When Control Breaks… God Becomes Your Safe Place | Emily Copeland

What if the place you’re trying to escape… is where God wants to meet you?

A lot of people hit a moment in life where what they’ve been holding together… just starts to fall apart.

Maybe things didn’t turn out the way they thought they would.

Maybe they’re tired of trying to keep everything in control.

Maybe they’re wondering where God even is in the middle of it.

In this episode of Out of Focus, Shannon Stewart sits down with Emily Copeland for an honest, real, and deeply needed conversation.

Emily shares how modeling slowly shaped the way she saw her body, her worth, and her need for approval… and how that constant pressure to measure up left her exhausted.

This episode speaks directly to the quiet struggle so many women carry—the feeling of never quite measuring up.

Emily also opens up about a season she never would have chosen—a painful and confusing time that felt like a desert.

She was hurt.

She was angry.

And she didn’t understand what God was doing.

But instead of walking away… she opened her Bible.

And what she found wasn’t what she expected.

God met her there.

Not after everything was fixed.

Not when she had it all together.

Right there in the middle of it.

In this conversation, they talk about:

• performance-based faith and striving
• the pressure to “get it right”
• the illusion of control
• what to do when you feel angry at God
• and how surrender leads to real peace

This episode is for anyone who feels tired, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to trust God in a difficult season.

Surrender might feel like losing control…but it’s actually where peace begins.

"Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." - Matthew 11:28
