Daily Living For Christ

Surrendering Control: Letting Go to Grow in Christ

Donald E. Coleman Season 5 Episode 182

Welcome to another transformative episode of the Daily Living for Christ podcast! Today, we take a deep dive into one of the most challenging yet essential aspects of spiritual growth—surrendering control.

What does it mean to truly let go and trust God? How does surrender lead us to deeper discipleship, wholeness, and spiritual transformation? In this episode, we explore the biblical foundation of surrender, from Jesus’ call to deny ourselves (Matthew 16:24-26) to His example of complete obedience to the Father.

We’ll discuss:
Kenosis—the self-emptying of control for the sake of divine love
✅ How surrender is the key to true discipleship and union with God
✅ The difference between surrender and spiritual death—letting go willingly vs. being freed from what no longer has power over us
✅ How the false self clings to control, while the true self rests in God’s love
✅ Why surrendering the need to control outcomes leads to deeper peace and spiritual growth

Through powerful metaphors—like the seed that must fall to the ground and die to produce new life—this conversation will challenge you to examine where control is hindering your growth in Christ.
