84. It’s Not What You Do — It’s What You Surrender

Friend, what if the most spiritual thing you do today isn’t your quiet time… but the way you wash the dishes, lead your team, comfort your child, or love your spouse well?

In this episode, I want to remind you that God doesn’t just anoint preachers and prophets—He anoints parents, leaders, caregivers, and creators too. Your excellence becomes worship when your work is surrendered to Him.

We’ll look at Exodus 31, where God fills Bezalel with His Spirit for the work of craftsmanship—and discover how God still fills ordinary people like us for holy work.

You’ll discover: ✨ Why surrender matters more than success ✨ How rest is a form of spiritual warfare (especially for recovering “Bossy Helpers” who struggle to set boundaries) ✨ How God meets you in the doing—not just in the quiet moments ✨ Why boundaries, humility, and excellence all flow from the same surrendered heart

If you’ve been weary from trying to do it all, this episode is your invitation to breathe, slow down, and trust that God’s presence fills your ordinary moments with eternal purpose.

Take a deep breath. Whatever’s in front of you today—do it unto Him. Because it’s not what you do … it’s what you surrender.

xoxo,

Danielle
