The Courage to Surrender | Faith, Recovery & Step One

🔥 Control feels safe… until it destroys us.

For many of us in recovery, the hardest thing we ever did was admit one simple truth:

We were not in control.

In this message from Outreach 419 on March 15, Chaplain Heidi Woldhuis begins a new series exploring the 12 Steps through the lens of Jesus — starting with the foundation of them all:

Step One — the courage to surrender.

Scripture reminds us:

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” — Galatians 2:20
“Be still and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

Whether someone struggles with addiction, anxiety, control, or simply trying to manage life on their own terms, the lesson is the same.

The more we grip tighter, the more life slips away.

Freedom starts when we loosen our grip and trust God with the outcome.

For many people in recovery, surrender isn’t weakness.

It’s the moment everything begins to change.
