Life rarely unfolds the way we imagined. In those moments, many of us tighten our grip, while pushing, trying or angsting ourselves into stress or unhealth.
In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Gem welcomes author and speaker Vivian Mabuni for a thoughtful conversation about surrender, trust, and learning to live with open hands before God.
Drawing from her book Open Hands, Willing Heart, Vivian shares honestly about the challenge of saying yes to God in difficult seasons and how deeper peace often emerges not through striving, but through yielding ourselves more fully to his care and leadership.
Together they explore:
Why control and striving quietly shape our spiritual lives
How surrender becomes a pathway to peace and purpose
Trusting God when life does not go according to plan
The difference between mechanical faith and relational intimacy with God
Finding courage and joy in uncertain seasons
This conversation offers gentle wisdom for anyone navigating disappointment, transition, anxiety, or the longing to follow Jesus in a more grounded and wholehearted way.
If you’ve been carrying pressure, trying to hold everything together, or wondering how to trust God more deeply, this episode will encourage you to loosen your grip and rediscover the freedom of open-handed living.
