Description
Have you ever found yourself saying “I got this” to God?
Erin Yost, from our Homewood community, spent years striving for physical and spiritual perfection, living out a false-gospel narrative that told her everything was up to her. Eventually, she found herself completely broken and in the grips of a full-fledged eating disorder.
Through moment-by-moment surrender, persistent prayer, and running to Him for help, Erin shares how she found rescue, recovery, and freedom in Jesus.
In this episode, you will learn:
— His grace is sufficient; it’s not up to us.
— Coming to the end of ourselves is an opportunity to learn full reliance on God.
— Surrender to the Lord often requires moment-by-moment trust and obedience.
