    Episode 7: Releasing Control & Trusting God

    Have you ever felt like you needed to control every outcome in your life? Like if you could just plan enough, prepare enough, or push hard enough, things would finally go your way? In this episode of Faith and Fire, we’re tackling the illusion of control and how our desperate grip on life’s outcomes can actually steal our peace, block our blessings, and create distance between us and God. We’ll explore:     •    Why control is an illusion and how it blinds us to God’s plan.     •    The cons of control—how it steals joy, damages relationships, and leads to frustration.     •    The power of faith over control and how to release our plans to God.     •    Biblical wisdom on surrendering and trusting His will, even when the answer is “no.” If you’ve been struggling to let go and let God, this episode is for you. Tune in, take a deep breath, and step into the freedom that comes with surrender.

If you’ve ever struggled to trust God in the waiting or wondered how to hold onto faith during hard times, this episode is for you. Tune in for encouragement, scripture, and a reminder that sometimes, all it takes is the faith to reach out and touch the hem of His garment.
