"You will never know how much this past weekend has meant to me. I have struggled for years (since my son died 10 years ago) to get back to this kind of closeness to the Lord. To be truly able to hear His voice again. Not that I haven’t followed Him or served Him. It’s just been a bit of a journey back to where I once was. I feel that this was the last hill to climb to find my way back spiritually to the place I once enjoyed... My One Word for this year is ABANDON. I want to live totally abandoned to God. And now I have some more tools in my tool belt to use to make this a reality. So thank you for that!... Thank YOU Wendy! I know it is God doing the work, but you, dear sister, are the one He used to bring this about in my life." - Leader, Northcliffe Baptist Church, FL
About the Brave Surrender Bible Study:
"I loved the study, the videos, and the depth of the questions. It really helped me recognize my own fears and I could reflect on my journey so far."
"We enjoyed your study of Brave Surrender. Your insight and comparison of Hinds Feet On High Places to our walk with Jesus encouraged us, challenged us, and impacted our hearts! I told our ladies that in so many ways I wish I had been given this study earlier in my walk, but God's timing is best. We are now looking for our next study, but we all agree we will not find a deeper more insightful study. Thank you!"
"My biggest take away from the study is the constant inability, on a day-to-day basis, to turn my life and will over to God, painful or not. With that beings said, the awareness of that has brought me to a place of diligent work to change just as Much-Afraid did. As a result of this study, the insecurity and low self-esteem that plagued me for so long was taken away from me. My goal was to uncover the fear that kept me in doubt and not trusting a God. Instead, God did something much greater. He knew my goal wasn’t sufficient enough to continue his purpose in my life. Today, I finally see who I am in Christ and his purpose for me in ALL I do. I understand the LOVE God speaks of in the Bible."
"My fear has been that I am screwing up my kids!! I am overly protective, give too much advice, ride them about making good choices, and the list goes on…but I learned that all these things I do out of love and I need to surrender them to God, our shepherd, because he loves them even more than I do! That awareness and surrender (daily) has brought me out of that fear so that I am present to God’s calling me to Hight Places."
"This study has helped me in my forgiveness of others and my patience in difficult areas of my life."
"I have to say it was definitely the most difficult study I have ever done, but that being said, it was the best teaching tool I have ever had since being a Christian. After I finished the book I was able to look at Much-Afraid in a different way. I saw her as me. I now have a mentor through my church and am getting ready to reread the book alone. I am learning more now than I ever have and feel closer to God because of this study and the support of my mentor. I am finding that what you said, "The places of your greatest hurt will be the places of your greatest fruit when you surrender to Him. I feel like my eyes are opened wide now. I still have a lot of work to do, but I am understanding much better every day."
