What does it look like to make more room for Christ in our everyday lives? In today's episode, we journey with Lauren Alessi as she explores what it truly means to live a life of surrender. Building on yesterday’s conversation, we’ll reflect on the words of Jesus in Matthew 16:25 — uncovering how letting go of our need for control, our habits, and even our mindsets can open the door for deeper transformation and healing. Together, we’ll discover that surrender isn’t about becoming less, but inviting more of Christ to dwell within us.
Let’s join together as a community in prayer and devotion, trusting that as we lay things down, God will fill us with something far greater and eternal.
