Day 73: Surrendered Steps

In this episode, Celeste Sowder shares her powerful testimony of how surrendering her heart to God led to a profound transformation in her life and relationships.

On Good Friday, a day often associated with somberness, Celeste invites listeners to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and his victory over death. She emphasizes that God is not on the cross but alive and well, delighting in us.

Celeste reflects on her journey of faith, admitting that she didn't fully believe in Jesus until 2018. Through a series of events, including a vivid dream and the study of God's Word, she experienced a moment of profound revelation where her unbelief vanished.

She shares how God's prompting led her to pray for reconciliation in her daughter's relationship with her biological father, even when the outcome seemed uncertain. Five years later, that reconciliation came to fruition, demonstrating God's faithfulness and perfect timing.

Celeste encourages listeners to embrace obedience to the Holy Spirit's leading, even when they don't understand the reason. She reminds us that God's promises are yes and amen, and that he is never too early or too late.

The episode concludes with a powerful rendition of the song "Sunday is Coming" by Phil Wickham, a reminder that despite the challenges we face, Jesus is alive and victorious.

Celeste's personal story and insights will inspire listeners to surrender their own hearts to God, trust in his timing, and experience the transformative power of his love and grace.
