Have you ever been told you need to “surrender” to become more useful to God? To some of us, “surrender” almost sounds like we’re criminals or in an opposing army, right?

It’s time to challenge this made-up jargon and see it for what it is – unhealthy and sometimes even abusive. The New Testament never mentions surrendering to God. Instead, we simply present ourselves and our bodies to Him. Yes, We’re on the same team!

Plus, God isn’t tearing you down to make you more useful; He’s building you up in Christ! You’re His child, and you don’t need to be “crushed” or be more “sold out” to express Jesus.

Check out this episode and discover the healthy place you can enjoy in God’s family and what it means to be secure and complete in Christ!
