✨ “I am free in Christ. I release fear, control, and anxiety, and I rest in the truth that God is in control and I am held by His peace.”

📖 Key Verse:
Jeremiah 17:7–8 (CSB) –
“The person who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence indeed is the Lord, is blessed. He will be like a tree planted by water… its foliage remains green, and it will not worry in a year of drought or cease producing fruit.”
⸻
In today’s episode, we talk about:
💡 Why control is a fear-based response disguised as strength
💡 How letting go invites deeper peace—not passivity
💡 What happens when we stop clinging and start trusting
💡 Why the Proverbs 31 woman is fearless not because life is perfect, but because she’s rooted in truth
Control feels like protection—but it’s actually pressure.
We think if we can just do enough, plan enough, be enough… we’ll be safe. But real safety doesn’t come from control—it comes from trust. Letting go isn’t giving up; it’s putting the weight into stronger hands.
You were never called to be the glue holding everything together.
You were called to be rooted—unshaken by drought, anchored in peace, and fruitful in every season.
⸻
📖 Verses to Highlight:
Matthew 6:27 – Control doesn’t extend your life; it exhausts it.
Exodus 14:14 – Stillness is a weapon of trust.
1 Samuel 12:16 – God moves when we surrender.
🎵 Song: “Open Hands” by Laura Story
A beautiful reminder that peace begins where control ends.
⸻
🧠 Final Thought:
You don’t need a tighter grip—you need deeper roots.
You are becoming her: a woman whose peace flows from trust, not control.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
