What happens when you stop striving and start surrendering? In this powerful episode of The Christian Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon interviews Jess Munsterman, who shares her deeply personal journey of releasing control, embracing faith, and watching her real estate business grow as a result of surrender to God.
Jess opens up about the misalignment she felt between her faith and her business, and how prayer, obedience, and intentional action changed everything. Together, they unpack what it means to lead with integrity, live out your beliefs in business, and trust God with both the process and the outcome. Jess also introduces her course, “Surrender to Scale,”created to help Christian agents bridge the gap between faith and business while scaling with purpose.
Key Takeaways:
✅ Surrender to scale is not a tactic—it’s a lifestyle of faith and obedience.
✅ Misalignment between your faith and work creates inner conflict.
✅ Letting go of control and expectations opens the door to God’s provision.
✅ Prayer changed everything for Jess’s business and mindset.
✅ Obedience is active—surrender doesn’t mean sitting still.
✅ Your faith must be visible—people won’t know unless you live it out.
✅ Integrity means consistency—being the same person at work, home, and church.
✅ God brings the right people when you stop striving and start trusting.
✅ Excellence in business is a way to honor God and serve others well.
✅ Surrender isn’t weakness—it’s the key to peace, growth, and impact.
