Shannon Popkin | Surrendering Our Need to Control Grace Enough Podcast

    • Christianity

Shannon Popkin on unhealthy control, and how it can impact our walk with Jesus and with others. Shannon shares practical ways to relinquish control in order to live a surrendered life to God.
Questions Discussed During Surrendering Your Need to Control:

Talk to us about control. I know I struggle with wanting control and I did not realize it until I became a mother. I think that is a part of your story, so share with us when you began to realize the struggle to control was an issue for you?

Not all control is “bad”. We know God is in control and a fruit of the Spirit is self-control, so what is the difference between unhealthy control and necessary control?

How does being a control girl impact our walk with Jesus?

You write about 7 women in the Bible and how they struggled with control. Share one of those with us and what we learn about control from her story?

What are some ways we can practice relinquishing control?
