Letting go takes courage—especially when the things we’re holding onto once mattered deeply. In this episode, we talk about how good things can quietly become idols, how identity can get tied to old seasons, and why God sometimes asks us to release what’s familiar in order to follow Him faithfully.

In this episode, we talk about New Year’s resolutions through a Christ-centered lens. We explore why self-fixing so often fails and how true, lasting change comes from surrender, stillness and letting God set the agenda. It’s an honest, encouraging conversation about trading willpower for surrender and asking God not “What should I fix?” or “What goal should be set?” but “What are You forming in me?” and “Where are You leading me?”

In this episode, Michaella shares the heart behind her word for 2025: Obey. 2025 was a journey of learning how to truly obey God by letting go of control, laying her plans, fears, and expectations at His feet, and trusting Him with the outcome. Obedience stretched Michaella into places that required surrender—saying yes to what God asked of her, even when it was uncomfortable or didn’t make sense.

We talk about how obedience became an act of faith, how surrender was a daily choice, and how God met Michaella in the moments she chose to follow His lead instead of her own. If you’re in a season of releasing control and learning to trust God more fully, this episode is for you.
