Too often we think we know better than the Holy Spirit. We run ahead, make our own plans, and try to lead ourselves instead of being led by God.


But Jesus showed us a different way.


Although He was fully God, Jesus humbled Himself, became man, and walked in complete dependence on the Father through the power of the Holy Spirit. If Jesus walked surrendered, prayerful, and Spirit-led, then why do we struggle to do the same?


This episode is a reminder to slow down, trust God, and stop living ahead of His presence. The Holy Spirit is not just with us for power — He is our guide, helper, teacher, and comforter.

In this episode, I sat down with my friend Alexa for a real and honest conversation at a time when I wasn’t feeling my best emotionally. I’m really grateful to have a community where conversations like this can exist—open, reflective, and grounded in growth.
We talk about the experience of shame from different angles: the ways we may have unintentionally caused it in others, and the ways it has been placed on us. This discussion is inspired by insights from the book The Soul of Shame by Curt Thompson, which explores how shame shapes our stories, our relationships, and our sense of self.
This isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about creating space for awareness, accountability, and healing. If you’ve ever wrestled with feelings of shame or wondered how it shows up in your life, this conversation might resonate with you.

Honesty guys… I haven’t recorded in almost two weeks because I’ve been trying to navigate a really tough season. Life has a way of bringing unexpected moments of grief, pain, and heaviness, and we all process those seasons differently. Some days it feels easy to keep moving, and other days it feels hard to even show up. But one thing I’m learning is that even in the middle of grief, the Lord is still present. He meets us in our weakness, comforts us in our pain, and gives us strength when we feel like we have none left.

My friend Alexa came to support me while I recorded this episode, and I’m so grateful for her because if I’m being honest, I truly did not want to record today. Sometimes having people around you who encourage you and remind you to keep going is such a gift. Their presence can be one of the ways God shows His love and faithfulness in difficult seasons.

On today’s episode, we’re talking about Matthew 28:19 and the Great Commission. Even in seasons where life feels heavy, God still calls us to go, make disciples, and share His truth with the world. We’ll dive into what it means to carry out this calling, how obedience looks in everyday life, and why the mission of Jesus still matters so deeply today. If you’ve been feeling weary, discouraged, or unsure of your purpose, I pray this episode reminds you that God can still use you even in the middle of hard seasons.

Today we are taking about something that often gets avoided…forgiveness. Not the surface-level kind, but the kind that challenges your heart, your pride, and your willingness to truly forgive from the heart. Forgiveness isn’t optional. The same mercy we ask God for is the mercy we’re called to give. And in Matthew 18, through the parable of the unforgiving servant, we see what happens when we receive grace but refuse to extend it.

In this episode, we’re getting real about:
– How pride, hurt, and offense block your healing
– What it actually means to forgive from the heart
– And how remembering what God has forgiven you of changes everything

This isn’t about excusing what happened to you but it’s about freeing yourself from what’s been holding you hostage.
Let’s surrender our right to hold onto hurt and step into the freedom that comes with forgiveness. #christianpodcast

In today’s episode, we’re diving into Matthew 9:35–38 — the moment when Jesus looks at the crowds and is moved with compassion, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He says something that still confronts us today: “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.”  We talk about what it really means to see people the way Jesus sees them. Before there was a command to go, there was compassion. There was a heart that broke for the lost. Are we moved? Or are we just busy? Are we praying for revival but unwilling to be the answer to the prayer?

This episode challenges us to examine:

•Why the harvest is ready but laborers are scarce

•The difference between admiration of Jesus and obedience to Jesus

•How comfort, distraction, and fear keep us from the fields

•What it means to pray for workers — and become one

Jesus didn’t say the harvest might be plentiful. He said it is. The question isn’t whether there’s work to be done — it’s whether we’re willing to surrender and pray. If this episode convicts you, stretches you, or encourages you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that we are called — not just to sit, but to go.

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the greatest deceptions of our time  whichnthe belief that we can save ourselves. Starting in John 3:14–19, we unpack what Jesus meant when He said the Son of Man must be lifted up, just as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness. Salvation has never been about works. It has always been about looking in faith to the One who was lifted up. “For God so loved the world…” — but that love does not remove the truth: whoever does not believe is condemned already. We must believe but also be intentional with our lives.

We dive into:

•Why salvation is found in Christ alone

•The danger of thinking good works can save you

•The difference between religion and true faith

•What it truly means to believe in Him

This episode is a call to stop striving and start surrendering.

Not religion. Not performance. Not self-righteousness. But Christ alone saves. If this blessed you, share it with someone who needs to hear the truth.

I am your host, Carol Faye. In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the most intimate and powerful moments in Scripture Exodus 33, where Moses boldly tells the Lord, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.” Moses wasn’t satisfied with the promise. He wasn’t satisfied with the land. He wasn’t even satisfied with blessing. He wanted God Himself. We talk about what it truly means to desire the nearness of the Lord not just the blessing , but Himself. Not just what He can do for us, but who He is. Moses didn’t just ask for direction; he asked, “Teach me Your ways, that I may know You.” That kind of hunger is rare — and it challenges the way we pray today. I also touch on Ephesians 3, where Paul prays that we would be strengthened in our inner being, that Christ would dwell in our hearts through faith, and that we would know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge. This episode is about going deeper beyond surface-level Christianity into real intimacy with God.

Are we truly longing for His presence?
Do we want to know His ways?
This conversation is about shifting from performance to presence, from striving to surrender, and from seeking blessings to seeking Him.

If this episode blesses you, share it with someone who desires to go deeper in their walk with Christ. And as always, thank you for being part of this community. Let’s surrender fully and draw near to the One who first drew near to us. 🤍

Often people seek Justice in a way that does not honor the Lord.  Using the story of the woman caught in adultery , we explore how Jesus redefined justice through mercy, truth, and restoration. While the world says “stone her,” Jesus says, “Neither do I condemn you go and sin no more.” This episode challenges us to look inward:

Are we seeking God’s justice, or are we building our own version of it? Are we pursuing truth with love, or fighting for outcomes that make us feel righteous and right? Examine your heart. Because justice without Jesus isn’t justice it’s self-righteousness dressed up as truth.

We’re talking about the other one. The one who stayed. The one who obeyed. The one who worked. And yet, the one whose heart was still far from the Father and didn’t understand the father’s heart. So often when we hear this story, our focus is on the son who ran away the one who wasted everything and came crawling back. But Jesus didn’t stop there. He told this story to the Pharisees and the scribes the religious, the faithful, the ones who thought they were already right with God. The older son represents the heart that does everything right on the outside but quietly resents the Father on the inside. In this episode, we’re going to talk about the danger of self-righteousness that subtle pride that convinces us we’ve earned something from God. The spirit that says, “I’ve been faithful, I’ve been obedient, I’ve done everything right… so why do they get grace?” It’s the same heart Jesus confronted in Luke 18:9–14, when the Pharisee stood praying to himself, thanking God that he wasn’t like other people. It’s the same pride He exposed in Matthew 21:31–32, where religious men rejected repentance while sinners ran toward it. Jesus told these stories not to shame the rebellious, but to humble the religious. Because in God’s eyes, both sons were lost  one outside the house, and one inside it. And sometimes, the ones who look the most faithful are the ones who understand grace the least. We’ll unpack what it means to serve God without surrender, to obey without intimacy, and to work for the Father while missing His heart completely.

In a world that constantly pushes us to be seen, recognized, and celebrated, it’s easy to forget that being known by God is enough.

Today’s episode is all about what it means to pursue a Christ-centered life. As I look around especially on social mediaI see so much division and hostility. Many people in todays culture are being led by their fellings and validate things that truly do not honor the Lord, validate lies, and sin.  We live in a culture that is quick to take sides and quick to cancel. The message often sounds like: “If you don’t agree with me, you’re wrong.” Or, “If our views aren’t the same, I’ll unfollow you.”Even among people who call themselves Christians, the posts and opinions I see being shared often contradict the very Word of God. And that’s dangerous, because when our opinions become louder than Scripture, we’re no longer being led by truth we’re being led by culture and flesh. I truly believe that it is possible to love the things of the world more than we love God. And those “things” can look like money, success, fame, sexuality, abortion, marriage, politics.. You name it. Anything can take the place of God if we let it. But here’s the hope: when we truly seek the Lord first and keep Him at the very center of our lives, it changes everything. It changes the way we speak, the way we respond, and the way we treat people, even when we disagree. Our lives begin to reflect Christ, not the culture around us and the things happening around us.

A couple of weeks ago, I picked up an Apologetics Bible and a book called The Holiness of God by R.C. Sproul. From these resources, I’ve selected a few passages to help guide our conversation on the power and purpose of prayer. As believers, we’re called to be people of prayer not for the approval of others, but to glorify and exalt God. Prayer isn’t just something we do; it’s something we become. It’s our way of connecting with the Father, of communicating with Him, and of allowing Him to purify and transform us. Prayer humbles us, shifts our hearts, and keeps us aligned with His will. In the Christian life, prayer is not optional it’s a command. Jesus Himself said, “Whenever you pray, pray like this…” Prayer is an invitation to sit in God’s presence, to wait on Him, communicate with him, and to listen for His voice.

 Hi guys welcome back to Full Surrender Podcast!
In this episode, we look at one of the most comforting yet challenging passages of Scripture: Matthew 6. Jesus tells us not to be anxious about what we will eat, drink, or wear, because our Father in heaven already knows what we need. Instead, He calls us to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, with the promise that “all these things will be added to you.” So often, we find ourselves running after passions, material things, and temporary comforts thinking they will fill us while forgetting the God who provides everything we truly need. I share how anxiety about lack can weigh us down, distract us from our calling, and pull our focus away from Christ. But when we learn to shift our perspective, letting go of worry and setting our eyes on God’s Kingdom, we begin to experience His peace and provision in powerful ways. This conversation is an invitation to stop chasing after the little things and start living in alignment with the eternal. It’s a call to re-center our hearts on God, trust Him with our needs, and remember that a life surrendered to Him is never lacking.

In Acts 10, God interrupts Peter with a vision that shattered everything he thought he knew about holiness, worthiness, and who was allowed to receive the gospel. A sheet descended from heaven filled with animals Peter had never dared to touch. But God’s voice shook his mindset:
“Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.” At the same time, God was working in the heart of Cornelius a Roman centurion, a Gentile, and a man who wasn’t supposed to be part of the story. And yet, heaven had heard his prayers. His generosity reached God’s throne. And through divine orchestration, God brought Peter and Cornelius together.
When Peter entered that Gentile household a place he once believed was off-limits something powerful happened. He preached Jesus boldly: the life, death, and resurrection of the Savior who shows no favoritism. And before Peter could even finish the message, the Holy Spirit fell on everyone in the room.

This episode is about that moment when the Spirit moved without permission, when God tore down cultural walls, and when the gospel reached people who were once considered outsiders. Maybe you’ve felt disqualified. Maybe you’ve wondered if God could use someone like you or someone who doesn’t fit your idea of what “chosen” looks like. But Acts 10 shows us that God is not bound by our borders. His presence is not limited by our preferences. His glory is not confined to the church walls. And His gospel is still breaking through barriers.
Get ready because He’s still sending visions, still raising up unexpected vessels, and still calling the Church to go where it once refused to go.

Part 2 of this week’s Full Surrender episode is live!!! and we’re going deeper. This time, we’re talking about the power of meditating on Scripture, not just reading it, but sitting with it, obeying it, and letting it shape how we live.  Too many people are watering down the Word to make it comfortable but Jesus didn’t. When the enemy came at Him, He didn’t respond with feelings or opinions. He responded with truth. Scripture wasn’t just something He memorized.. it was His weapon.

In this episode, we’ll unpack:

•How Jesus fought back with the Word and how we can too

•Why meditating on Scripture is essential, especially in dry or difficult seasons

•The danger of compromising truth for comfort and how to stand firm

If you’re feeling spiritually weak, stuck, or unsure how to push back against the lies of the enemy, this one’s for you. Let’s learn from Jesus, cling to the Word, and walk in full surrender  even in the wilderness.

On this week’s episode of Full Surrender, we’re talking about what it truly means to meditate on Scripture by looking at Jesus’ journey through the wilderness.
So often, we read the Bible but don’t take the time to meditate to sit with the Word, reflect on it, and obey it. In this episode, we explore how Jesus responded to every temptation from the enemy not with emotion, but with Scripture. He didn’t just know the Word.. He had it hidden in His heart, ready to fight with truth.

We’ll dive into:
 • How Jesus used Scripture as His weapon in the wilderness
 • Why knowing and meditating on God’s Word is vital, especially in seasons of testing

If you’ve ever felt spiritually dry, distant from God, or unsure how to fight back against the enemy’s lies, this episode will encourage you to dig deep, meditate on the Word, and find strength in truth.

Let’s follow Jesus’ example and walk in full surrender even in the wilderness.

In this week’s episode, I’m getting real and vulnerable as I expose the idols I’ve unknowingly created in my heart  those things and people I put in God’s place and how God, in His perfect timing and mercy, has been gently redefining my desires and shifting my heart toward what truly matters. I take a deep dive into my birthday weekend not just the celebrations or moments, but the profound revelations God brought during that time. He reminded me that I am deeply loved, fully known, and never forgotten, even when I feel overlooked or insignificant.

I open up about how I used to idolize people and friendships, believing that love was something I had to chase or earn. I thought I had to constantly strive, prove myself, or even beg for people to show up, to make time, and to stay close. I thought closeness came at the cost of my peace and worth. But God, in His loving mercy, gave me what I thought I wanted those friendships, those validations only to show me that they weren’t the answer. They weren’t what I truly needed. In this episode, I unpack the painful yet liberating process of watching my desires get exposed, seeing my idols lose their grip, and allowing God to realign my heart with His truth. If you’ve ever found yourself chasing relationships, validation, or acceptance  only to end up feeling emptier — this episode is for you. I pray it encourages you to surrender what you thought you needed and make space for the One who alone can satisfy your soul and give you lasting peace.

As I grew to love Him and immerse myself in His Word, I quickly realized that full surrender and a deep, personal relationship with Him are not just encouraged—they are essential. My faith in God has been the guiding light through the most pivotal and challenging moments of my life. It has been my anchor in the storm, reminding me that while we all face hardships and temptations, we are called to yield not to the desires of the flesh or the pressures of the world, but to God’s will.

The Bible teaches us to “offer our bodies as a living sacrifice.” This isn’t just about our physical bodies—it’s about offering the entirety of who we are: our hearts, minds, souls, and actions. Life is undoubtedly difficult, but take heart our battles are not fought in vain. The enemy has already been defeated, and the price of our salvation has been paid in full by Jesus Christ. He became the ultimate living sacrifice for our sins, offering us redemption, hope, and eternal life.

In this podcast, we’ll explore what it truly means to live a life surrendered to God. Together, we’ll tackle the challenges of navigating a world that often pulls us away from our Creator. We’ll dive into scripture, share personal stories, and unpack practical ways to align our lives with God’s truth. I hope to encourage you to live boldly for Christ, knowing that the same God who knows every part of you has called you to live in freedom and purpose.

Let’s walk this journey together, discovering how we can give all of ourselves to the one who gave everything for us.
