She Leads Boldly: Guiding Christian Wives and Moms to Lead Without Burnout

When Obedience Hurts: Surrendering to God and Surviving the Storm

Sherrika Sanders Season 1 Episode 13

What do you do when you’ve fully surrendered to God — fasting, praying, serving — and yet, it feels like everything in your life is falling apart?

In this raw and honest episode of She Leads Boldly, I open my heart and share what it feels like to be a faith-driven wife, mother, and leader who said "yes" to God — and is now walking through fire.

If you’re tired of being the strong one, if you’re silently suffering while trying to hold your family, business, and spiritual life together — this episode is for you.

We talk about:

  • Why surrendering to God sometimes invites spiritual warfare
  • What to do when obedience doesn’t lead to instant peace
  • How to love others without losing yourself
  • Biblical wisdom for setting boundaries that honor God and your well-being
  • Scriptures to cling to when you’re weary, isolated, or misunderstood

You are not crazy, weak, or faithless — you’re in the middle of holy refinement.

If you're feeling crushed but not destroyed… Friend, you're not alone. God sees. God hears. And He is walking with you, even in the fire.

This is your reminder that you are not being punished. You are being positioned.

🔥 Listen now to be reminded that your pain has purpose, your surrender has power, and your breakthrough is closer than you think.
