White Knuckle Faith vs. Open Handed Trust

This week continues the "Surrender" series with a hard look in the mirror: how well do you actually surrender on a daily basis? Building on last week's message, "The Control We Were Never Meant to Have," this message contrasts two ways of living — White Knuckle Faith (gripping tight out of fear, anxiety, and the need to control) versus Open Handed Trust (releasing control and fully trusting God's plan). Surrender means yielding personal control and trusting God's sovereignty over every area of life — not just going through religious motions, but presenting your whole self, body, and will, as a living sacrifice.
