The Mentor’s Table podcast | Summer REPLAY: “Surrendering Even When You ‘Know’ Better”
Summer REPLAY is here featuring some of our most popular episodes from Season One. Whether you’re new here (welcome!) or you’re getting caught up, I’m glad you’re here.
Pull up a chair!.
PLAY THE EPISODE
Over the summer we'll be re-releasing some of our most popular episodes from season one. First on the list is "Surrendering Even When You 'Know' Better." This episode originally aired on November 20, 2024. Enjoy!
SHOW NOTES
In today’s episode, we’re going to step on some of my fellow recovering-control-freak’s toes. We’ll start with Jesus asking Simon (Peter) to lower his nets in the sea after he’s been fishing all night and caught nothing. As a fisherman by trade, Peter KNOWS BETTER, yet he answers, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets” (Luke 5:5 esv).
When we’re talking about God’s invitation to surrender, there is no caveat that says we can wait until it starts to make sense to us.
How About You?
Which of your past experiences does Peter’s example trigger in your memory?
Do you still find yourself hung up on waiting for the understanding to come before the surrender?
Are there any practices/habits you have implemented that have helped you be able to surrender before you understood the why?

The Mentor’s Table podcast | S1E14: “Will fasting kill me?” & Other Questions You’re Afraid to Ask.
It’s our season finale, and we’re digging into all the questions you have but don’t want to ask. This episode is jam-packed with knowledge that will empower you to start your own fasting rhythm.
As a parting gift to me for the summer, please subscribe and share this episode with someone who you want to start a fasting rhythm with. We really appreciate it!
Pull up a chair here at The Mentor's Table, and join our multi-part series on the spiritual discipline of fasting.
PLAY THE EPISODE
In this season finale, we jump in with questions about fasting that you’re afraid to ask. This episode is packed with powerful information that will keep you motivated on your fasting journey. As with all spiritual practices, we want to remind you that the goal is formation, and formation always takes time . . . lots of it. Start small, and like the other practices, begin with asking God what He wants you to do, and then follow that.
We’re signing off for the summer to focus on developing some other resources for you. Until then, take some time to catch up on episodes that you missed. But most importantly, please hit the subscribe button wherever you listen to this podcast. That will insure that our first episode of season two will automatically populate your feed when it drops. And if you wanted to get me a present for the summer, I sure would love it if you shared your favorite episode from this season with one of your friends. Let’s bring more voices around the table this fall.
Happy summer!
