His Hands Were Bound

In this episode of the Heaven Meets Home Podcast, Rachel Christine reflects on Jesus' journey to the cross—the One who willingly allowed His hands to be bound, even though He had all authority to walk away.

Through Scripture, personal testimony, and an honest look at surrender, we'll consider what it means to loosen our grip on the people, circumstances, and outcomes we've been desperately trying to control and place them back into the hands of Jesus.

Because surrender isn't defeat.

Sometimes surrender is simply saying:

Jesus, You are Lord.

I trust You with what I can't control.

Not my will, but Yours be done.

And in this week's Sacred Ordinary, we'll practice that surrender in a simple, tangible way—opening our hands before Jesus and giving back to Him what was never ours to carry alone.

His hands were bound so that ours could be set free.
