Do you ever feel like you’re holding everything together — your child, your family, the future, the details, the “what ifs”?

And even when you sit down, your mind won’t stop?

In this episode, we talk about why letting go feels so hard for mothers, and how Jesus doesn’t shame us for trying to control — but gently invites us into rest.

This is not about trying harder. It’s about discovering who is already holding you.

• Why control often comes from fear, not pride • The lie that makes us feel we must manage everything • Jacob’s journey from striving to surrender • How Jesus responds to Martha with tenderness, not correction • How Jesus invites us to rest, not perform • What it means to release control without giving up responsibility • How true peace comes from being held, not holding everything together

• Genesis 2:16–17

• Genesis 3:1–7

• Genesis 32:24–28

• Luke 10:38–42

• Isaiah 53:4–5

• 1 Peter 5:7

• Isaiah 41:10

• Proverbs 3:5–6

• John 10:10

✨ “I don’t have to hold everything together — God is holding me.” ✨ “Letting go is not giving up. It’s trusting God to carry what I can’t.” ✨ “I am safe to rest, because Jesus is already at work.”
