One of the greatest barriers to transformation is our instinct to control. We try to manage outcomes, protect ourselves from disappointment, and engineer solutions that feel safe. Be Transformed: New Life Awaits teaches that transformation requires surrender—releasing control so God can do the deeper work the heart truly needs. Control may feel protective, but it actually blocks the healing we long for.
When we cling to control, we operate from fear rather than trust. We assume that if we don’t hold everything together, life will fall apart. But transformation begins when we acknowledge that God sees what we cannot and loves us more than we realize. Surrender is not passivity; it is confidence in God’s character. It is choosing to trust His wisdom over our own instincts.
As the heart learns to surrender, peace begins to replace anxiety. Decisions become clearer. The internal pressure to manage everything loosens. Transformation unfolds because the heart is no longer fighting God’s work. Instead, it becomes receptive—open to truth, correction, and healing. Surrender creates the space where God can reshape our beliefs and desires.
The podcast Taking it Back beautifully illustrates this shift. It explores how trusting God with outcomes restores peace and how releasing control allows Him to work in ways we could never orchestrate ourselves. This message is a powerful companion for anyone learning to surrender and let God lead.
If you’re longing for transformation, begin by surrendering the areas you’ve been trying to manage on your own. Invite God into the places where fear has taken root. Let Him lead you with His peace. To explore this more deeply, listen to Taking it Back and allow God to guide your next steps.
