Does God really expect me to surrender when I’m all alone? Doesn’t He know I need at lest one other person or I just won’t survive? Good questions.

TABLE READ: What We’re Getting Wrong About Surrender (Ch. 2) S2 E31
Join my TABLE READ series while we discuss the different aspects of my book on surrender and spiritual disciplines. This week we’re redefining a surrendered life and looking at some pillars in the Bible a little differently.
Pull up a chair 🪑 by answering these questions in the comments:
1. Where does the Bible teach us to "just start working or moving" without God's clear direction? (Put another way, if you don't hear God directing you to the next thing, does the Bible teach you to "push on any doors you find until one opens"?)
2. Why don't we stop and listen more? What excuses (justified or Christianized or otherwise) do we use to keep filling our calendars with doing rather than being?
I can’t wait to hear from you!

Reflections on Parenting: It’s Okay to Say This Word . . . A Lot S2 E28
I know this is counter-cultural, but more importantly, it boils down to an act of obedience—the ultimate sign of surrender. It’s hard, and you don’t want to discern it alone.

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?
