Description

Hey Sis! 🎙️


Today’s episode invites us to slow down and surrender. Through Philippians 3:8–11, we’re reminded of Paul’s heart posture: that nothing compares to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ. This powerful truth echoes our devotional, “9 Truths for Living God’s Way” by Dr. Charles Stanley, where we learn that surrender is the true starting point of faith.


When we release control, God replaces our striving with peace and our self-made plans with His perfect design. It’s in yielding—letting go of what once defined us—that we discover real freedom and fulfillment in Him. If you’ve been holding tightly to things that were never meant to anchor you, this episode will help you rest in the One who already knows and loves you completely. 👋
