This is the free, audio-only version of a Substack Live session from last week. There’s a lot of wisdom and substance in this episode, and I know you’ll love it.

I share my personal struggles with the idea of abandoning everything to God Drawing on Father Jacques Philippe's book 'Finding and Maintaining Peace,' I reflect on a common fear that surrendering everything to God might lead to losing everything we value in our lives, and I explain why it’s an irrational fear…even if I struggle with it in my own heart.
This episode is loaded with applicable and peripheral wisdom and practical advice. The Holy Spirit was in on this one in a big way, and I hope you enjoy it.
