The Truth We Try to Run From | EP 64

Today at 3:00 PM

Hi guys, welcome back to the Full Surrender Podcast! 🤎 

Today we’re continuing in Romans 1. This part of Romans honestly makes you stop and think. Paul talks about how God has made Himself known to us, yet we can still choose to suppress the truth, turn away from Him, and exchange the Creator for created things. We’re going to talk about what that actually looks like in our lives, the idols we can create without even realizing it, and what happens when we continue to reject what God has already revealed...

Hi guys, welcome back to Full Surrender Podcast! 

In today’s episode, we’re diving into Romans 1:18–26 and taking a deeper look at what Paul says about the wrath of God, humanity’s rejection of Him, and what happens when we exchange the truth of God for what we would rather believe. This passage can be uncomfortable, but it’s also incredibly important. We’ll talk about what it means to suppress the truth, how creation points us toward God, and why turning away from Him ultimately affects the way we live, think...


What If Peace Doesn't Feel Peaceful? Ep 62

Hi guys, welcome back to Full Surrender Podcast! 

In this episode, we’re going into Matthew 26:36–46 and looking at Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane - not just through what He did, but through what He felt. Jesus experienced deep sorrow, anguish, and distress. He knew what was coming, and He asked the Father if there was another way. Yet, in the middle of all of those emotions, Jesus still surrendered to the Father’s will. This made me think about how often we define peace as the absence of hardship, uncerta...

Hi guys, welcome back to Full Surrender Podcast! 🤍

In today’s episode, we’re diving into James 1 and talking about something that sounds simple, but can be so difficult to actually live out: being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.

Sometimes we’re so focused on making sure we’re heard that we forget to listen. Sometimes we react before we take a moment to think, pray, and ask God how we should respond.

James challenges us to look beyond just what we say and...

Hi! Welcome back to another episode of the Full Surrender Podcast. Have you ever felt like God was taking too long? Maybe you’ve been praying, believing, and waiting, but nothing seems to be changing. It can be easy to wonder if He sees you or if He’s forgotten about your situation.
 In today’s episode, we’re walking through Mark 5 and looking at two powerful stories that remind us Jesus is never late, even when it feels like He is. We’ll talk about what it looks like to trust God in the...

Hi! Welcome back to another episode of the Full Surrender Podcast. In this episode, we’re diving into Jeremiah 29 and looking beyond the verse that so many of us know by heart. It’s easy to hold onto God’s promises when life is going the way we hoped, but what do we do when we’re in a season of waiting, disappointment, or uncertainty? We’ll talk about the context behind Jeremiah 29, what God was saying to His people, and how those same truths encourage us today. Even when it feels like nothing is...


Your Story Is Not Over | Ep 58

Uncertainty is something all of us will face. Sometimes God calls us into places that feel uncomfortable, and it’s easy to wonder if we’re really equipped for what He’s asking us to do. In this episode, we’re looking at Matthew 14 and Peter’s decision to step out of the boat and walk toward Jesus. Peter had enough faith to take the first step, but when he focused more on the storm than on Christ, he began to sink. Even then, Jesus reached out and caught him. Peter’s failure wasn’t the e...

Have you ever prayed for God to change something in your life, but it feels like He isn’t answering?
In this episode of Full Surrender Podcast, we look at Paul’s thorn in the flesh from 2 Corinthians 12 and the difficult reality that sometimes God doesn’t remove the thing we’re asking Him to take away. Instead, He meets us with His grace and teaches us to depend on Him in a deeper way.
Maybe you’ve been praying for healing, direction, a relationship, freedom from a struggle, or a breakthrou...

Hello! Welcome back to Full Surrender Podcast. 

Have you ever gone through a season where you just don't feel like doing what needs to be done? Lol, that's honestly how I've been feeling lately. Some days it's not even about being tired or unmotivated - it's more like you're walking through something you don't fully understand, and it can be difficult to see the bigger picture. During this season of my life, more often than not, my payers have been sounding like, "God, I trust You." Not because I have all t...


Walk With Jesus | Ep 55

05/28/2026

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of Full Surrender, we talk about what it truly means to walk with Jesus — one step at a time. Too often we think we know better than the Holy Spirit. We run ahead, make our own plans, and try to lead ourselves instead of being led by God.


But Jesus showed us a different way.


Although He was fully God, Jesus humbled Himself, became man, and walked in complete dependence on the Father through the power of the Holy Spirit. If...

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of Full Surrender, we explore Colossians 1:24–29 and Colossians 2:1–4, uncovering what it truly means to suffer, labor, and remain faithful for the sake of Christ. Paul’s life was marked by sacrifice, endurance, and a deep burden to see believers mature in their faith. Though many would have considered his life foolish because of his suffering, imprisonment, and devotion to the Gospel, Paul understood that true wisdom is found in Christ alone


This episode is a reminder that following Jesus will not always make sense to the wo...

Hi guys!!! In this episode, I sat down with my friend Alexa for a real and honest conversation at a time when I wasn’t feeling my best emotionally. I’m really grateful to have a community where conversations like this can exist—open, reflective, and grounded in growth.
We talk about the experience of shame from different angles: the ways we may have unintentionally caused it in others, and the ways it has been placed on us. This discussion is inspired by insights from the book The Soul of Shame by Curt T...

Hi friends! Welcome back to another episode of Full Surrender Podcast! 

Honesty guys… I haven’t recorded in almost two weeks because I’ve been trying to navigate a really tough season. Life has a way of bringing unexpected moments of grief, pain, and heaviness, and we all process those seasons differently. Some days it feels easy to keep moving, and other days it feels hard to even show up. But one thing I’m learning is that even in the middle of grief, the Lord is still present. He meets us in our...


Forgiven to Forgive | EP 51

04/01/2026

Send us Fan Mail

Hi guys, welcome back to Full Surrender Podcast❤️

Today we are taking about something that often gets avoided…forgiveness. Not the surface-level kind, but the kind that challenges your heart, your pride, and your willingness to truly forgive from the heart. Forgiveness isn’t optional. The same mercy we ask God for is the mercy we’re called to give. And in Matthew 18, through the parable of the unforgiving servant, we see what happens when we receive grace but refuse to extend it.

In this episode, we’re getting real about:<...

Hi guys welcome back to the Full Surrender Podcast!!! In today’s episode, we’re diving into Matthew 9:35–38 — the moment when Jesus looks at the crowds and is moved with compassion, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He says something that still confronts us today: “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.”  We talk about what it really means to see people the way Jesus sees them. Before there was a command to go, there was compassion. There was a heart that broke for the lost. Are we moved? Or are we just busy...

Hi guys!! Welcome back to full Surrender Podcast! In this episode, we’re talking about one of the greatest deceptions of our time  whichnthe belief that we can save ourselves. Starting in John 3:14–19, we unpack what Jesus meant when He said the Son of Man must be lifted up, just as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness. Salvation has never been about works. It has always been about looking in faith to the One who was lifted up. “For God so loved the world…” — but that love does not remove the truth: whoever does...

Hi guys, welcome back to Full Surrender Podcast. I am your host, Carol Faye. In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the most intimate and powerful moments in Scripture Exodus 33, where Moses boldly tells the Lord, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.” Moses wasn’t satisfied with the promise. He wasn’t satisfied with the land. He wasn’t even satisfied with blessing. He wanted God Himself. We talk about what it truly means to desire the nearness of the Lord not just the b...

Hi guys, welcome back to the Full Surrender Podcast. In today’s episode, we’re diving into 2 Timothy 4:1–8 , a sobering and powerful charge to remain faithful in a world that no longer wants truth. Paul’s words challenge us to examine whether we’re truly living surrendered lives or slowly drifting toward comfort, compromise, and convenience. We talk about what it really means to preach the Word, endure hardship, and finish the race well especially when following Jesus becomes costly and unpopular. This episode is a heart check for anyone who feels the tension be...

Hey guys!!! Welcome back to Full Surrender Podcast with Carol Faye!  
We live in a culture that rewards visibility, influence, titles, and platforms. Even within the church, it’s easy to measure success by how many people are watching, listening, or affirming us. But Jesus never pursued status. He consistently chose the posture of a servant.
In this episode of Full Surrender, I speak openly and passionately about Christian ethics, following Christ, and how far we’ve drifted from the example Jesus gave us. This is not a polished teaching it’s a raw...

Hey guys, welcome back to the Full Surrender Podcast.
In today’s episode, we’re talking to the heart that feels tired, worn down, and defeated. We’re walking through Psalm 23 to uncover where true security is found when life feels overwhelming and you’re running out of strength.
This Psalm reminds us that even in the valley, even in the presence of enemies, the Lord remains our Shepherd leading, providing, restoring, and protecting. When circumstances feel unstable and confidence feels shaken, Psalm 23 calls us back to the truth that our safety...

As we step into a new year, I want to create space to reflect honestly not just on what we went through, but on what God was doing in us through it all. The moments that stretched us, the places that felt uncomfortable, and even the areas that felt broke...

Honestly, today I didn’t feel like recording. I’m in one of those seasons where everything feels heavy and hope feels a little harder to hold onto. But I decided to show up anyway, because I know I’m not the only one walking through something hard right now. And if I’m going to encourage you to surrender fully to God, I have to be willing to share the real, vulnerable moments too. In today’s episode, I open up about the...

Hey guys, welcome back to the Full Surrender Podcast.

Today, we’re diving into how people throughout the Bible and even today respond to the holiness of God. Holiness doesn’t just impress; it exposes, confronts, and transforms. From Peter falling to his knees in Luke 5 to people today who pull away from his presence, truth, make excuses for not reading the Word, avoid church, or criticize those walking in obedience the holiness of God. Whether you’ve been running from conviction or wrestling with discomfort in His presence, this episode will r...

In this episode of Full Surrender, we’re diving deep into what happens when we turn justice into an idol. When we demand fairness, retribution, or accountability, but leave Jesus out of the picture. Often people seek Justice in a way that does not honor the Lord.  Using the story of the woman caught in adultery , we explore how Jesus redefined justice through mercy, truth, and restoration. While the world says “stone her,” Jesus says, “Neither do I condemn you go and sin no more.” This episode challenges us to look inward:

In today’s episode of Full Surrender, we’re diving deep into Luke 15 but not to talk about the prodigal son. We’re talking about the other one. The one who stayed. The one who obeyed. The one who worked. And yet, the one whose heart was still far from the Father and didn’t understand the father’s heart. So often when we hear this story, our focus is on the son who ran away the one who wasted everything and came crawling back. But Jesus didn’t stop there. He told this story t...

Hi guys!!! welcome back to Full Surrender!!! Today we are diving into the story of the prodigal son. This story isn’t just about a son who ran away it’s about a Father whose kindness never changed. The Prodigal Son took everything, left home, and wanted nothing to do with his father or his family. Yet even in the distance, when he had nothing left to offer, he remembered the goodness of his father and started his way back home. That’s the Gospel. God longs for us even when we’ve walked a...

Hi guys.. Welcome back to Full Surrender Podcast!!! 
Today I just wanted to remind you that God is holy, He should be our center focus, and we should long for fellowship with him. In a world that constantly pushes us to be seen, recognized, and celebrated, it’s easy to forget that being known by God is enough. We have to grow in finding true contentment in where God has us even when no one else notices. You don’t have to chase platforms or validation to prove that’s your enough or that...

Hey, welcome back to the Full Surrender Podcast!

Today we’re diving into a powerful reminder from Mark 6 and Mark 8 that even when we forget what God has done, He’s still in it.  The disciples walked with Jesus, saw miracles firsthand, yet still struggled to see who He truly was. Sound familiar? Sometimes we do the same. We’ve seen His goodness, but when things get hard, our faith gets foggy.

This episode will encourage you to open your eyes again to remember that no matter how unclear things...

Hiii guyssss welcome back!!!! 

In today’s episode, we look at Genesis 11 and the Tower of Babel, a moment when humanity tried to exalt itself instead of exalting God. The people sought to build their own kingdom, their own name, and their own way but the Lord redirected them. He is so merciful!!!  I also , spoke about the call to chase holiness, to surrender fully to the Lord, and to walk in humility before Him. Holiness is not about striving for perfection in our own strength, but about staying low, staying surr...

In today’s episode, we dive into Psalm 42, a powerful passage written by the sons of Korah. In this psalm, we see the raw honesty of a soul weighed down by sadness and depression, yet still reaching for God. The psalmist asks the hard questions: “Why, Lord?” They recall happier days and wrestle with the ache of longing. But even in their downcast state, they speak truth to their soul and remember the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord.

Hi Friends!!  Welcome back to the Full Surrender Podcast with Carol Faye.

Today’s episode is all about what it means to pursue a Christ-centered life. As I look around especially on social mediaI see so much division and hostility. Many people in todays culture are being led by their fellings and validate things that truly do not honor the Lord, validate lies, and sin.  We live in a culture that is quick to take sides and quick to cancel. The message often sounds like: “If you don’t agree with me, you’...

Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s so important in our walk with Christ: how Jesus taught us to pray. A couple of weeks ago, I picked up an Apologetics Bible and a book called The Holiness of God by R.C. Sproul. From these resources, I’ve selected a few passages to help guide our conversation on the power and purpose of prayer. As believers, we’re called to be people of prayer not for the approval of others, but to glorify and exalt God. Prayer isn’t just something we do; it’...

 Hi guys welcome back to Full Surrender Podcast!
In this episode, we look at one of the most comforting yet challenging passages of Scripture: Matthew 6. Jesus tells us not to be anxious about what we will eat, drink, or wear, because our Father in heaven already knows what we need. Instead, He calls us to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, with the promise that “all these things will be added to you.” So often, we find ourselves running after passions, material things, and temporary comforts think...

Hi guys!! Welcome back to Full Surrender Podcast. 

This was one of those late night moments where my heart was heavy, and I just needed to talk it out. I shared about the importance of staying low before God, not letting ourselves get comfortable in our walk, and remembering how even Peter denied Jesus when pressure came. We have to stay low and seek him daily! Not once a week.. once a month.. but seeking him for daily bread. I also touched on Acts, the early church, and what it really l...

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the book of James!! A passage that challenges us to count it all joy when we face trials, because those very trials are producing something eternal in us. We’ll talk about what it means to consider it joy when various trials come because it will be hard but consider it joy because it produces endurance and perseverance. I also speak about how God uses pressure to build endurance, and why true...

Hey yall!!! Welcome back to Full Surrender Podcast today we are studying Acts chapter 10. 
In Acts 10, God interrupts Peter with a vision that shattered everything he thought he knew about holiness, worthiness, and who was allowed to receive the gospel. A sheet descended from heaven filled with animals Peter had never dared to touch. But God’s voice shook his mindset:
“Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.” At the same time, God was working in the heart of Cornelius a Roman centurion, a Gentile, and a man who was...

So many of us think control equals safety that if we just grip tighter, plan harder, or do more, we’ll feel secure. But what if your control is actually rooted in fear? What if your so called “safety” “protection” is really just distrust in disguise?

Hey Guys!

Part 2 of this week’s Full Surrender episode is live!!! and we’re going deeper. This time, we’re talking about the power of meditating on Scripture, not just reading it, but sitting with it, obeying it, and letting it shape how we live.  Too many people are watering down the Word to make it comfortable but Jesus didn’t. When the enemy came at Him, He didn’t respond with feelings or opinions. He responded with truth. Scripture wasn’t just something He memorized.. it was His weapon.<...

Hey guys! On this week’s episode of Full Surrender, we’re talking about what it truly means to meditate on Scripture by looking at Jesus’ journey through the wilderness.
So often, we read the Bible but don’t take the time to meditate to sit with the Word, reflect on it, and obey it. In this episode, we explore how Jesus responded to every temptation from the enemy not with emotion, but with Scripture. He didn’t just know the Word.. He had it hidden in His heart, ready to fight with truth...
