-          Video Session summaries

o   Session One: Surrender (10:52)— Surrender is hard. We’re afraid to give God control because we’re afraid we won’t like what he does with our lives. In this session, Jennifer challenges us to embrace surrender as a daily act of willfully accepting and yielding to God’s plans—no matter the cost.

o   Session Two: Intimacy with Jesus (08:21)— So many of us cling to tightly to the things of our lives: achievements, security, approval, relationships, control, and more. But only once we are willing to let go and trust Jesus will we find freedom, abundant life, and true intimacy with him.

o   Session Three: Wild Obedience (07:47)— Obedience and control go hand in hand. When we step out in obedience to God, we must let go of control over results, outcomes, and preferences and courageously surrender to God’s plans. He is worthy of our trust and our obedience.

o   Session Four: Why You Need Help (07:39)— Many of us struggle to ask for help. We want to get it all under control ourselves, without having to bother anyone else, and we aren’t comfortable appearing needy. But even Jesus asked for help. By following his example and allowing ourselves to be helped, we can grow in humility and experience blessing.

o   Session Five: Permission to Rest (06:44)— It can be hard to hear the voice of our Shepherd above all the noise and obligations in our lives. In this session, Jennifer encourages us to quiet the busyness and intentionally make time for rest. Then we will be able to listen to Jesus and follow where he leads.

o   Session Six: Under the Control of God Alone (08:44)—Self-control is not about getting ourselves to behave; it’s about handing over control to God and relying on the Holy Spirit’s power at work within us. When we recognize that self-control comes from him and not ourselves, we will experience transformation and victory over sin.
