How to Trust God When You're Afraid to Let Go: Finding Freedom Through Surrender
Tuesday, 25 November, 2025
Faith Over Fear Episode Summary Guest: Mary DeMuth Topic: The Freedom of Surrender: 40 Devotions to Let Go and Live Free What if the peace you’re craving isn’t found in control, but in letting go? In this episode, Carol McCracken talks with author and speaker Mary DeMuth about her new devotional The Freedom of Surrender. Together, they explore what it means to release the hidden parts of our lives—our past, our relationships, our daily struggles, and our deepest worries—to a God who can handle them better than we can. Mary shares how surrender became a life-changing spiritual practice, one that moves us from striving and fear into trust and rest. She offers honest insights about how to identify areas of resistance, what healthy surrender looks like, and why God often meets us most powerfully when we finally stop trying to manage everything ourselves. Whether you’re carrying regret, trying to fix relationships, or simply exhausted from worry, this conversation reminds you that freedom begins where self-reliance ends.

Mary talks about surrendering our inner life—our thoughts, wounds, and private battles. Which part of your inner life might God be inviting you to release today? How can you tell when you’ve picked something back up that you once laid down before God? What’s one relationship where you sense God asking you to trust His timing and work rather than your own effort? Mary reminds us that surrender and freedom are connected. What would “living free” look like for you this week? Which Scripture verse helps anchor your heart when surrender feels scary or uncertain?
