Self-Preservation vs. Surrender | What Losing Your Life Really Means | Mark 8:35 with Kate Westwood

What if the thing you’re clinging to is actually holding you back from the life God has for you? In this episode, Ash and Kate unpack one of the most confronting verses in the Bible: “For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it” (Mark 8:35). Together, they explore what it means to truly surrender—especially in a world that celebrates self-preservation. From building “spiritual shock absorbers” to navigating the wrestle between spirit and flesh, this conversation is an honest reflection on daily choices, spiritual resilience, and trusting God with your whole life. Whether you’re thriving or just trying to make it through the week, this episode invites you to consider how you're living—and who you're living for.
