Sweater Weather, Soul Check: What’s Keeping You From Going All In With God? | The Autumn Reset Pt. 1

It’s officially sweater weather—but what are you hiding underneath the layers?

In Part 1 of The Autumn Reset, we’re taking a soul check and asking a question that might be a little uncomfortable: What’s keeping you from going all in with God?

We all have our own version of a “comfort cardigan”—something that makes us feel safe, covered, protected, or in control. Maybe yours is a relationship. Maybe it’s achievement, busyness, people-pleasing, perfectionism, resentment, control, or even an old version of yourself you don’t know how to let go of.

But what happens when the very thing making you feel safe is also keeping you from experiencing the deeper relationship with God you’ve been asking for?

In this episode, I explore what the Bible teaches about surrender, trusting God, letting go, and following Jesus even when you can’t see what comes next.

Sometimes surrender looks like releasing what made you feel safe before you know what God is going to do next.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why you may feel disconnected from God
• What it actually means to go all in with Jesus
• Identifying the things you use for security instead of God
• How control, relationships, busyness, perfectionism, resentment, and people-pleasing can become “comfort cardigans”
• Adam and Eve hiding from God in Genesis 3
• What the woman at the well teaches us about leaving our burdens behind
• Why the rich young ruler struggled to surrender
• The significance of Bartimaeus throwing off his cloak before he was healed
• Trusting God when you can’t see what’s ahead
• How to surrender what is hindering your relationship with God
• Hebrews 12:1 and the call to “throw off everything that hinders”

Ask yourself: What cardigan have you gotten so comfortable wearing that you’ve forgotten God never asked you to hide beneath it in the first place?

Scriptures mentioned: Genesis 3:6–10 John 4 Mark 10:17–22 Mark 10:46–52 Hebrews 12:1 Isaiah 61:10
