Do you ever feel like the harder you try to stay in control, the more anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed you become?

In this week’s Midweek Motivation, Jess uses the picture of roller coasters and the truth of Philippians 2 to explore our deep desire for control—where it comes from, why it’s so human, and how it can quietly move us away from peace. From the very beginning of Scripture, we see this struggle play out, and we still wrestle with it today. This message invites us to pause, reflect, and discover how humility and surrender lead us into the peace we’re actually longing for.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why our need for control is wired into us—but how it can become unhealthy
• How humility opens the door to peace and freedom
• Practical questions to help you identify what you’re carrying that isn’t yours
• What Scripture teaches us about surrender, obedience, and self-control
• How letting go of control can realign your heart with God’s purpose
