Let Go! Surrender Control and Watch your Relationships Grow | Ep. 38

Juggling Life, Finding Balance Podcast with Vivian Cumins

How do you find freedom when you're trapped in a self-made prison of control? Author Rachel Jobe shares her journey from perfectionism to peace through surrendering control to God. Vivian and Rachel discuss the difference between doing and being, drawing wisdom from Jesus's teaching about the vine and branches. Reflecting on their parallel experiences with illness and burnout, they reveal how God lovingly strips away our need to manage everything, replacing anxiety with trust, which ultimately brings us closer to God and strengthens our relationship with Him and others. Rachel, who serves in Asia Pacific with her family, offers practical insights from her book "Let Go" about embracing God's gentle leadership over our drive to control outcomes.
