What happens when you let go of your personal desires and allow a divine plan to take the lead in your life? On this episode of the Freely She Could podcast, we're exploring the profound journey of "dying to self" and how it reshapes our identity in Christ. I'll share my personal transformation inspired by Fenelon's 17th-century insights and how they've guided my path from worldly pursuits to a deep relationship with Jesus. Through stories and reflections, we navigate the delicate art of balancing faith with everyday life, while embracing grace and mercy as our constant companions.

Together with teachings from Dr. DW Ekstrand, we uncover how the concept of dying to self can lead to life-altering experiences and unexpected revelations. I'll recount a personal story about a family conflict and the power of responding with love, inspired by Peter's denial and redemption. These moments, though challenging, reveal our true selves and align us more closely with God's will. By understanding our new identity in Christ, we not only find personal freedom but also the courage to let Christ guide our actions in alignment with His divine purpose.

As we ponder self-awareness and surrender, practical steps such as the Beatitudes mirror activity come into focus, offering tools for spiritual growth. It's about prioritizing obedience to God, even when emotions run high, and inviting the Holy Spirit's guidance. Get ready to embrace a journey of self-discovery, grace, and community support. Stay tuned, as we'll be kicking off our mini-series "Better Together," where my husband Steve joins me to discuss how dying to self plays out in our relationships, inviting transformation and deeper connection.
