Are you weary of constantly striving? Have you tried everything to move your dream forward but find that no matter how hard you work it’s never enough?
Erica Wiggenhorn has been where you are. She has walked through the fire and been tempted in her journey to run after self-reliance, people pleasing and self-doubt. It’s the reason she is so passionate about seeing revival in God’s women in order that we might cease striving and choose to surrender and receive the abundant life Jesus promises.
IF YOU HAVE RESISTED SURRENDERING YOUR DREAM TO GOD, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU.
Erica’s latest release Letting God Be Enough: Why Striving Keeps You Stuck and How Surrender Sets You Free is hitting the shelves on September 7, 2021, and she’s on the podcast today to offer up a little glimpse of the grace-filled Bible teaching to remind us of who we are in Christ and how that changes everything.
Erica is passionate about teaching women to dig deeply into God’s Word, to discover your unique purpose, accept God’s promises, and live by His power. I know you’re going to feel so refreshed after hearing from her in this episode.
In it we’re talking about:
How our struggle to trust God when things get hard is actually a lack of intimacy with his character. Erica calls this an invitation to press into Him and ask for help to see God for who He really is: a loving Father.
We talk about what to do if you’re not hearing from God even though you’ve been praying and begging Him for answers.
And how the poison of self-reliance is a tool the enemy uses to keep us questioning our faith

Scripture:
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”
~ John 15:5-8 (NIV)
He took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”
~ Genesis 15:5 (NIV)
“Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” He said, “But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”
~ Exodus 3:10-12 (ESV)
Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations,
just as he had been told, "So shall your offspring be."
~ Romans 4:18 (NIV)
