The Cost of a Deeper Yes

What happens when your yes to God begins to cost you something? In Episode 3 of Beyond the Familiar, the new series from A New Level Awaits You!, Lois Flewelling explores The Cost of a Deeper Yes—the place where agreeing with God becomes surrendering to God. It is easy to say, “Lord, use me,” when we can still control the outcome. But a deeper yes may require us to surrender comfort, plans, people's approval, our need to understand, or even our need to know what happens next. Jesus demonstrated the deepest picture of surrender in Gethsemane when He prayed, “Not as I will, but as You will.” In this episode, we explore why surrender is not weakness, how Kingdom authority flows from being under the authority of the King, and why obedience is often formed through the small, intentional yeses we give God every day. Sometimes we spend so much time calculating what our yes might cost that we forget to ask another important question: Who might be waiting on the other side of my obedience? God is calling us beyond comfortable Christianity into deeper intimacy, greater surrender, and lives that are fully available for His purposes. So ask yourself: What does my deeper yes look like right now?
