I Said Yes to God… But I’m Still Learning Surrender
Episode 89
Tuesday, 9 June, 2026

Episode 89 of Eat Don’t Compete is an honest reflection on what it means to say yes to God — not just once, but again and again through surrender, obedience, sacrifice, and love. There is a first yes we give God, but there are also many yeses that come after it. In this episode, I reflect on the difference between a one-time decision and a daily posture. I talk about how our yes grows, how surrender can feel difficult when trauma has shaped the way we protect ourselves, and how obedience is deeply connected to trust. Scripture Mentioned / Reflected On John 3:16 1 John 4:19 Romans 12:1 Matthew 16:24 Luke 1 Isaiah 6 Galatians 2:20 Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane This conversation also explores how love, discipline, sacrifice, and submission are all connected to our walk with God. Not in a legalistic way. Not as a checklist. But as part of a real relationship with Him. In this episode, I reflect on: why saying yes to God is not a one-time moment the difference between relationship and religious routine surrender, obedience, sacrifice, and love how trauma can make surrender feel difficult why obedience reveals our trust in God what it means to present ourselves as a living sacrifice how God’s discipline is connected to His love biblical examples of surrender and availability learning to pray through our pain points before they control us This episode is for the person who has said yes to God, but is realizing that the yes still has to be lived out daily.
