Episode 16 – Surrender First, Success Second

Key Verses:

• Proverbs 16:3 – “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.”

• Proverbs 16:9 – “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”

• Proverbs 16:16 – “How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.”

Overview:
In Episode 16, Greg Carroll reflects on Proverbs 16 and the deep connection between surrender, wisdom, and true financial success. While the world rewards hustle and control, God calls us to submit our plans, follow His steps, and pursue wisdom over wealth. This episode is a powerful reminder that peace comes not from perfect strategy—but from a heart aligned with God’s will.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why surrender is the starting point for peace and progress

• How planning is important—but must remain flexible to God’s direction

• Why wisdom is more valuable than income, milestones, or material gain

• How your financial decisions reflect your trust—or lack of trust—in God

Take Action:

• Review your current financial goals: Have you committed them to God in prayer?

• Consider where you may be clinging to control instead of following God’s lead

• Ask yourself: Are you prioritizing wisdom—or chasing temporary wealth?

Pray:
“Lord, I surrender my plans. Help me follow Your steps. Give me wisdom before wealth, and peace before profit.”
