The "S" word...SURRENDER! Comforting thoughts on a scary subject
Do you have a hard time trusting God with your kids' overall safety?
Do you feel like God is asking you to "surrender" something and it scares the willies out of you?
In this episode, Cas shares some thoughts about how surrender doesn't have to mean death and destruction, and how it can re-ground us on the peace of God (which we so desperately need) when it comes to the welfare of our family members.

NOTE!! I made a mistake on a verse I quoted because my brain was going faster than my mouth, and I wanted to clarify that here! There is a part where I say, "Take up MY cross, and follow me." That is wrong lol. We don't take up Jesus's cross--we could never do that, but He does ask us to take up our own crosses. So please forgive that mistake!!
I also said the word "wife" weird as well because I was trying to say "wife" and "mom" at the same time. So it came out "Waaff." Lord help me haha.

Choosing Life & Peace in the Face of Death
What happens when we lose someone very close to us? How do we keep from drowning in grief? With the recent death of her dad at the forefront, Cas uses Romans 8:6 to offer some practical advice about how to keep our heads above water in the face of immense grief. This is applicable to all struggles, not just grief.
