What if surrender isn’t weakness… but the doorway to God’s strength?

In this episode of Rise and Shine, Haylee unpacks what true biblical surrender looks like — and why it’s completely different from surrendering to an enemy. When we surrender to the world, we lose. But when we surrender to God, we gain everything we need.

Through Scripture and the story of the young boy in John 6, we discover how surrender activates God’s power, multiplies what we place in His hands, and invites His strength into our weakness.

This episode will encourage you to loosen your grip, trust God fully, and watch Him do far more than you could ever do on your own.

• The difference between surrendering to the world vs. surrendering to God.

• Why surrender is not giving up — it is trusting God with the outcome.

• How God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).

• Why holding on tightly drains us, but surrender brings peace.

• How the young boy in John 6 showed powerful faith by surrendering his only food to Jesus.

• What God can do when we give Him everything, even when it feels small.

• John 6:1–14 — the boy with the loaves & fish

• 2 Corinthians 12:9 — His power made perfect in weakness

• Zechariah 4:6-- It is by God's Spirit that we are able to overcome.

Surrender isn’t the end — it’s the beginning of God doing the impossible. When you place what you have in His hands, He multiplies it.
