  • Mental Striving and Clarity: Trusting God Without Overthinking

    Mental Striving and Clarity: Trusting God Without Overthinking
    Feb 19 2026

    In this bridge episode of the Surrender Series, Joni Rosebrock addresses the hidden shift from outward striving to mental striving, where overthinking and the pursuit of clarity quietly replace simple trust and obedience.

    She teaches that Scripture does not require full understanding before obedience, but calls believers to trust the Lord, walk by faith, and remain connected to Christ rather than leaning on their own reasoning.

    This episode gently redirects thoughtful, sincere listeners from clarity-seeking and mental exhaustion back to steady abiding, rooted trust, and faithful obedience to what God has already made clear in His Word.

  • Surrender Your Striving: How Comparison, Complaining, and Control Keep Us Stuck (Episode 80)

    Surrender Your Striving: How Comparison, Complaining, and Control Keep Us Stuck (Episode 80)
    Feb 12 2026

    In this episode of WRAP Yourself in the Word, Joni explores what it means to surrender striving by uncovering how comparison, complaining, and commiserating reveal a restless heart that is not fully trusting God. Drawing from Scripture and Chapter 11 of WRAP Yourself in the Word, she explains how awareness, repentance, and obedience lead us out of self-reliance and into spiritual renewal.

    This episode invites listeners to exchange striving for surrender and prepare their hearts for a life of abiding in God's presence.

  • The Hidden Weight of Expectations: How Jesus Offers Rest for Weary Christian Women

    The Hidden Weight of Expectations: How Jesus Offers Rest for Weary Christian Women
    Feb 5 2026
    Many women feel exhausted because they are carrying more than they were ever meant to hold. In this episode, we explore how expectations quietly shape our decisions, fuel striving, and pull us away from trust, often without us realizing it. Through Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11, we learn how surrendering expectations is not about escaping responsibility, but about exchanging heavy burdens for a way of obedience that leads to life and rest for the soul.
