You and I are going to struggle with our humanity.  Surrender doesn't seem like a good idea to any of us. It feels like we are giving up and losing control, but when we surrender to God, we lose things we don't need to gain the things we really do.Main Points:1. Everything you need is on the other side of surrendering your life to God.2. Everything you need God can provide. Yet, often the provision doesn't come until we surrender to God. 3. God's plan is not about depriving us of good things. He delights to give His children good gifts. He also desires, above all else, for us to follow him and delight in him.  Sometimes God will make us sacrifice something we want to secure our hearts for the greatest good: Himself. Today's Scripture Verses:Matthew 26:39 - “Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, 'My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

When you hear the word 'surrender' what comes to mind? Most people associate surrender with losing… but what if surrendering is exactly what you need to do to experience miracles? In this episode, I share how Surrender is an ancient practice on the spiritual path, one that can lead to healing, abundance, and miracles. I also share my insight about Mother Mary's seven 'surrender mysteries' and how they correlate to the seven chakras for deep healing. How do you feel about letting go? Have you ever let go and experienced a miracle? PS – if you want to experience the 7 Part Healing Path of Surrender series that begins Nov 5th in the Magnify Your Miracles membership, click here to join. Key Learnings: 1) Surrender is the opposite of what we are taught to do. The idea of letting go seems counterintuitive in a culture that continues to push, push, push! But what if holding on and trying to force things to happen is blocking your manifestation? 2) Surrender is a natural part of the cycle of nature. Every Autumn the trees release their leaves, and the natural world prepares for Winter, letting go of every unnecessary thing in the process. Every night you enter the great surrender of sleep where deep healing happens. What if you did this consciously and not just during sleep? 3) The seven sorrows rosary corresponds to the seven chakras. It is also similar to the story of the descent of Innana who must discard something at each level as she descends to the underworld. We will follow this healing path of Mother Mary's, beginning at the crown chakra and the first surrender mystery, releasing any energy that is holding you back from experiencing a deeper connection with the Divine.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – America stands at a crossroads of strength and principle. Donald Trump's America First vision uses leverage, not surrender, to restore respect and fairness in trade and foreign policy. As threats grow abroad and division deepens at home, true peace and prosperity demand courage, conviction, and a return to God, family, and country...

In this episode, I'm sitting down with Debbie Simmons—also known as The Legacy Architect. Debbie shares her powerful story of loss, redemption, and building a life that truly impacts generations. From walking through unimaginable grief to founding Anchor Point, a thriving nonprofit that helps families grow and heal, Debbie opens up about what it means to trust God in the fog, lay down our “why,” and keep moving forward one small step at a time.  If you've ever asked God why, this conversation will help you shift your question to how do I thrive? and remind you that your deepest pain can become your greatest purpose. __________________________________________________________ Ready for more?

Pastor Matt Chavez shares how he inherited his dad's passionate temperament—both the cheering and the anger—and how James 4:1 exposed the inner war that can spill into parenting. He urges surrendering anger to Jesus and checking your heart before it harms those you love.

Crown of Surrender by Grant Mahoney

What does baptism say about our freedom in Christ? Like Israel crossing the Red Sea, baptism pictures our deliverance from sin's power. We now walk free, no longer slaves, but alive in Christ.In this four-part series on the command “Baptize My Disciples,” we are invited to see baptism not as a symbolic obligation, but as a profound declaration of our union with Christ. Rooted in the authority and love of the risen Savior, baptism marks the believer's identity in Him, testifying that we have died to sin and been raised in newness of life. Through teaching, testimony, and Scripture, we are reminded that this command is both deeply spiritual and practically essential—anchored in Christ's power, pointing always to His glory, and flowing from a life of discipleship. Join Nate and Gabe as they explore Christ's command to “Baptize My Disciples.”Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

What happens when surrender becomes sacred? When boundaries are not barriers—but bridges to deeper intimacy? Meet one of the most influential voices in modern kink culture. Janet Hardy is today's guest. She's the co-author of the revolutionary The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships & Other Adventures and Radical Ecstasy: SM Journeys to Transcendence … to name just two of her books. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience. Listeners of The Weekly Hot Spot podcast, sent in a lot of questions and inspired this intimate conversation.Topics include:The intersections of power, pain, love and liberation.Myths and fears about ethical non-monogamy in kink spaces.Details about the new Workbook for The Ethical Slut.When Janet shares about how real change begins with honest self-inquiry, not permission from others, all three women talk about claiming their own personal erotic power. What does it mean to really choose who you are in your relationships? And, what is beyond tolerating a relationship. Hint: it's not always easy or safe to open up to this view of love and pleasure.  Janet talks about building emotional resilience when having these vulnerable conversations.You'll hear Mistress Olivia's personal reflection on how Radical Ecstasy transformed her understanding of Dominance and submission — not as control, but as co-created surrender. “Pain is not the goal. Surrender is.” That one line shifted everything. Together, they explore how power exchange is one of the most intimate acts we're capable of — a dance where trust becomes tangible, and vulnerability becomes strength.We also tackle real listener questions:A trans woman shares her experience of feeling Dominant with male partners and submissive with female ones — is this a known dynamic? Janet offers thoughtful insight into gendered power dynamics and erotic archetypes.For the nervous beginner — especially the "vanilla wife" being asked to step into Dominance — what are the real fears women face? Spoiler: It's not about lack of interest. It's about responsibility, judgment, and the weight of expectation.And then… the eternal debate: Who's really in control — the Domme or the sub? Janet's answer may surprise you. (Hint: It's not a power struggle — it's a paradox.)Finally, for those walking the spiritual edge of kink, we explore how to distinguish emotional overwhelm from authentic spiritual surrender — because not every tear in a scene is transcendence. Some are signals. Learning the difference? That's where true mastery begins.This episode isn't just for kinksters. It's for anyone who's ever loved deeply, feared openly, or longed to be seen. It's about coming into power — not over others, but within yourself.Janet Hardy WebsiteThe Ethical SlutRadical EcstasyMistress Olivia's blog:  Experienced Mistressolivia@enchantrixempire.comMistress Erika's blog: Intelligent Phone Fantasyerika@enchantrixempire.comDISCORD: LDWOlivia and LDWErika

Both young women share how Christ became real to them in powerful and personal ways.The audio can't fully capture the emotion we felt in the room as Karina opened up about an experience that changed her life, one that ultimately drew her closer to the Lord and deepened her hunger for His Word. Then, Sebathany invites us into her spiritual rhythms, sharing the disciplines that help her nurture her relationship with Jesus day by day.Their honesty, wisdom, and love for God will both challenge and inspire you—reminding us that no matter our age, true faith is born in surrender and grows through intimacy with Christ.Please leave a comment or review for this episode to help us share this content with others!

India Fires Up PoJK | Leepa Valley | Pakistan in a 3-Front War Situation | Bangladesh Surrender

Thought to share? Send me a text...A snowy cabin, a tired heart, and a chapter that wouldn't let go—Colossians 3 turned a season of burnout into a turning point for Betsy. After a painful reorganization at church and the quiet ache of feeling “not enough,” a long-buried moment resurfaced: a warning phone call that planted a lie and fueled years of striving. What seemed like a four became a ten because an old arrow finally worked its way to the surface. That's where forgiveness stepped in—not as approval, but as release—and where Christ's peace began to rule.We share the honest process of naming hidden fears, pulling up the root of unforgiveness, and discovering how identity in Christ reframes every bruise. The passage's call to “put on” compassion, kindness, humility, and unoffendable patience becomes more than a list; it's the wardrobe of a heart that knows it is dearly loved. From that place, gratitude stops being a nicety and becomes strength. “Let the word of Christ dwell richly” shifts from theory to practice through simple rhythms: Scripture that takes up residence, a written list of truths that confronts lies, and Sabbath that protects the soul from endless proving.This journey didn't end in quitting; it sparked purpose. Sitting by the fire, Betsy recorded her first teaching to help students and busy listeners carry scripture into everyday life—seed of the podcast you're hearing now. If you're holding wounds that won't name themselves or living under a story that drains joy, this conversation offers a path: tell the truth, forgive generously, surrender to peace, and let love be the mark of maturity.

What if worship isn't about the songs we sing, but the lives we lay down? In “The Sound of Surrender,” Pastor Oscar takes us back to the very first place the Bible ever mentions worship — not a stage, not a crowd, but an altar. From Abraham's obedience in Genesis 22 to Paul's call in Romans 12:1–2, this message reveals that true worship begins with surrender, is proven in the fire, and costs us something. Through powerful teaching and vivid illustrations — from the story of Jim Elliot to the refining process of a Steinway piano — Pastor Oscar reminds us that real worship isn't measured by how loud we sing, but by how deeply we surrender.

Today's episode is going to feel like a deep breath you didn't know you needed. I want to talk about something we all struggle with, often silently, and yet it shapes the way we live, the choices we make, and the peace we feel within: letting go. 

Send us a textDelighted to share my chat with Astrid Madeleine Wyke, a legacy architect disguised as a mystic whose gift is helping leaders remember who they were before the world told them who to be.Astrid shares about a turning point in her life that led to the complete destruction and stripping away of all that she had built for 25 years, and how the sacred feminine revealed itself to her through deep surrender. She talks about returning to her ancestral lands, learning to live in alignment with the cycles of nature and light, following her intuition and body wisdom, and simply 'being in the beingness'. We also chat about the concept of success and how it becomes completely reshaped when viewed through the lens of the feminine, and much, much more. Enjoy! Astrid's podcast: The Madeleine Wyke Show Astrid on FB: https://www.facebook.com/astridmadeleinewyke/Support the showThank you for listening!

In this episode of the I Am That Woman podcast, Felicia discusses the powerful themes of fear, particularly the fear of failure versus the fear of God. She emphasizes that while fear can paralyze us, reverence for God can empower us to step boldly into our calling. Through biblical examples and personal anecdotes, Felicia encourages listeners to shift their focus from the fear of failure to a faith-driven approach, trusting in God's plan and purpose for their lives. The conversation culminates in a call to action, urging listeners to embrace their calling despite their fearsTakeawaysFear is one of the strongest forces that try to control our lives.The fear of failure is one of the enemy's favorite tools.Failure is not final; it is formation.You can't fear both failure and God at the same time.God specializes in using failure for His glory.Surrender control and trust God's provision.Speak faith over fear when doubt arises.Remember that God is always with you.Failure is a part of faith and growth.Choose to fear God over the opinions of others.

In this episode, I share the biggest epiphanies I had on my recent trip to San Diego — ones that completely shifted how I see abundance, intuition, and the way life flows when you stop trying to control it.We talk about what it really means to surrender to the abundance that life is already trying to give you — the relationships, the opportunities, the clarity, the ease. I open up about how intuition guided me through moments of uncertainty on this trip, and how letting go of “how” and “when” allowed everything to unfold in the most aligned, effortless way. If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things but something still feels out of sync, this episode will remind you that abundance isn't something you chase — it's something you allow.Tune in to reconnect with your intuitive flow, release control, and remember how good life gets when you let Source lead the way.Ready to build the foundation of intuitive mastery? Join our free Access Your Intuition: Workshop | Here Join our early bird waitlist for Intuition Level One | HereSpecial Thank You Gift for ReviewsWe're so grateful for your reviews — they help this message reach the people who need it.

I must become lesser. He must become greater. That's the essence of surrender.

Pastor Dustin Clegg continues with our study of the book of 1st John and as we look at 1 John 3:10-24 he gives us three questions to consider as we study the text:1) What is love as defined by Jesus?2) Why are we prone to hate others?3) Why must we guard against being surprised when we are hated by others?

⚔️ The King Who Defeated the Dutch – Raghu & Pushpa Palat on Raja Marthanda Varma and Travancore's Forgotten Legacy

To follow Jesus is to take on His character—not as a performance, but as a way of life. In Act 1: Follow the Leader, we talk about the kind of discipleship that transforms you from the inside out—where every scene of your life reflects the One you're walking with. This study challenges us to leave behind what's familiar and embrace the role we were born to play. Here's a link to the notes from the study: Study Notes

Simran is magical. It's as if I've waited my whole life to meet her… again? She's an author, artist, publisher, mystic, host of 11:11 talk radio,  founder of 11:11 magazine and creating content that bridges humanity and divinity sharing her transformative journey from material success to spiritual awakening triggered by repeatedly seeing the number 11:11.  We began our recording with construction in the background- given our fancy microphones didn't pick it up, we decided to embrace the disruption as symbolic and potentially useful for their discussion.  We discussed how to respond rather than react to life's challenges. Simran shared her personal journey of transformation that began with repeatedly seeing the number 11:11, which led her to a spiritual awakening after living an outwardly successful but inwardly empty life. She described her 10-year journey of surrendering to darkness and embracing her shadow self, during which she cried daily for months after never having cried before age 40. Simran explained her discovery of three aspects of self—identity, shadow/animal, and humanity—and how embracing her full humanity became the doorway to divinity and wholeness. Simran vulnerably shared her experience of financial hardship during a 10-year period where, despite accumulating debt and having no income, she was always taken care of through unexpected opportunities like selling her house. She describes this as a practice of embodied faith, where she allowed herself to fully feel her emotions while simultaneously witnessing them from a place of divine masculine awareness. She explained that by deeply loving herself and trusting in something bigger than herself, she was able to navigate seemingly impossible situations, such as managing three properties while being financially strained, through creative solutions that manifested elegantly when needed. She walks her talk, explaining that mastery is not about having a perfect life, but about maintaining emotional balance through all experiences, emphasizing that everyone is building the muscles to become masters. When I asked about helping people deal with the chaos of current world events, Simran suggested that challenges don't take us down but rather create a detour, opportunities to reframe obstacles, challenges, and even darkness as blessings in disguise that help deconstruct the layers we build in our seven-year developmental cycles, brilliantly using the example of the jackhammers installing new drains outside her home, as a metaphor for how we're collectively backed up with emotions that need release. Simran discussed the importance of looking inward when encountering external conflicts, suggesting that what we see outside is a reflection of what's inside us. She shares her personal journey of confronting narcissism by finding and loving the corresponding parts within herself, including her "inner demon" and self-hate. Simran explained that uncomfortable feelings and experiences are created by neglected parts of ourselves seeking attention, and the value of fully feeling emotions without an agenda to heal or fix them.  Simran and I have incredibly difficult custody battles in common. She shared her difficult journey of motherhood, including a complete separation from one child and limited contact with her 4-year-old son due to circumstances in South Carolina. After years of grief, she realized her tears were not only her own but also those of her ancestors and the collective suffering of others. She eventually sold her home and moved across from her son's high school to be near him energetically, even without regular contact, which has provided her with a sense of connection. Simran shared her philosophy of trusting life's intelligence and embracing simplicity as the first grace we must give ourselves. She explained that freedom comes from releasing attachments and viewing life as a spiritual soul experience rather than an ego-driven one.  Just when we thought the jackhammers were the only sign from the Universe, our conversation was then interrupted by a power shutdown! You can't make this sh&^ up! We both interpreted this as a meaningful sign to unplug, reset, and listen to one's soul rather than acting on impulse. We discussed the importance of recognizing which part of oneself is driving actions and being open to the guidance that comes through everyday disruptions like burst pipes or lost jobs. We concluded our deep conversation, discussing how challenges like divorce can be gifts and opportunities for rebirth. On After The Show on Patreon, we had a blast dancing and pondering love. Simran defined "epiphagasms" as profound spiritual insights and describes orgasmicness as when "I disappear into you, and you disappear into me,” As two single women, we discussed our perspectives on divine love versus human love. Simran expressed that she knows divine love well but questions the value of human love after experiencing an arranged marriage for 20 years, while I suggested that relationships can offer growth through liberating love beyond self-interest. We both acknowledged being in a place of feeling complete on our own but remain curious about what a relationship with someone at their level of spiritual development might offer.

When you buy something, it's a simple transaction—money goes out, and something tangible comes back in. But giving is different. Scripture tells us that when we give, we also receive—but not always in the way we expect. The return God promises isn't measured in bank balances or possessions. It's measured in freedom, joy, and purpose.Many people hear the phrase “give to receive” and imagine a divine transaction: give to God or others, and blessings—perhaps even financial—will return. But biblically, generosity is never a get-rich scheme. It's an invitation to live the kind of life God designed for us—a life marked by open hands and open hearts.God's Kingdom Is Not a Vending MachineSome interpret verses like Luke 6:38 (“Give, and it will be given to you”) as a spiritual formula: “If I give, God owes me something.” But this is a distortion of Jesus' teaching. God isn't running a cosmic vending machine where our dollars purchase His favor.Instead, He invites us to live differently—to find life not in what we keep but in what we release. If money itself were the ultimate reward, God would be reinforcing the very idol He seeks to break in our hearts. Jesus reminds us in Luke 12:15, “One's life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” That truth echoes through every page of Scripture: generosity is not about loss—it's about liberation.What We Actually Receive When We GiveSo, if giving isn't transactional, what does Scripture say we receive in return? The Bible highlights three beautiful gifts that generosity brings.1. We Receive FreedomMoney has a unique power to capture our hearts. Jesus warned, “You cannot serve God and money” (Matthew 6:24). Every act of generosity is a declaration of allegiance: we are not owned by our wealth. Giving loosens money's grip and frees us to serve a greater Master.2. We Receive JoyIn Acts 20:35, Paul quotes Jesus saying, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” True joy doesn't come from what we accumulate—it comes from participating in God's generosity. John Bunyan put it this way: “You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.”3. We Receive PurposeWhen we give, we join God's mission in the world. Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 9:11, “You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way.” The goal isn't self-enrichment—it's being a conduit of blessing. Generosity connects our story to God's story, reminding us that every resource we have is meant to reflect His generous heart.Giving Flows from GraceIf we're honest, our motives for giving can become mixed. We might give to feel good, earn approval, or to gain favor with God. But the gospel frees us from all of that. Ephesians 2:8–10 makes it clear: we're saved by grace, not by works. Our generosity is not a means of earning God's love—it's a response to already having it.Once we understand that truth, giving transforms from obligation into worship. We don't give to get something back. We give because we've already received everything in Christ.At the center of our faith stands Jesus—the One who gave everything. Paul captures it beautifully in 2 Corinthians 8:9:“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you by His poverty might become rich.”Jesus didn't give to gain something for Himself. He gave because of love. Through His sacrifice, we received reconciliation with God and eternal life in His Kingdom—riches far beyond material wealth.When our giving mirrors His, our motivation becomes love, not return. And in that kind of giving, we experience the true riches of life in Christ.Living With Open HandsEven when generosity brings blessing, the return is never shallow or predictable. We don't give to multiply our possessions—we give to multiply love, freedom, and trust.Every act of giving draws us deeper into God's life—freeing us from greed, filling us with joy, anchoring us in purpose, and reminding us that He is our ultimate treasure.The world says, “Give so you can get.” The gospel says, “Give because you've already been given everything.”When we live with open hands, we discover that the richest life is the one fully surrendered to God.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My wife had student loans before we got married, and the balance has now grown to about $65,000. I didn't realize how much debt she had until recently, and it's been hard to manage on our income—especially since her payments are currently set to $0 through an income-based repayment plan. How should we approach this situation, and what can we do to manage or reduce this debt given our financial limitations?I've been giving to my church using funds from my Required Minimum Distribution, even though I'm still working. Someone recently asked why I'm taking RMDs if I'm not yet required to. Do I have to take RMDs from my retirement plan while I'm still employed, or do the rules only apply to my IRA?I have both a Roth IRA and a brokerage account that I'd like to transfer to a new investment firm. The accounts have been open for more than five years. If I move my Roth IRA, does that five-year clock restart, or does the time I've already had it stay intact?I recently received an inheritance of about $200,000 after my father's passing. My mortgage balance is around $175,000. I don't have any other debt, but I do have five kids at different stages of life, including some in college, and I haven't saved much for retirement. Should I use the inheritance to pay off the mortgage and invest the remaining amount, or keep the mortgage and invest the entire amount for the future? What's the best move for my family right now?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Jīva Goswāmī says that this verse, "Sarva-dharmān parityajya," is the solace of all devotees, and they think about it again and again: "How Kṛṣṇa, by speaking this verse to Arjuna, saved the whole world!" If you ever fear, feel left out, frustrated, abused, confused, or angry with your lot in life, consider this verse. And consider Draupadi putting our hands high in the air and saying, "He Govinda!" This is the sum and substance of the teachings of the Bhagavad Gītā: "To seriously consider surrendering completely to Kṛṣṇa". We may feel, as Prabhupāda mentioned in the purport, "How might I do this?" But he says, "Such a consideration is useless. Just do it." And if you can't do it, as my mom used to tell me, "Why don't you sit there and think about it?" It's an amazing experience if you think about this verse. If you sit down to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, and then you think, "Sarva-dharmān parityajya. Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. I'm helpless. He's offering to handle all my affairs. What if I really did surrender? What if I just let go of every conception of helping myself? And I simply thought, Kṛṣṇa, I leave it all to you. I'm sold out 100% to you, and I'll just live my life like that from now on." If you just think about it, you'll feel exhilarated. You might not even do it in that very second, but thinking about it and doing it is almost exactly the same thing.Therefore, Kṛṣṇa saved us. He saved the whole world just by speaking this verse. And if you can put it in a locket around your neck—if you can imprint it on your consciousness and breathe it at every moment and think, "My only solace in life is Kṛṣṇa speaking this verse and offering me an opportunity to accept Him wholly and solely as my maintainer, protector, and the soul of my soul"—that's where real happiness will come from.

Parenting a son without an active father in his life can feel overwhelming, isolating, and heavy — but it is not a journey a mother is meant to walk alone. This episode offers biblical encouragement and practical guidance for single and widowed moms navigating the unique challenges of raising boys on their own. Through honest reflection and actionable wisdom, it explores how to release the pressure of doing everything yourself, trust God's faithful presence, and intentionally build a circle of support that will shape your son's future. Loosening your grip is not letting go — it is entrusting your son to the One who loves him most and will be faithful to complete the work He has begun.Invite others in. Look for godly men, mentors, and couples already in your life and intentionally welcome them to speak into your son's story.Create rhythms of faith. Lead your home spiritually with regular conversations about God's character, daily prayer, and simple mother-son devotionals.Surrender what you can't control. Write down fears, plans, or expectations that weigh on you and commit them to God in prayer.Speak life over your son. Remind him often that he is loved and encourage him to watch for God's activity in his life.Other Resources:The Importance of Mentors and How to AskThe Value of a Mentor Podcast Episode 49 with Guests Evan Apon and Dave InabnitThe Investment of a Mentor Podcast Episode 52 with Guests Brandon Apon and Eric HelmsScripture Encouragement“For with God nothing will be impossible.” — Luke 1:37 “A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy habitation.” — Psalm 68:5The absence of a father changes your family's story, but it does not define its future.
