576 // Freedom in Letting Go: Shifting the Focus From Self to God (Bible Study and Devotional)
Description
Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a reminder that prayer is never wasted, even when it feels like God already has everything figured out. We introduce our weeks’ scripture study from Jeremiah 1:4–8 and also begin our new devotional, Free of Me: Why Life Is Better When It’s Not All About You by Sharon Hodde Miller, with a powerful truth: life is not about us—it’s all about Him.
If you’ve ever wrestled with whether your prayers really matter or carried the heavy weight of being the “main character” in your story, this conversation will bring freedom. Together, we’ll explore how shifting our focus off ourselves and onto God lifts the burden of performance, people-pleasing, and rejection, leading us to a peace only He can give.
🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.
