Why Surrendering to God is so Hard (and why it changes everything) | Season 9 Ep 2

from Grab the Faith · host Bobi Gentry Goodwin

Send us Fan MailThe day starts before sunrise, and so does the heart work. We open with Genesis 3 and confront a familiar tug: the urge to know, to control, to push past God’s guardrails in the name of getting all the answers.  We share the “three P’s” we’ve been exploring—position, power, and pride—and zoom in on power as the quiet prompting to be “like God" rears up in Eve. That desire manifests in subtle ways: seeking outcomes without obedience, pursuing certainty over wisdom, and treating boundaries as cages rather than a source of care. Through the text, we explore why God’s limits protect and what it truly means to submit to God’s authority in a world that often rewards self-rule.If this speaks to you, subscribe, share with a friend who needs courage to surrender, and leave a review with one takeaway you’re putting into practice this week. Your reflections help us serve you better and enable more people to find hope and guidance that lead to a better life.Support the showSTAY CONNECTED...Please be sure to RATE, REVIEW, and SUBSCRIBE.WEBSITE: Want the latest news and exclusive content from Bobi?
