When the Peace Feels Costly: What to Do When God Says “Let Go”

Amy Wienands

Have you ever felt like God asked you to give up something that felt good… even godly? In this vulnerable and heartfelt episode, Amy shares a deeply personal story about wrestling with obedience, identity, and the unexpected cost of peace.

From navigating a hard decision with a faith-filled yes, to processing the emotions that come with letting go of something you love, Amy invites you into a conversation we don’t often hear: What if your next season with God requires a step of surrender before a step of clarity?

She reflects on how obedience is rarely convenient, but always worth it. This is an episode for anyone who's been afraid to let go, scared of silence, or wondering what comes after the no.

You’ll walk away with renewed courage to trust God even when the path feels uncertain—and a reminder that when God asks you to lay something down, it's only because He’s already made a way forward.
