Send us Fan MailWhat if surrender feels hard not because you’re failing… but because your heart posture hasn’t shifted yet?In this episode, Chelsey dismantles one of the most misunderstood ideas in Christian marriage: the belief that surrender starts with doing. Instead, true surrender begins with right order and right view—of God, of yourself, and of your role as a wife.Drawing from Scripture and lived experience, Chelsey shows why striving to “surrender better” actually reveals a misplaced focus, and how awe, gratitude, and reverence for God unlock the posture that makes surrender natural—not forced.You’ll learn:Why surrender is impossible without the right heart postureHow right order restores peace before behavior ever changesWhat Scripture reveals about awe, humility, and obedienceWhy surrender overflows from gratitude, not effortHow this shift transforms the way you show up in marriageIf surrender feels confusing, heavy, or out of reach, this episode will help you stop trying—and start seeing.
