In this message, Ryan continues exploring the baptisms of Jesus in Luke 3 and 4, moving from the baptism of the Father’s love into the baptism of surrender.
Drawing from Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness, he reminds us that Christ confronted the deepest roots of human brokenness on our behalf. Full of the Spirit and secure in the Father’s love, Jesus overcame the cravings that so often drive us - the need to be relevant, applauded, or in control.
Ryan gently exposes how much of our striving is wound-driven rather than Spirit-led. Yet freedom is not found in dry self-discipline, but in being deeply loved. As the Father’s affection fills us, the lies we’ve believed begin to loosen their grip, and our hearts are reoriented toward Jesus.
Surrender is not about trying harder, it is about letting His love redefine us. May this message lead you into deeper freedom, where what once drove you is replaced by the steady voice of Abba: You are my beloved.
