What does it actually mean to “give God control” of your life—and why is it so hard to do?

In this episode of Where Your Feet Are, Adam talks honestly about one of the biggest tensions in following Jesus: we love the idea of a powerful, loving “Father God,” but we struggle when He asks to be Lord—the actual owner and driver of our lives.

Using the stories of:

  • Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane (“Not my will, but yours be done”), and
  • Peter stepping out of the boat to walk on water,

Adam unpacks what it looks like to hand God the keys, not just call Him your co‑pilot.

You’ll hear about:

  • Why losing control is at the heart of every powerful story (and your faith one too)
  • How Jesus Himself wrestled with fear, dread, and obedience the night before the cross
  • The difference between knowing God as “Daddy” (Abba) and trusting Him as Lord and Owner (Adonai)
  • A simple challenge: one area of your life this week where you can stop co‑piloting and let God drive

If you’re new to faith, full of questions, or not sure you’re ready to trust God with everything, this conversation is for you. No perfect answers, no pressure to fake it—just real talk about control, fear, and steady steps of trust, right where your feet are today.

Perfect for those who are:

  • Curious about Jesus
  • Wrestling with decisions, anxiety, or “what’s next?”
  • Wanting a faith that’s real, not just religious talk

Stay tuned for Part 2, where Adam shares a raw personal story of when he had to give God the keys in a really hard situation.
