E66: DAY 6 | How I Overcame Fear of Losing Control | Birthed into Purpose
Same news. Opposite responses.
When the Magi announced "a King has been born," the wise men were OVERWHELMED WITH JOY. Herod? OVERWHELMED WITH FEAR.
Why? Because Herod had something to lose. And he was terrified of losing it.
In this challenging episode, Desiree Day explores what happens when we're so busy protecting our kingdoms that we can't recognize God's Kingdom. Herod tried to control, manipulate, and scheme—and he completely missed the Messiah right in front of him.
We do this too. When God starts shifting things, instead of welcoming it, we panic. We grip tighter. We try to control outcomes. We resist change because it threatens our comfort.
But here's the truth: You cannot control your way into God's best. You can only surrender your way into it.
✨ Today's Transformation: From fear of losing control → Trust in God's better way ✨ Scripture Focus: Matthew 2:3-8 (KJV & NLT) ✨ Action Step: Name your "Herod moment"—what are you afraid of losing?
