Anchor Points: Trading Heavy Rocks for Heaven's Riches. Why We're Afraid to Let Go.
What are you holding onto that's actually weighing you down?
Ever been afraid to walk into church because you didn't feel "good enough"? Or hesitated to fully surrender to God because you weren't ready to let go of certain parts of your life?
There's something ironic about holding onto heavy rocks while God is offering us riches. Yet so many of us do it, clinging to what's familiar, even when it's hurting us. Devin Almonte gets real about her own fears: the fear of going to church, the fear of not being "right-side-up" enough, and the fear of giving her whole life to Christ.
But here's the truth she discovered: those rocks we're clutching? They're doing nothing but weighing us down.
🎧 In today's Anchor Point, Devin explores:
- Why fear keeps us from fully surrendering to God
- The irony of holding onto what weighs us down while rejecting what sets us free
- What happens when we finally trade our rocks for His riches
- How to take the first step when you're afraid of letting go
đź“– Scripture (NIV):
Matthew 11:28-30 – "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden light."
