Surrendering and letting go of control is a challenging topic to hear, but it is central to the life of a Christian.

While our fear or stress would lead us to try and control our circumstances, and society would have us manifest our way to happiness, the truth is that we can’t control everything.

Surrendering to God’s plan, even in the midst of challenging circumstances, can bring much greater peace than our own control ever could.

In this episode of the SHE podcast, I talk with author Tara Sun about how to surrender to God and let Him take control.

Meet Tara

Tara Sun is an author and the host of the podcast Truth Talks with Tara. Diagnosed with fibromyalgia at a young age, Tara knows what it means to face setbacks and disappointments – and what it looks like to be stripped of the control she desperately wanted.

In her new book, Surrender Your Story, Tara shares practical steps, strategies and biblically rich insight for letting go of control and moving forward in faith and the freedom that comes with surrendering fully to God.

Hi, I'm Jordan.
& I'm glad you're here.

I have a huge heart for helping other mamas (and future mamas to-be) naturally support their body, embrace their femininity, and make healthy swaps for their families in a way that works for them and glorifies God (zero perfection required)

My days are spent writing books, hosting the SHE podcast, sharing product recommendations, and creating resources rooted in biblical values to help you do just that.
