Recently someone came to me in my DMs on instagram and asked, “what exactly is surrender?” And I thought to myself, “this is an easy one for me!” and then quickly the Spirit reminded me, “wait a minute, but you didn’t know this for a LONG TIME.” And I remembered how badly I struggled with my codependency before I learned how to surrender. So today we’re breaking down the very most basic parts of surrender and sharing some of the things we’ve gone through within just the past week and how surrender has played a huge part in surviving all of it.

last week I spent several days in Utah and while I was there, watched as several people I love either received or were answers to other people’s prayers. In this episode, I’m sharing some of those tender mercy experiences, and an answer to prayer that involved me having a one-on-one conversation with an apostle of Jesus Christ.

Have you ever felt like every time you go to do something REALLY important, all hell starts to break loose, like the entire universe starts to conspire against you? We’ve all been there and in fact, Neil and I were just there last week as we prepared to speak to a youth group about the power of addiction recovery through the 12-steps and the atonement of Jesus Christ. I’ve also been studying a book called The War of Art, which is all about his topic. So today’s podcast breaks down the why of what this is, and the what in what to do about it. Remember this the next time you feel discouraged to the point of wanting to quit, that that IS the point of the resistance, but you’re stronger and now you’re smarter too, and you can overcome it. Send this to a friend who might need this same encouragement and if this episode speaks to you, we’d be so grateful if you left a review or shared it on social media (tag me @corrinestokoe so I can repost it).

Kori Andrews is a full time seminary teacher, speaker, and founder of Hi5Live, a community with weekly lives on spiritual motivational topics. Kori bravely shared his story of having a baby in the NICU at primary children’s hospital when I met him a couple summers ago at aspen grove family camp in Utah, where we were both speaking. His baby has since passed away, but the beautiful lessons that Kori shared through that experience have touched me so much that I really wanted him to share his experience with you here too. As he relives the experience of his “last cupcake girl,” the nickname they gave this baby girl Kamryn, he also shares how his belief in God and the atonement of Jesus Christ carried him through it all.
