Have you ever wondered what it would truly look like to surrender your whole day to God —not just in theory, but in the real, messy, beautiful moments of life? In this episode, I'm sharing a personal story of how the Lord gently interrupted my plans and invited me into His. It wasn't easy. I had a full agenda—things to do, people to see, boxes to check off. But what unfolded when I chose to listen, surrender, and follow was far better than anything I had mapped out. This video is an invitation. To slow down. To listen. And to discover the peace and purpose that come when we follow God's plan instead of forcing our own. So come with me on this journey. Let's learn together how to surrender our day—and our hearts—to the One who knows exactly what we need. As always,

In today's episode, I am joined by Erin Harrigan, a Christian wife of 31 years, mom, business coach, author, and speaker. Erin shares her powerful journey of pursuing success while learning how to align her business and life with God's will. After giving her life to Christ at age 46, Erin's life took a complete turn as she embraced her relationship with Jesus and started navigating her business and career with a renewed purpose.Takeaways: 1. The Power of Surrender: Erin's story of overcoming her dependence on herself to lean fully on God highlights the importance of surrendering control. When you let God take the wheel, your life and career are filled with peace, clarity, and His guidance. 2. Redefining Success: Success in God's kingdom is not measured by worldly standards like wealth or status, but by deepening your relationship with Him and fulfilling His assignments for you. It's about being obedient and walking in His calling, even when it doesn't align with the world's expectations. 3. Trusting God's Timing: Erin's experience of trusting God's timing, even when things didn't go as planned, shows us that God's timing is always perfect. When we stop trying to “hustle” in our own strength, and instead focus on God's direction, He leads us to success in His way, not ours.Erin's journey is a powerful reminder that success God's way isn't about achieving for the sake of achievement—it's about walking in His will, embracing surrender, and letting Him define what success looks like for us.As you reflect on Erin's story, remember that God has uniquely equipped you to succeed in His way. Embrace His direction and trust that, in His time, you'll see the fruit of your obedience. Don't chase the world's version of success—pursue His calling for your life, and watch how He transforms your journey.Bio:Erin Harrigan is a Christian wife, empty nest mom, speaker, author, and Biblical business coach for high-achieving Christian women in business and the boardroom who seek to scale new heights in their business or career without compromising their faith. Using her 30+ years of corporate leadership and 12+ years of entrepreneurship, she helps sisters in Christ break free from the drain of “business as usual” by teaching them to redefine hustle and align business strategy and goals to God's truth. Erin's coaching provides women with a safe space to integrate their faith and business through strategy, accountability, focus, and encouragement in a judgment-free zone so they can transform the way they work and the results they achieve. She serves her audience through customized private business coaching, group coaching, speaking, podcasting, and writing.

Letting God's light shine as we live in this dark world can be pretty difficult. As we follow Jesus in a world that doesn't, we will face opposition. So we need a thick skin if we are going to do what God calls us to do. But we also need a loving heart toward people. Love moved Jesus to do what He did for us, and it is love for people that will move us to live out our purpose. This rare combination of a thick skin and tender heart was seen in the life of the Apostle Paul. As we look at this letter he wrote, from prison, to the people of Philippi, we can see his loving heart as he prays with joy because of these people who came to know and love Jesus. May God also make our skin thick and our hearts tender!Support the show

Letting God Be Lord Over Your Finances, which Are His but He Entrusted to You, Will Liberate Your Life! MESSAGE SUMMARY: We are so focused on earning money and other financially driven life activities so that it is easy for money and finances to become our god. Making finances “our god” violates the Second Commandment. If Jesus is Lord over all Creation, as we are told in Psalms 24:1, then: “The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.”; therefore, everything that has been entrusted to you is God's. In James 5:1-3, the author of the Book of James provides insight into someone who does NOT make God the Lord of their finances: “Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.”. Therefore, let God Be Lord over your finances, which really are His finances. TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

Send us a textWhat's that one thing you're keeping back from God? That area you carefully protect, that habit you justify, that comfort you return to when life gets difficult? Today's powerful reflection on Psalm 139:23-24 tackles the courage required to pray, "Search me thoroughly, O God, and know my heart."There's a transformative truth at work in our spiritual lives: whatever we withhold from God inevitably becomes a mess, while whatever we surrender becomes blessed. King David exemplifies this principle perfectly. Despite his spectacular moral failures—adultery with Bathsheba and arranging her husband's murder—David's willingness to return to God with complete transparency is why he remained "a man after God's own heart." His example challenges us to examine what we might be holding back.In a deeply personal moment, I share my own battle with pornography, a struggle that persisted even after my spiritual transformation and marriage. Like many, I created exceptions and justifications, using this sin as a crutch when facing life's difficulties. Freedom only came when I finally exposed it fully to God's light, rediscovered my identity in Christ, and claimed the spiritual authority available to every believer. Your struggle may be different, but the pathway to freedom remains the same: complete surrender. Whatever God reveals, He wants to heal. Will you let Him search your heart today? Your breakthrough might be just one prayer away.Support the show

Have you ever felt like you're carrying the weight of the world, trying to hold everything together? I know that feeling all too well. In this episode, I'm sharing from my own experience as a Catholic mom in midlife who struggles daily with the need to control everything—especially when life feels uncertain or overwhelming. Whether you're facing an empty nest, a struggling marriage, unanswered prayers, or unexpected change, I want you to know—you are not alone. Together, we'll explore what it really means to surrender our fears and let God step into the places we've tried to manage on our own. I also open up about how our parenting styles and control tendencies can reveal deeper wounds that need healing. I talk through common patterns—like helicopter or snowplow parenting—not to judge, but to help us understand the roots of our desire to protect and control. These patterns often trace back to our own unhealed stories. Through this conversation, I want to encourage you to look inward with compassion and to invite God into those tender places so He can bring healing and restoration. This episode is a personal invitation to breathe, release, and trust. I share how God has been challenging me to release my own expectations—even when His answers to my prayers have looked so different from what I hoped for. If you're wrestling with fear, regret, or trying to control the outcome of things in your life, this is your reminder that God sees the whole picture. Surrender isn't giving up—it's choosing to trust the One who loves you most. Join me as we walk this Lenten journey of healing together. Jennie Guinn is a Catholic speaker, Life Coach, Podcaster, and Weekly Radio Host on Nashville Catholic Radio and Radio Maria USA. She is the founder of Catholic Moms in the Middle, a ministry for women navigating the pain of betrayal, heartbreak, and the disappointments of midlife. After 26 years in Catholic education, Jennie followed God's call to serve women who feel lost, unseen, or overwhelmed by life's unexpected turns. Rooted in Scripture and the teachings of the Catholic Church, she helps women encounter the healing love of the Father, break free from shame and fear, and be restored by the power of the Holy Spirit—so they can MAGNIFY Christ in their daily lives.

"Letting God define the good doesn't disregard the tangible struggle or frustration we may feel. This mindset doesn't justify hurtful moments or actions that are not right. It's simply an invitation to submission and surrender. Just like God deemed what He made "good” at creation, we can let Him define what is good even now."Leave a comment for Jenny: https://incourage.me/?p=250441--You're just a few questions away from your 2025 Word of the Year.

In this episode of The Crosswalk Devotional, we explore the powerful truth that God’s peace is not just a feeling—it’s a ruling force that can govern our hearts and minds. As Christians, we are called to let God’s peace guard us, especially in times of anxiety, worry, and uncertainty. But how do we allow His peace to rule our hearts when life is filled with stress and chaos? Join the Conversation:We’d love to hear how God’s peace has ruled in your heart during difficult times. Share your stories with us on social media @Lifeaudionetwork or via email. How do you make room for God’s peace in your life? What Scriptures or practices help you to surrender your anxieties and trust in His peace? SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts:Your Daily Prayer: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Full Transcript Below: Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. 15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. Colossians 3:12-16 As someone prone to anxiety and who comes from a long line of worriers, I’m intrigued by the phrasing of verse 15. I find it interesting that Scripture doesn’t say, “gain” or “discover” the peace of Christ. Instead, it tells us to allow His peace to control, to reign over, and to direct our hearts, the seat of our emotions and intellect. This suggests, even in my angsty moments, that I possess His peace. Scripture affirms this. Shortly before His death, knowing all His disciples would soon witness and experience, Jesus said He gave them His peace, indicating that it came not from their circumstances but instead, from Him. We’re also told, in Galatians 5:22 that the fruit, product, or result of the Spirit’s work in us is, among other things, peace. When I combine these truths with the Bible’s directive to “let” God’s peace reign, I’m invited to consider ways in which I might be resisting this precious gift given me through my faith in Christ. Granted, I recognize there are numerous circumstances, from job loss to health challenges, that can cause us to worry and feel afraid. I don’t want to diminish that. Yet, God has also shown me, often during some of my most unsettling seasons, how much of my anxiety stemmed from the state of my heart. I can’t experience the peace of Christ while actively nursing a grudge, harboring bitterness, or strategizing how to get even with someone who wronged me. The more I ruminate on my offenses, the greater my angst. I “let” Christ’s peace rule as I follow the guidance recorded in today’s passage. Verse 1 tells me to focus on and prioritize those things of eternal value, which helps place today’s frustrations in proper perspective. Verses 5-10 tell me to “put to death” or turn from, sinful cravings and self-destructive behaviors. As I do, these “urges” lose their grip over me, making me less apt to hurt others and plunge into the pit of regret. Verse 12 reminds me of my secure standing as God’s child. Remembering that I’m His chosen and dearly loved daughter quiets the anxiety that leads to defensiveness. It also helps me rest in the knowledge that my Father has good planned for me and the power to bring His plans to pass. The more I receive His love and grace, the better I’m able to offer others, including those who have hurt me, these same transformative, healing gifts. Intersecting Life and Faith To summarize, based on the context surrounding Colossians 3:15, here are powerful ways we “let” the peace of Christ rule in our hearts: We intentionally and regularly focus on Christ, everything we have in Him, and all that awaits us in eternity. We don’t give in to or dwell on those things that pull our hearts from the thriving life for which we were created. We relate to others with honesty and integrity, living like the redeemed and empowered children of God we are. And we don’t hold on to and ruminate over past offenses. Imagine the freedom we’d experience if we prayerfully read through Colossians 3 each night before we went to bed, inviting God to search and cleanse us of everything that steals our peace. And then ended our prayers speaking to ourselves as Colossians 3:16 instructs us to talk to one another—with hymns, songs, and thanksgiving.
