What Does Surrender Actually Look Like?

About this episode

What does it mean to say that Jesus is the Lord of your life?

We hear this phrase a lot in the Church, that Jesus is the Lord of our lives, that he has dominion over them. But what does this look like practically? If we just look at the definition, it means surrendering everything we have to God, and giving it to him without hesitation. But how can we truly surrender everything to him without fearing we won’t get it back?

Today, Fr. Mike talks about how we can surrender to God daily.
