Hi guys!!! In this episode, I sat down with my friend Alexa for a real and honest conversation at a time when I wasn’t feeling my best emotionally. I’m really grateful to have a community where conversations like this can exist—open, reflective, and grounded in growth.
We talk about the experience of shame from different angles: the ways we may have unintentionally caused it in others, and the ways it has been placed on us. This discussion is inspired by insights from the book The Soul of Shame by Curt Thompson, which explores how shame shapes our stories, our relationships, and our sense of self.
This isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about creating space for awareness, accountability, and healing. If you’ve ever wrestled with feelings of shame or wondered how it shows up in your life, this conversation might resonate with you.
Thanks for being here and for being part of a community that values honesty and growth. #christianpodcast

Hi friends! Welcome back to another episode of Full Surrender Podcast!

Honesty guys… I haven’t recorded in almost two weeks because I’ve been trying to navigate a really tough season. Life has a way of bringing unexpected moments of grief, pain, and heaviness, and we all process those seasons differently. Some days it feels easy to keep moving, and other days it feels hard to even show up. But one thing I’m learning is that even in the middle of grief, the Lord is still present. He meets us in our weakness, comforts us in our pain, and gives us strength when we feel like we have none left.

My friend Alexa came to support me while I recorded this episode, and I’m so grateful for her because if I’m being honest, I truly did not want to record today. Sometimes having people around you who encourage you and remind you to keep going is such a gift. Their presence can be one of the ways God shows His love and faithfulness in difficult seasons.

On today’s episode, we’re talking about Matthew 28:19 and the Great Commission. Even in seasons where life feels heavy, God still calls us to go, make disciples, and share His truth with the world. We’ll dive into what it means to carry out this calling, how obedience looks in everyday life, and why the mission of Jesus still matters so deeply today. If you’ve been feeling weary, discouraged, or unsure of your purpose, I pray this episode reminds you that God can still use you even in the middle of hard seasons.

Hi guys, welcome back to Full Surrender Podcast❤️

Today we are taking about something that often gets avoided…forgiveness. Not the surface-level kind, but the kind that challenges your heart, your pride, and your willingness to truly forgive from the heart. Forgiveness isn’t optional. The same mercy we ask God for is the mercy we’re called to give. And in Matthew 18, through the parable of the unforgiving servant, we see what happens when we receive grace but refuse to extend it.

In this episode, we’re getting real about:
– How pride, hurt, and offense block your healing
– What it actually means to forgive from the heart
– And how remembering what God has forgiven you of changes everything

This isn’t about excusing what happened to you but it’s about freeing yourself from what’s been holding you hostage.
Let’s surrender our right to hold onto hurt and step into the freedom that comes with forgiveness. #christianpodcast

Hi guys welcome back to the Full Surrender Podcast!!! In today’s episode, we’re diving into Matthew 9:35–38 — the moment when Jesus looks at the crowds and is moved with compassion, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He says something that still confronts us today: “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” We talk about what it really means to see people the way Jesus sees them. Before there was a command to go, there was compassion. There was a heart that broke for the lost. Are we moved? Or are we just busy? Are we praying for revival but unwilling to be the answer to the prayer?

This episode challenges us to examine:

•Why the harvest is ready but laborers are scarce

•The difference between admiration of Jesus and obedience to Jesus

•How comfort, distraction, and fear keep us from the fields

•What it means to pray for workers — and become one

Jesus didn’t say the harvest might be plentiful. He said it is. The question isn’t whether there’s work to be done — it’s whether we’re willing to surrender and pray. If this episode convicts you, stretches you, or encourages you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that we are called — not just to sit, but to go.

Let’s surrender comfort.

Let’s surrender fear.

Let’s surrender excuses.

Hi guys!! Welcome back to full Surrender Podcast! In this episode, we’re talking about one of the greatest deceptions of our time whichnthe belief that we can save ourselves. Starting in John 3:14–19, we unpack what Jesus meant when He said the Son of Man must be lifted up, just as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness. Salvation has never been about works. It has always been about looking in faith to the One who was lifted up. “For God so loved the world…” — but that love does not remove the truth: whoever does not believe is condemned already. We must believe but also be intentional with our lives.

We dive into:

•Why salvation is found in Christ alone

•The danger of thinking good works can save you

•The difference between religion and true faith

•What it truly means to believe in Him

This episode is a call to stop striving and start surrendering.

Not religion. Not performance. Not self-righteousness. But Christ alone saves. If this blessed you, share it with someone who needs to hear the truth.

Hi guys, welcome back to Full Surrender Podcast. I am your host, Carol Faye. In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the most intimate and powerful moments in Scripture Exodus 33, where Moses boldly tells the Lord, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.” Moses wasn’t satisfied with the promise. He wasn’t satisfied with the land. He wasn’t even satisfied with blessing. He wanted God Himself. We talk about what it truly means to desire the nearness of the Lord not just the blessing , but Himself. Not just what He can do for us, but who He is. Moses didn’t just ask for direction; he asked, “Teach me Your ways, that I may know You.” That kind of hunger is rare — and it challenges the way we pray today. I also touch on Ephesians 3, where Paul prays that we would be strengthened in our inner being, that Christ would dwell in our hearts through faith, and that we would know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge. This episode is about going deeper beyond surface-level Christianity into real intimacy with God.

Are we truly longing for His presence?
Do we want to know His ways?
This conversation is about shifting from performance to presence, from striving to surrender, and from seeking blessings to seeking Him.

If this episode blesses you, share it with someone who desires to go deeper in their walk with Christ. And as always, thank you for being part of this community. Let’s surrender fully and draw near to the One who first drew near to us. 🤍

Hi guys, welcome back to the Full Surrender Podcast. In today’s episode, we’re diving into 2 Timothy 4:1–8 , a sobering and powerful charge to remain faithful in a world that no longer wants truth. Paul’s words challenge us to examine whether we’re truly living surrendered lives or slowly drifting toward comfort, compromise, and convenience. We talk about what it really means to preach the Word, endure hardship, and finish the race well especially when following Jesus becomes costly and unpopular. This episode is a heart check for anyone who feels the tension between standing firm in truth and blending in with the world. If you’ve ever felt tempted to grow weary, soften the gospel, or give up altogether, this conversation is for you. Let this be a reminder that the crown is worth the costnand faithfulness matters more than applause.

Hey guys!!! Welcome back to Full Surrender Podcast with Carol Faye!
We live in a culture that rewards visibility, influence, titles, and platforms. Even within the church, it’s easy to measure success by how many people are watching, listening, or affirming us. But Jesus never pursued status. He consistently chose the posture of a servant.
In this episode of Full Surrender, I speak openly and passionately about Christian ethics, following Christ, and how far we’ve drifted from the example Jesus gave us. This is not a polished teaching it’s a raw, honest reflection on how the Kingdom of God operates in direct opposition to the world’s values.
Jesus washed feet.
He touched the overlooked.
He humbled Himself.
And yet we often chase recognition, authority, and comfort while calling it faith. This episode is a call to self-examination. To ask hard questions about our motives. To confront pride, spiritual performance, and the desire to be seen. If we claim to follow Jesus, our lives should resemble His marked by humility, obedience, sacrifice, and love. The kingdom forms servants. If you’ve ever wrestled with wanting influence more than obedience, or platform more than faithfulness, this conversation is for you. We must laying down self, embracing obedience, and choosing the way of Jesus even when it costs us something.
If this episode challenged or encouraged you, consider subscribing, sharing it with someone who needs the reminder, and leaving a comment. Let’s grow together in humility and holiness.
