Episode 41 | Opportunities to See God Jun 11, 2025

Show notes

Are you letting your flesh win and control your decisions, or have you fully surrendered your life to please God? This week, we’re talking about the visible, powerful changes that have happened in Alexis' husband since he laid it all down and gave God complete control.

When the Holy Spirit lives in us, it shouldn’t keep us comfortable. It should move us to serve, to love others boldly, and to live unashamed for Christ. Don’t just settle for the small things. Go all in. When you sell out for God, He can do more than you could ever ask or imagine.

And if you're still in the middle, still wrestling, still trying to figure it out... keep going. God sees you. He's working even when you can't see it.

In this episode of Praises in the Pod, we're diving into a topic that’s both personal and powerful, modesty in surrender. What happens when you truly give Jesus your whole heart? The change doesn’t always happen overnight, but through the gentle guidance of the Holy Spirit, transformation begins, sometimes without us even realizing it.

We talk about how modesty isn’t just about clothes, but about the posture of our hearts.
