You Are The Power - The Shift From Striving to Surrender with Rev. Colin Bates

What if everything you’ve been striving for is already within you? Reverend Colin Bates explores surrender, power, and the illusion of separation. In this deeply grounding and insightful conversation, Jason sits down with Reverend Colin Bates, respected medium, teacher, and minister, to explore one of the most misunderstood spiritual principles — the idea that true power is found not through striving, but through surrender.Together, they explore the shift from seeking validation, control, and external achievement, towards recognising the divine intelligence already present within us. Colin shares profound yet practical wisdom on working with spirit, understanding consciousness, and allowing mediumship and life itself to unfold through trust rather than effort.This conversation gently challenges many of the spiritual myths around “trying harder” and instead invites listeners into a space of presence, surrender, and remembering who they truly are.What You’ll Hear• Why striving can actually block spiritual and personal growth • The difference between effort and surrender in mediumship • Understanding consciousness as an expression of universal intelligence • How fear and control create the illusion of separation • Why mediumship works best when we stop trying to perform • The relationship between trust, presence, and spiritual connection • How surrender strengthens confidence rather than weakens it • Practical reflections listeners can apply in everyday lifeWho This Episode Is For• Those developing mediumship or spiritual awareness • Listeners feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or pushing too hard in life • Anyone questioning their purpose or sense of direction • People interested in consciousness and spiritual philosophy • Those seeking a calmer, more trusting relationship with lifeMentions & Ideas• Sitting in the power and working with presence • The role of trust in mediumship development • Consciousness as universal intelligence • The illusion of control in spiritual growth • Living from inner authority rather than external validationGentle NoteThis episode explores spiritual and philosophical perspectives around consciousness and mediumship.
