Discovering life, love, and God!



Why Don’t I Change Even When I Want To?

What does surrender look like? It begins with a challenging but straightforward movement from clenched fists to open hands before God. Where are we holding on too tightly, and what might it look like to trust God there? Before we can fully follow where God is leading, we must first be willing to loosen our grip and place our lives back into His loving and wise hands.

Current Series

Surrendering to God is not a one-time decision, but a daily way of life. In a culture that prizes control, self-reliance, and certainty, this series invites us to discover the freedom found in trusting God with our plans, our fears, and our future. The beauty of surrender is that it is not weakness but worship, not loss but life, and how opening our hands to God allows Him to lead us into His best.
