What does it really mean to surrender your life to God? Many believers want Jesus in a room of their house, but not ownership of the whole house. In this episode, we explore the difference between partial surrender and complete surrender. Through Scripture, a powerful illustration of signing over the deed, and the example of Jesus in Gethsemane, we’ll discover why God’s plan is always better than our own and how true freedom begins when we give Him everything.

 In this episode, we explore one of the most powerful illustrations Jesus ever gave: the wise builder and the foolish builder. We’ll talk about why foundations matter, how storms reveal what we’ve truly built our lives upon, and why Christ remains the only foundation that cannot fail.

Truth is only transformational when it's recognized and responded to.
