If you’ve ever felt the pressure to figure it all out, force it to happen, or keep your head up even when your heart’s worn out — this message is for you.
In this keynote from She Speaks, Meredith Brock shares her honest story of learning to surrender the striving and live from a place of trust instead of trying. With laughter, vulnerability, and deep biblical wisdom, Meredith reminds us: We don’t have to prove ourselves to be used by God. We just have to stay surrendered.
You’ll learn:
- Why God can’t lift what you won’t lay down.
- How to recognize when you’re striving instead of surrendering.
- What Scripture teaches about letting God fulfill His promises — not forcing them.
- How to make a freeing perspective shift that takes the pressure off your performance.
