Podcasts about surrender to god

From a small-town Louisiana teen torn between band life and a real call to holiness, he shares how grief, prayer, and music collided and redirected his life toward Jesus.What starts as a teenage encounter at a prayer meeting quickly becomes a story of surrender, heartbreak, and vocation. Josh opens up about the accident that took his friends life, the funeral-home moment that forced him to answer the question of who he would follow, and the decision that changed his songs from writing about girls to writing prayers.Josh also reflects on leading worship at World Youth Day, the National Eucharistic Congress, papal events, and his home parish while balancing family life and a public calling.This conversation is about more than music. It's about humility, mercy, and what happens when you seek the Lord first.Josh Blakesley is a Catholic musician and music director at St. Faustina Catholic Church in Fulshear, Texas.Learn more: https://joshblakesleymusic.com/Send us some love!Support the showThanks for Tuning in to Yes Catholic!We're so grateful you joined us for this episode.

Episode SummarySuccess is not found in a platform, a ministry title, or a number on a dashboard. In this episode, Bobby Bosler opens John 1 and Galatians 6 to show that Christ's simple call—Follow Me—defines a life of true success, whether it leads to a visible ministry or quiet faithfulness. Let go of the vision you have built for yourself and follow Jesus wherever He leads.Topics DiscussedChrist's call to follow Him in John 1Releasing self-defined success, platforms, and performance metricsThe Flourish Series playlist and the ongoing study through GalatiansFaithfulness in visible ministry and in the hidden placesKey TakeawaysThe greatest success is to follow Jesus wherever He leads.God's call may look different from the life we picture for ourselves.Faithful obedience matters more than recognition, scale, or results.

God's leading is rarely a matter of seeing the whole road at once. In this episode, Jennifer Teachout shares how the Lord used a childhood surrender, years of service in Quebec, and a long-held burden for French Guiana to teach her to keep walking with Him. As you obey Him in the small opportunities before you, trust God to lead you one step at a time. Topics Discussed Jennifer Teachout's salvation testimony and childhood surrender to missions Overcoming the fear of being ashamed of God's call God's leading through language study, marriage, and seventeen years of ministry in Quebec The Lord's long-term direction to French Guiana and ministry in Matoury The challenges of missionary life, motherhood, cultural differences, and personal inadequacy Serving God faithfully in small, often unseen opportunities Key Takeaways God often guides His children as they walk with Him in daily obedience. A call or burden from God may unfold over many years without being forgotten. Faithfulness in small acts of service forms a heart ready to follow God's direction. God's work does not depend on human adequacy; He supplies mercy and brings the fruit. Young women can trust God with their future one faithful step at a time.

Chapter 2 – Paul's First Sight of the CrossIn Chapter 2 of All Things New, Jessie Penn-Lewis turns to Paul's first sight of the cross and the life-changing revelation it brought. What once seemed weakness and shame became, in the light of Christ, the wisdom and power of God. This chapter shows how the cross not only reveals the love of Christ, but also brings an end to self-confidence, self-righteousness, and all that stands in the place of full surrender. It is a searching and hope-filled chapter that reminds us that when we truly see the cross, we begin to discover a life in Christ that is immeasurably more.All Things New book is available on Amazon.Theme music: “Relaxing Soft Piano Music” by Viacheslav Starostin, used with gratitude.We would like to pray for you.

What happens when God asks you to step outside your comfort zone?Adeline Johanna grew up Catholic, but for years her faith was largely centered around going to Mass and practicing familiar prayers. In high school, anxiety and fear of judgment became a major part of her life, but through Scripture and a growing trust in Jesus, her faith began to become deeply personal.After dropping out of university with no clear plan, Adeline began creating photography content online. But when she felt God calling her to use her platform to share the Catholic faith, she faced a new set of fears: What would people think? Was she qualified enough? Was her faith strong enough?Eventually, she chose obedience over fear.In this conversation, Adeline shares how God transformed her from a shy and anxious young woman into someone boldly proclaiming Christ online, why authentic Catholic community matters for young people, and what she has learned about trusting God's strength rather than relying on her own.If you've ever felt unqualified, afraid, or uncertain about what God is calling you to do, this episode is for you.You don't have to have everything figured out.

Londrelle breaks down what true freedom really means, why self-inquiry and journaling are essential tools for any man trying to heal, and how surrender to God is not weakness but the most powerful decision a man can make. He also opens up about heartbreak, promiscuity, and his near-death experience — that became the turning point in his journey back to himself.This is a must-watch for any Black man who feels disconnected from himself, stuck on autopilot, or searching for a deeper relationship with God — and for anyone ready to stop running from their healing and start returning home to who they really are.Tune in on all podcast streaming platforms, including YouTube.Leave a 5-star review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if you found value in this episode or a previous episode!BOOK US FOR SPEAKING + BRAND DEALS:————————————Explore our diverse collaboration opportunities as the leading and fastest-growing Black men's mental health platform on social media.

#199// There's a moment right before your breakthrough when everything in you wants to quit. If you're in it right now, do not believe what you're hearing.You know the voice. "I can't do this. It's too hard. This can't be God, because if it were, it wouldn't hurt like this." I said every one of those things during my own nervous breakdown this past February. So hear me in this: That voice in your head is not a sign you've failed. It's a sign your breakthrough is closer than it has ever been.In the last episode we talked about how God's holy demolition is the first step of full restoration. This week we're getting into what happens in the "pregnant pause" — the space between the clearing out and the rebuilding, where the enemy makes his hardest play for your life, and where your real breakthrough gets decided.In this week's episode -- it's the message I shared this past Sunday at REVIVE Church of Tampa -- I'm walking you through the surrender that carries you all the way through to the other side.Here's what we get into:→ THE LIES IN THE PAUSE. The exact coping mechanisms the enemy offers you in the space between demolition and restoration, and why hearing them means breakthrough is imminent→ OFFENSE IS THE BAIT. How offense took Peter out, why it's really just a fear that you won't be safe, and how the way you handle it decides whether you walk into true restoration or an unholy demolition that only leads to more loss→ SURRENDER, BUT NOT THE WAY YOU THINK. The mystery God revealed to me in my own suffering: you don't have to muster the willpower to surrender and stand. There's one decision underneath that one that makes all the rest possible→ WHAT GETHSEMANE REVEALS. The offense that came even for Jesus, the couplet of surrender He prayed, and the strengthening heaven sends the moment you stop striving→ HE'S PREPARING YOU TO REIGN. Why God built you to prosper through severe suffering, and what the wheat and the tares have to do with the pause you're standing in right now

Millions of people pray the Lord's Prayer every day without fully understanding the weight of the words: “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done.” In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that this prayer is a declaration of allegiance: “King Jesus, You rule supreme over my life.” The King and the Kingdom are inseparable. We cannot claim citizenship in God's Kingdom while refusing the reign of Christ over our hearts, priorities, decisions, and desires. To pray for God's Kingdom to come is to say, “King Jesus, take over.” Dr. Youssef warns that our prayers can easily become dominated by our own plans, needs, and agendas. God cares for His children and invites us to bring our needs to Him, but when those needs become the center of our lives, they can become idols. Soon, instead of praying for God's will to be done, we begin asking God to bless our own will. True surrender is not passive resignation—it is active faith in the goodness and sovereignty of God. As we lay every desire, ambition, and fear at Christ's feet, the Holy Spirit aligns our hearts with the Father's purposes and leads us in obedience. Only under the lordship of Jesus do we experience lasting peace, joy, and spiritual victory. Pray with me. Father God, forgive me for allowing my needs and wants to become the focus of my life. May Your priorities become my priority. Rule over my life so that I can sincerely pray, “Thy will be done.” I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

Episode Summary Same-sex attraction can become an intensely lonely battle, especially when shame and fear keep a struggling believer from seeking help. In this concluding episode of the Twisted Passions series, Ryan Swanson shares three listener testimonies that point to dependence on Christ, honest accountability, wise boundaries, and a willingness to let God use a redeemed story. The episode challenges both those seeking victory and those who want to help them: condemnation alone is not enough, pride must give way to humility, and God often provides the right people to help us walk faithfully. Topics Discussed Why Christians must do more than simply preach against homosexuality Biblical identity and the way sin twists desires and emotions Turning to Christ instead of trying to overcome temptation through willpower Confiding in mature, trustworthy believers and seeking accountability Breaking the lonely cycle of pride through humility Choosing wise boundaries instead of making provision for temptation The value of godly mentorship, biblical masculinity, and biblical femininity Moving from fear and shame to a willingness to share Christ's work Using personal testimony to help others pursue victory A forthcoming series on less-discussed biblical passages about purity Key Takeaways Jesus understands temptation and remains the believer's unfailing source of strength. God often uses mature mentors, faithful friends, and accountability partners to help us walk in victory. Humility opens the door to help, while pride keeps spiritual battles hidden and isolated. Wise relationships and prudent boundaries both have a place in resisting temptation. A testimony should magnify what Christ has done rather than keep us imprisoned by shame. Victory is bigger than personal relief; God can use a surrendered life to strengthen others in the same fight.

What does it look like to follow Jesus in the everyday tension of motherhood, marriage, leadership, and personal healing? In episode four of our Summer Recap Series, Shelley Giglio is joined by author, Bible teacher, and podcaster Jackie Hill Perry for a raw and wisdom filled conversation about humility, trust, and the hidden work of sanctification. Jackie shares candidly about parenting four children while staying rooted in her calling, building a marriage grounded in friendship with her husband Preston, and learning to trust God in places of deep personal hurt and uncertainty. Together, they unpack what it means to live as disciples who choose obedience over ego, faith over fear, and gratitude over envy. This episode will encourage you to see God differently in your suffering, to embrace the narrow road of discipleship, and to trust that He is faithful in every step of your story.

In this message, Samuel Goulet teaches on the spiritual reality that everyone lives under a “yoke”—a guiding force that shapes our pace, direction, and responses—and invites listeners to recognize whether they are being driven by fear, striving, shame, legalism, anger, or the freedom of Jesus. He contrasts the crushing yokes of the world with Christ's easy and light yoke, emphasizing that true freedom comes through surrender, the work of the Holy Spirit, and learning to walk in step with Jesus. This episode encourages believers to cry out to God, receive His forgiveness, reject old patterns of bondage, and live from the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, and freedom.

Where is God when life doesn't make sense? Psalm 115 says that the better question is: who is God? If we shift the focus from our circumstances to his unchanging love and faithfulness, then trusting him makes more sense. Listen now as we talk about what makes God so amazing, and how that can move us to trust and action.

In this episode of the GoMission podcast, Mark Gillmore talks with Pastor Ty Thebeau in Edson, Alberta, about God's long work of calling, breaking, and redirecting him for gospel ministry. Ty shares how God first stirred his heart about returning to his hometown while he was serving as a missionary in Cameroon, and how years of difficulty and brokenness eventually brought him back to Canada with a deeper understanding that his identity is found in Jesus Christ alone. Throughout the conversation, Ty speaks honestly about suffering, fear, spiritual warfare, and the danger of finding identity in ministry rather than in Christ. His testimony challenges young people preparing to serve the Lord to expect their faith to be tested, to face their fears with surrender, and to trust that God uses even the darkest trials to make His servants more dependent, more compassionate, and more usable in gospel mission. Topics Discussed Ty's call from Cameroon back to his hometown of Edson, Alberta How God uses suffering to strip away self-dependence The danger of finding identity in ministry, success, or calling Why young people should expect their faith to be tested Fear as a foothold of the enemy and the need to face it honestly Learning to surrender even the worst-case scenario to God The fellowship of Christ's sufferings in the life of a believer How brokenness can prepare a person to minister to other broken people The vision for gospel witness in Western Canada Living moment by moment in availability to Jesus Key Takeaways God's call is not accidental, even when the path seems broken or confusing. The Christian life is not built on ministry identity, personal strength, or visible success, but on Jesus Christ Himself. Faith is not proven in easy circumstances; it is tested and purified in difficulty. Fear must not be ignored. It must be brought into the light, surrendered to God, and answered with faith. Suffering is not wasted in the hands of God. He uses it to bring believers to the end of themselves so that Christ's life can flow through them. The goal is not to become strong in ourselves, but to become more fully dependent on Jesus. When everything else is stripped away, the believer still has Christ, and Christ is enough. A surrendered life does not need to know every step ahead. It simply wakes up each day asking, “Lord, what do you want to do?” If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

Send us Fan MailIn this fifth episode of our Loud Longings, Holy God series, we talk honestly about why surrender can feel so difficult, especially when we're letting go of the very things we've relied on for comfort. We begin with a breath prayer from Psalm 73—“You are the strength of my heart... and my portion forever”—and explore how stress, grief, and uncertainty can drive us toward emotional eating, control, perfectionism, busyness, scrolling, or other attempts to find quick relief. Together, we discuss why surrender often involves loss and why acknowledging that grief is an important part of the journey.Looking at Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, we see that surrender isn't about pretending everything is fine—it's about bringing our deepest struggles into relationship with the Father. We encourage listeners to choose connection with Jesus before reaching for immediate relief and share a simple practice to help pause and respond differently when urges arise. If surrender has ever felt overwhelming, we hope this conversation reminds you that you don't have to walk that path alone.If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show. Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

After The War came to Fellowship Baptist Church, Bobby reflects on the joy of watching God use the next generation, especially as his son David recruited teens, helped in the invitation, and personally led several young men to Christ. But the episode moves beyond one exciting week of outreach to a bigger challenge from the Great Commission: every Christian has a next mission. If you have received the gospel, your next step is to grow; and as you grow, God calls you to go help others grow too. Topics Discussed The return of The War under Austin Brownlee's leadership Watching God use young people in evangelism David Bosler recruiting teens and leading several to Christ The follow-up event after The War: “The Next Mission” Matthew 28 and the Great Commission The receiving side of the Great Commission: grow The sending side of the Great Commission: go Baptism as the first step after salvation Surrendering to God's next step in your life Helping others take their next step without pride or condescension Depending on Christ's presence and power to fulfill His mission Key Takeaways Every saved young person has a next step. The first step after salvation is believer's baptism. Christian growth does not stop with one decision; God wants obedience in all things. The Great Commission is not only something you receive, but something you obey. God calls growing Christians to help others grow. You do not have to feel fully prepared before God can use you. Christ's mission requires surrender, but it also comes with His enabling presence. God wants to use you to make a difference in someone else's life.

In Week 10 of our Welcomed. series, we follow Paul, Timothy, and their companions as they begin a new chapter of gospel mission. Along the way, we discover that the Christian life is not ultimately about maintaining control—it is about surrender.In Acts 16:1–15, Paul willingly lays down personal rights, adjusts carefully made plans, and refuses to take credit for the work that only God can do. Through Timothy's example, the Macedonian vision, and Lydia's conversion, we see that the welcome of Jesus calls us to trust God's purposes above our preferences and His wisdom above our own understanding.Whether it's our rights, our plans, or our desire for recognition, Jesus invites us into the freedom that comes from placing every part of our lives in His hands. As we surrender, we discover that God is the one directing the mission, opening hearts, and advancing His kingdom.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/

How do you respond to fear—do you withdraw, distract yourself, or try to regain control? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds believers that the right response to fear is neither surrender nor avoidance, but overcoming fear through faith and obedience to God's Word. Scripture paints the picture of a life anchored in trust: the one who puts confidence in the Lord is like a tree planted by water—steady in heat, resilient in drought, and fruitful no matter the season (Jeremiah 17:7–8). Dr. Youssef exposes one of fear's most common roots: the loss of control. Whether it's finances, relationships, health, or the future, we often try to fix fear by tightening our grip—only to discover that control never produces peace. But Jesus offers a different kind of security: “My peace I give you… Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” (John 14:27). And God promises a sure foundation for those who rely on Him—one that silences panic when everything else shakes (Isaiah 28:16). This devotional will help you trade anxiety for assurance by surrendering your circumstances to the God who is truly in control. Prayer: God, help me to respond to fear with faith in You and obedience to Your Word. Help me to remember that I can rest in You because You are in control. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety” (Psalm 4:8). Learn more in Dr. Michael A. Youssef's sermon series Freedom from Fear: LISTEN NOW The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission.

Have you ever felt exhausted from constantly thinking about how you're doing, how you're perceived, what you're accomplishing, or whether you're enough? If we're honest, most of us live there more often than we'd like to admit. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I sat down with author Morgan Krueger to talk about her new book, Made to Magnify: Choosing to Live for Jesus When Everything Tells You to Live for Yourself. Together, we explored a truth that feels both challenging and freeing: the more focused we become on ourselves, the more anxious, insecure, and unsatisfied we often feel. In a culture that constantly tells us to build our own platform, protect our image, and chase self-fulfillment, Morgan offers a refreshing invitation to lift our eyes and fix them on Jesus instead. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why self-focus often leads to anxiety, comparison, and striving• The three struggles that commonly keep us stuck: pride, fear, and doubt• How confession, community, and God's Word help us break free from isolation• Simple ways to magnify Jesus in everyday life• Why the small, unseen acts of faithfulness matter more than we realize• How Mary's words, "My soul magnifies the Lord," can become our daily prayer If you've been feeling weary from carrying the weight of proving yourself, performing for others, or trying to control every outcome, I believe this conversation will encourage your heart. Friend, you were never created to make your own name great. You were created to magnify His. And as you do, you'll discover the joy, peace, and purpose your heart has been longing for all along.

What does it look like to stay planted in Jesus when life feels uncertain, uncomfortable, or costly? In episode one of our Summer Recap Series, Shelley Giglio sits down with Grammy Award-winning songwriter, worship leader, and longtime friend Brooke Ligertwood to talk about anointing, obedience, creativity, and surrender. Together, they explore the weight and wonder of being entrusted with God's calling… and how true freedom is often found not in striving, but in faithfully staying with Jesus one day at a time. Brooke shares personal stories about discovering songwriting at a young age, stewarding creativity through both worship, and learning that the goal of her life isn't success or recognition, but simply to remain close to Jesus. Shelley and Brooke also reflect on the beauty of being “good trees” – rooted, nourished, and trusting God alone with the fruit their lives produce. This conversation is for anyone who feels stretched, misunderstood, weary, or unsure of what obedience looks like in this season. You'll walk away encouraged to stay planted, take heart, and trust God with the outcome! If you want more from Brooke, you can find her at @brookeligertwood on Instagram or www.brookeligertwood.com.

In this episode, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen challenges young people to pray for revival, not merely as something God did in the past, but as something He still desires to do today. Reflecting on the history of revival in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and the heart cry of Psalm 85:6, he reminds listeners that revival begins personally before it spreads corporately. True revival is not earned by human effort, but received through thirst, trust, humility, and dependence on the God who delights to revive His people. Topics Discussed The history of God's reviving work in places now spiritually forgotten The prayer of Psalm 85:6: “Wilt thou not revive us again?” Why young people should pray for revival in their school, youth group, church, and community The Welsh revival story and the reminder that “the revival is in here” The meaning of personal revival as Christ's abundant life in the believer Two essentials for personal revival: thirsting for God and trusting Him to work How revival produces rejoicing, truth, righteousness, and holiness from the inside out Why revival is not something we deserve, but a mercy God gives The importance of dealing honestly and biblically with sin A testimony of God moving in a Christian school camp and stirring a lifelong burden for revival The difference between simply “getting by” and living in the presence and power of God Key Takeaways Revival is not just a historical event to admire; it is a present need to pray for. Corporate revival begins with individual believers who are personally revived. A young person does not have to settle for dull, distracted, subnormal Christianity. Personal revival begins with a thirsty heart that wants God and a trusting heart that believes Him. Revival produces more than emotion; it produces truth, righteousness, holiness, and a passion for Christ. God's reviving work is an act of mercy, not something we earn or deserve. The presence of God changes everything. When God “steps in the room,” hearts are humbled, sins are confessed, burdens are born, and lives are changed. The right prayer is still, “Wilt thou not revive us again?” If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

In this GoMission episode, Mark Gillmore talks with Brother Fletcher about God's call on his life toward Bible translation, unreached people groups, and practical involvement in the Great Commission. Fletcher shares how God moved him from living for himself to surrendering to help reach the unreached, and how the Lord gave both direction and desire as he yielded to God's plan. The conversation also introduces Go Steps, a practical stream of ideas, testimonies, and encouragement designed to help young people take meaningful steps in missions right now. Whether through prayer, encouragement, adopting a people group, sharing testimonies, or simply refusing to get distracted from God's call, every young person can take a step forward in the Great Commission. Topics Discussed Fletcher's upbringing as a missionary kid Surrendering personal dreams to reach the unreached God's direction toward Bible translation and Southeast Asia How God gives joy and desire when we yield to His will The need for Bible translation among unreached people groups Serving churches during deputation instead of merely “getting support” Practical ways young people can be involved in missions now The purpose and launch of Go Steps Encouragement through WhatsApp testimonies and email updates Adopting an unreached people group for prayer Staying focused on God's calling instead of getting distracted Key Takeaways God's will is not a miserable backup plan. When a young person yields to the Lord, God can give joy, desire, and fulfillment in the very calling that once seemed intimidating. You do not have to wait until you are on a foreign field to be involved in the Great Commission. God has placed you in a mission field right now, with friends, family, church, and opportunities already in front of you. Many young people care about missions, but they do not always know what to do next. Go Steps exists to help turn burden into obedience by giving practical ideas and encouragement for taking the next step. Prayer is not a small part of missions. When you pray for unreached people, God can move in ways you may not fully see until eternity. Satan wants young people to get burdened about the lost and then get distracted by the rest of life. The answer is to keep remembering your calling, take the next step, and stay on mission with Jesus. Resources Ready to take the next step in the Great Commission?

In this episode, Bobby Bosler speaks honestly about a morning when he felt spiritually dry, empty, and numb even while preparing to preach and serve the Lord. Rather than pretending that surrendered Christians never experience seasons of silence, he reminds young people that even faithful believers can feel worn out, thirsty, and distant from God. Through prayer, worship, and Psalm 42, Bobby explains how the Lord began to turn that emptiness into spiritual refreshment. The episode encourages listeners not to panic when they feel dry, but to seek God, worship Him, and trust His promises even when the feelings do not immediately change. Topics Discussed Serving God while still feeling empty The danger of assuming spiritual people never experience dryness Why silence and numbness do not mean God has left you Depending on God's promises when feelings do not change The connection between spiritual thirst and Psalm 42 Worshiping God in the middle of dryness Seeking God honestly instead of hiding discouragement How God can use spiritual thirst to draw your heart back to Himself Key Takeaways You can be surrendered to God and still have moments where your soul feels dry. Spiritual numbness should not drive you to discouragement, but to deeper dependence on God. God's promises are still true even when your feelings do not immediately confirm them. The answer to spiritual thirst is not pretending, performing, or quitting; it is going to the Lord. Worship can turn your attention away from your emptiness and back to God's worthiness. Psalm 42 reminds us that thirsting for God is not unusual, but it must lead us to seek the living God. Don't stay in the silence. Seek His face, praise Him, and let Him meet the need of your soul.

What are you carrying that God never asked you to carry?In this closing message of the Name the Chain series, Pastor Chrissy Cole teaches on the chain of control and the fear underneath it. Control can sound like responsibility, protection, or wisdom, but it often reveals where we are struggling to trust God.Through Proverbs 3 and the example of Jesus, this message invites us to surrender our fears, release what we cannot control, seek God before we lead, and trust Him with the outcome. The burden was never meant to crush you. Jesus offers rest, freedom, and a lighter way to live.

What does it look like to live fully surrendered to God — not just once, but day after day, season after season? In this conversation, Shelley Giglio sits down with Priscilla Shirer – wife, mother, author, and speaker – to reflect on the powerful move of God they're seeing in this generation, especially through gatherings like Passion, where tens of thousands of young adults are showing up hungry for the Word of God, not just motivation. Priscilla shares how she has spoken identity-shaping declarations over her sons for years and how that same truth now calls a wider generation to live like who God says they are. They talk honestly about surrender: laying down comfort, preferences, and even good opportunities when God says “go” or “stay.” Priscilla tells the story of filming War Room and being willing to lay acting down to honor her marriage and family, and together she and Shelley unpack the danger of confusing ministry with platform in a social-media age. From five unseen years discipling a handful of college girls, to the story behind The Jesus Bible, to a powerful reminder that maybe we don't need more clarity but more courage, this episode invites us to see every ordinary moment as ministry and to trust that God is forming us — even when no one is watching.
