Summer REPLAY E1: Surrendering Even When You "Know" Better

Send us Fan MailOver the summer we'll be re-releasing some of our most popular episodes from season one. First on the list is "Surrendering Even When You 'Know' Better." This episode originally aired on November 20, 2024. Enjoy!SHOW NOTESIn today’s episode, we’re going to step on some of my fellow recovering-control-freak’s toes. We’ll start with Jesus asking Simon (Peter) to lower his nets in the sea after he’s been fishing all night and caught nothing. As a fisherman by trade, Peter KNOWS BETTER, yet he answers, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets” (Luke 5:5 esv).When we’re talking about God’s invitation to surrender, there is no caveat that says we can wait until it starts to make sense to us.How About You?Which of your past experiences does Peter’s example trigger in your memory?Do you still find yourself hung up on waiting for the understanding to come before the surrender?  Are there any practices/habits you have implemented that have helped you be able to surrender before you understood the why?Places where we can continue this conversation:In the comments on joyabad.comEmail at [email protected] Instagram @joyabaddotcomStay up to date on all our conversations and the resources I’m creating for you by subscribing to my monthly newsletter on joyabad.com.
