Welcome back to another episode of Stay True Podcast! This week, Madi sits down with Lysa TerKeurst to talk about the cost of control and how to get your peace back. When we're afraid of getting hurt, disappointed, or blindsided again, control can feel like protection… but what is it actually costing us? Madi and Lysa unpack the fears underneath our need for control, how past pain affects our ability to trust, and what it looks like to move forward through forgiveness and surrender. If you've been carrying the weight of trying to hold everything together, this conversation will encourage you to trust God with what you can't control and let His peace rule in your heart.
As always, stay you and stay true!
Topics we dive into:
-What is the root cause of control?
-Does feeling afraid mean we don't trust God?
-How do we move forward from past hurt and trauma?
-What role does forgiveness play in finding peace?
-When does giving advice become trying to control someone?
-What's the difference between self-control and controlling others?
-How do we let God's peace rule in our hearts?
AND SO MUCH MORE!
