Summary

Does surrendering to God actually mean we have no control? If God is sovereign like he says, then what's our role in life? If you've ever asked those questions, this episode is for you. As we enter into a new year, many of us wonder what role we have to play in life and how to plan and dream with God. In this encouraging and practical episode, Tara walks you through four things you CAN control, how you can show up for the life God's given you, and steward what you have while always trusting that God is sovereign. For more on how to trust God with your story in the unknowns that this year may bring, grab a copy of Tara's book, "Surrender Your Story" here. -- OUR SPONSORS: Hatch is offering our listeners $20 off your purchase of a Hatch Restore 2 and free shipping at www.hatch.co/truthtalks.
