🎙️ Releasing Control – Letting God Lead When You Want to Do It All
If you’ve ever felt like you have to be the one to do it all — this episode is for you.
In Episode 7 of the 13:22 Life Podcast, I’m talking about what it really looks like to release control and trust God with every part of your life — your business, your schedule, your finances, your health, your outcomes. I'm sharing the tension I’ve felt between faith and works, strategy and surrender, and how I’m learning (in real time) to trust God more and grip less.
In this episode:
- The truth about overplanning and overworking
- Why faith + obedience ≠ burnout
- What happens when you stop trying to be your own god
- How I’m shifting from doing everything to stewarding what’s mine
📖 Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11, Matthew 25:21
