how do i surrender to god

173 – Is there anything you need to surrender to God?

This week's episode is a parable about  six year-old Charlotte, who tries to take all 12 of her stuffed animals on a hike, crammed into her backpack.

But it's not so easy to keep them all tucked away. One after the other they either fall in the water, get left behind, get covered in mud, or fall in a thorn bush.

But Charlotte is determined to take all her "friends" with her each day.

Join in the fun and listen as the wise little six-year old summarizes the camping and hiking trip:

“I had the best time ever and my favorite thing was that I learned sometimes the things you love, hold you back when you hold onto them too much. Sometimes you have to let go of the things you love so you can go where you want to.”

The question is on the table for you and me: What will you take out of your overloaded backpack? What will you surrender so you can follow Christ more closely?

I also make mention of a conversation I had with my friend Pam Fields, host of The Mom Next Door: Stories of Faith Podcast. Pam shares how she was able to surrender something from the past and accepting the Holy Spirit's gift in exchange.

Are you about to surrender? Because I already have… TBH, I’ve been living like that for quite some time.

Sincerely, as we navigate through these uncertain times with so much shifting and suffering in the world, it can be difficult to see a path towards a prosperous life. 

But what if we told you that the act of surrender might be the key to unlocking abundance?

I know when we hear the word “surrender,” we probably think of defeat or giving up. But in reality, surrender is about letting go and accepting the present moment. It's about being open to something better coming along instead of clinging to a certain idea or vision of what we want. 

It may seem counterintuitive, but surrendering can lead to a state of mind where we can receive and enjoy all the good that life has to offer. And I know what I’m talking about… and what I’ve been practicing for years… and what you can do too.

I know, I know - I didn’t live in your shoes. But believe me, I was wearing very similar ones before I learned how to tap into the power of surrender and let go. 

And not only that I’m going to share my secret (well, it’s not really a secret, but it sounds powerful, lol), but I also have a fabulous guest (my soul sister) to help me explore the concept of surrender and abundance, and how it can help us navigate through uncertain times. 

She’s Grace Redman, an entrepreneur who has owned and managed one of the most successful staffing firms in the Bay Area for over 20 years. She is also a success and transformation coach and the author of the best-selling book, Can I Live?!: Dare to Go from F*cked Up to Fabulous. 

Grace has faced many adversities, but they didn’t stop her from achieving personal and professional success. On the contrary, she gained wisdom and experience. 

Now she works with ambitious heart-centered women to help them elevate their confidence, optimize their talents, achieve their goals, and increase their prosperity mindset. As a result, they create the fabulous life they have been dreaming of and inspire other women to do the same!

In this week’s podcast, we'll discuss the power of letting go, being open to better, and trusting the Universe. We'll also provide you with practical tips and exercises that you can use to help you on your way to prosperity.
