Upright Christian Parenting - Treehouse Storytelle... - After 15 Years, God called me to Walk Away

What happens when God asks you to walk away from something you’ve spent 15 years building? Something you love. Something that helped shape you. Something that provided for your family. Something you once believed God Himself had placed in your hands. In this deeply personal episode of the Upright Christian Parenting Podcast, host, author, homeschool mom, and Christian parent Hannah Pierrou shares a story she hasn’t fully told before—a testimony of hearing God’s voice, wrestling with surrender, trusting His provision, and finding the courage to obey when His calling no longer looks the way you expected. The story begins years ago: a sleepy new-mama season, a husband deployed overseas, 29 days of silence, and an unexpected lifeline that would eventually grow into something Hannah could never have predicted. For 15 years, God used it. He grew it. He provided through it. And then, quietly, Hannah began to sense Him asking her to do the one thing she never expected: Walk away. But how do you know when it’s really God asking you to let go? What do you do when obedience to God collides with financial security? When the thing you’re being asked to surrender isn’t bad—but good? When walking by faith means releasing something familiar before you can clearly see what comes next? Hannah shares the private wrestling behind the decision: the whispers she initially questioned, the fear surrounding finances, the moments of confirmation, and what began happening when she finally said yes. And that’s where the story takes a turn. Unexpected provision. New opportunities. Doors opening at just the right time. And a growing realization that perhaps God wasn’t simply asking Hannah to end something. He was making room for something else. If you’re in a season of transition, waiting, surrender, career change, Christian motherhood, finding your purpose, discerning God’s will, or trying to hear God’s voice, this episode is for you. It’s a vulnerable Christian testimony about trusting God when you don’t have the whole plan, following the Holy Spirit, choosing faith over fear, recognizing when God is closing a season, and having the courage to obey before you know the outcome. Because sometimes the hardest thing God asks us to surrender isn’t something wrong. Sometimes it’s something we love. And sometimes you don’t understand why He’s asking you to lay it down until you finally open your hands.
