Do you think of giving up? Or do you think of laying your life down for good? When we think about surrendering our lives to God, we don’t realize the outcome of surrendering all things to Him. We may have a harder time with control than we think. Our God Hears Her podcast guest today is Tara Sun, a woman who had to learn how to surrender her story to the Lord. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn how to surrender control with Tara Sun during this conversation on God Hears Her.    Notes and Quotes:  “We live in a kingdom where Jesus said a lot of upside-down things that actually make a lot of sense when we live by His Word and listen to His Word.” —Tara Sun “When you lay your life down, you get to pick up something greater.” —Tara Sun “God doesn’t waste anything. It’s for a reason, even if I didn’t plan it. And it’s all leading up to creating a stronger, more sanctified you. A you that knows who God is more.” —Tara Sun “It doesn’t matter the greatest plans that I can come up with, it can never touch the goodness and greatness of God’s purposes for my life. He wants our obedience and our “yes” coupled with His divine purposes because ultimately He is in control.” —Tara Sun “The narrative of surrender is actually at the heart of what it means to be a disciple.” —Tara Sun   Verses:  Romans 5:3-5 Genesis 32:22-30 Luke 9:23 John 14:26 Philippians 1:6   Links:  Tara’s website: https://www.tarasunministries.com/ Tara’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/misstarasun God Hears Her website: https://www.godhearsher.org/ God Hears Her email sign-up: https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc  Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast Eryn’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/ Elisa’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/   MB01TIYFMDGJI53
