What if the freedom you're desperately seeking only comes through surrender?
Best-selling author and trauma survivor Mary DeMuth returns to The Holy Shift Show to explore one of faith's most challenging paradoxes: we can't control our way to peace—we have to learn to let go.
Mary shares her personal journey of healing from complex trauma, the slow work of God in restoring her relationship with her mother, and why surrender isn't defeat or resignation, but the pathway to seeing God at work in our lives. Mary and Christinedig into the specific areas where surrender feels impossible—our inner lives, our pasts, our relationships, our daily worries, and those particular outcomes we're gripping so tightly.
If you're struggling with cynicism, exhausted from trying to control everything, or frustrated by how long it takes to heal, this episode offers both validation and gentle encouragement. Mary reminds us of the upside-down kingdom truths that sometimes God takes a long time to do something suddenly, and freedom comes only through surrender.
