When Surrender Means Freedom

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Digging Deep for Treasures, my special guest Kelly Kirby Worley, and I talk about the topic of surrender. I don’t know about you, but I find that word difficult to swallow. The dictionary defines surrender as to “cease resistance to an enemy or opponent and submit to their authority. For me, thinking of the word surrender brings to mind the words, “losing face, swallowing my pride, and accepting defeat.” So how could surrender mean freedom? You might think-- isn't surrender and freedom paradoxical? So how can that be? Well, you'll have to find the answer to that when you listen to this episode of Digging Deep for Treasure. Kelly Kirby Worley is an artist, writer, and Bible teacher passionate about helping women discover that the secret to living a happy life is ever-increasing intimacy with Christ. A passion, she says, is birthed from an overflow of gratitude for what God has done and continues to do in her own heart and life: "Hearing His voice before the noise of the world and its people profoundly affected me. Today, my Breakfast with God, a/k/a, BWG, is my favorite past-time, and it's from this place of ever-increasing intimacy with Jesus, a writer was born." Kelly is an active member, volunteer leader, and Blog contributor for COMPEL Training, a faith-based online training community for writers founded by Lysa TerKeurst, President of Proverbs 31 Ministries. Kelly’s 30-day online Bible study designed to help women cultivate intimacy with Jesus and a love for God's Word had to be rescheduled due to Covid.
