white-knuckling—your marriage, your children, your future, your finances, your health, a wound, or a struggle you just can’t seem to overcome. At some point, we have to open our hands. Surrender isn’t giving up. It’s giving God permission to do what only He can do. The question is: Will you let Him?
