What to Keep, What to Release

Do you ever feel like you are carrying more than you were meant to hold? This episode is for the places where the weight shows up in your life. The extra roles, expectations, and commitments that once served you but now quietly drain you.    We'll talk about why releasing is so hard even when it is right, what is happening in the brain when we cling to what no longer fits, and how God leads us into freedom without shame or fear.   If you have felt a nudge to live lighter, slower, or closer to God but aren't sure where to start, this conversation will offer guidance, relief, and a gentle next step as the year draws to a close.   You will hear: • Why the brain resists letting go even when God is inviting it • How over-responsibility and identity keep us overloaded • The neuroscience behind why doing more feels safer than doing less • How abiding in God rewires us for peace, trust, and change   💡Today's Big Idea: Releasing is not failure, it is faith. ⚡️Today's Small Step: Sign up to join us for the FREE Year of Overflowing Grace Vision Retreat at www.paceofgrace.com/2026.   **** LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE: Virtual Vision Retreat: A Year of Overflowing Grace December 16th, 2025, join us for a free, virtual vision retreat.
