Why is surrender so hard? Many of us were forced in surrender over the past two years. There wasn’t much we could control. So, we laid it down. And picked it up again. Over and over.

Her new book is called “I Surrender All (Sort Of): Laying Down Your Plans So God can Do the Impossible.” She’s a Pennsylvania-based author and teacher—and also a pastor’s wife.

Love is in the air. You’ve probably seen in at every store you’ve been in over the past month. But God doesn’t look at love like we do. While it can be sweet, there is no chocolate, or flowers. God’s love is more about how we treat one another. Let’s dig into how we all should love one another, through one of the most famous verses in the Bible.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 1 Corinthians 13:4-5

We’re in a battle. Every single day. It’s not like any war you’ve seen in the movies. Because we can’t see the enemy. And the battle is for your soul. God has equipped us with everything we need to fight…and to win. Scripture tells us the Bible is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword. That’s from Hebrews 4. Today, we’ll hear from a woman who has put that weapon to the test. It’s Ellie Holcomb. She’s a musician, and a mom of three kids: ages 9, 6 and 3. It’s a busy season.
