Why Letting Go Is the First Step Toward Your Purpose

Are you fighting God instead of trusting Him with your future? In this powerful message, Pastor Todd shares the unforgettable image of a mama raccoon clinging to a telephone pole during a flood, refusing to jump into the rescue boat that could save her and her babies. That raccoon had a choice to make, and so do we.

When we hold on to what feels familiar and controllable, we often miss the life God has waiting for us. Through the stories of Jonah and Paul, two men who learned the hard way what happens when you keep fighting God, you'll discover why letting go is actually the first step toward discovering your true purpose.

Jonah ran from God and ended up in the belly of a sea monster. Paul was so determined to do things his way that Jesus had to knock him off his horse and blind him for three days. Both men went to extremes with God before they finally surrendered, and their lives were transformed in ways they never could have imagined.

God's plan for your life is always better than your own, and His purpose for your life goes beyond anything you could dream up. This message will challenge you to stop fighting for control and start trusting the One who sees the bigger picture.
