This week, Jeanette sits down with Bailey Eggen, host of Spilling the Spiritual Tea, for a real, raw, and insightful conversation about surrender, submission, and stepping into your God-given purpose. From the messy moments of motherhood to the struggles of striving in business and marriage, Bailey and Jeanette break down what it really means to trust God completely.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re working harder but getting nowhere, this episode will help you stop striving, break free from fear, and step into the peace that only comes from full surrender. Plus, we dive into prophecy, discernment, and how the Holy Spirit can guide you in business and everyday decisions.
"You cannot live in peace and strive at the same time."
"You can’t be fully unapologetic until you’re fully surrendered."
"If you don’t believe God can change your husband, He won’t."
In This Episode:
The difference between striving and surrender—and why surrender is the key to success
How submission in marriage is NOT about weakness but about trust and alignment with God’s plan
Why healing past wounds is necessary for stepping into your full purpose
What prophecy actually is (Hint: It's NOT fortune-telling) and how to use it in your business
How to discern God's direction for your life and business (even when it's scary)
