What happens when achievement, discipline, and control aren't enough?

In this heartfelt episode of The Knock Podcast, Maria Granados shares her powerful journey of faith, surrender, and rediscovering her true identity in Christ. From being the high-achieving student and athlete to facing personal battles that brought her to her knees, Maria opens up about the moment she realized her strength wasn't enough—and how God met her there.

Maria also shares how her daughter's battle with a rare pediatric disease reshaped her faith and calling. What began as heartbreak became the spark behind the Take Part Foundation, where Maria now advocates and raises support for other families facing similar challenges. Through her daughter's story, she discovered what true surrender looks like—trusting God to provide purpose, community, and hope in the midst of suffering.

She talks openly about the tension of using social media as a tool for ministry while guarding against ego and distraction. Maria reminds us that even with just a few followers, the impact of one God-centered post can change a life.

This conversation is an encouragement for anyone who feels weighed down by the pressures of performance or the noise of the online world. Maria's testimony is a reminder that freedom comes not from striving harder, but from surrendering fully—and living out the truth that our unshakable identity is as children of God.
