What weight are you still holding that God has been asking you to release?

You’ve been capable, responsible, prepared, and strong for so long that putting something down may feel like failure. Maybe it’s a role, a title, a seat at the table, or the quiet need to keep proving yourself.

In this episode, Dr. Phyllis shares a personal story from 2020, when she was transitioning out of a leadership role and trying to hold on to another one. What felt like rejection became mercy. God’s “no” became the release she could not choose for herself.

This is a gentle reminder that surrender is not losing your grip. It is placing the weight in the hands that have been open all along.

You are allowed to set it down.
