Description

What happens when the very thing you've poured your heart into becomes the thing God is asking you to release?

In this episode, we unpack the story of Abraham and Isaac. This isn't just an ancient tale of dramatic sacrifice. It's the blueprint for one of the hardest decisions we face in modern life: walking away from work, projects, and opportunities that feel like everything we've built our security on.

You know that moment when you realize your project leader's ethics don't align with your values? When the goals you've been chasing feel hollow and far from noble? When God makes it crystal clear you should step away—but doing so feels like watching years of hard work, financial security, and professional recognition crumble in your hands?

We get it. And we're going there.

This episode tackles the gut-wrenching reality of what it means to trust God when He asks us to surrender not just our dreams, but our sense of safety, our reputation, and the very things that make us feel valuable in the world's eyes.

We explore:

  • Why we cling so desperately to work and achievements (even when they're slowly compromising our souls)
  • The internal war between "never give up on your dreams" and God's call to let go
  • How to discern when it's time to walk away—and how to actually do it
  • The terror of trusting God's provision when everything looks like loss
  • Practical steps for navigating the anxiety, guilt, and fear that come with major surrenders

If you've ever felt God tugging at your heart to release something you've worked incredibly hard to build—whether it's a career path, a business venture, or a relationship that's become more important than your integrity—this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
