Allen and Stacy Jo explore the biblical call to die to self while still embracing the unique personality God designed in you. Surrendering to God’s plan isn’t about erasing your identity—it’s about aligning it with His purpose. Through personal stories, Scripture, and a touch of humor, they unpack how to serve from love instead of ego.

✅ In This Episode You’ll Discover:
✅ Why walking in the Spirit is more life-giving than living by the flesh (Romans 8:6, Galatians 2:20)
✅ How to set healthy boundaries like Jesus—saying “no” without guilt
✅ Ways to avoid the ditches of selfishness and burnout by rooting your identity in Christ
✅ How to serve from overflow rather than obligation
✅ The secret to letting love lead—no bragging, arrogance, or scorekeeping (1 Corinthians 13)

📖 Key Scriptures: Romans 8:6 • Galatians 2:20 • 1 Corinthians 13 • Matthew 16:24 • John 13:14–15

✨ Practical Takeaways:
✨ Invite the Holy Spirit into your daily schedule and decisions
✨ Check your motives—serve from a place of love, not performance
✨ Keep your boundaries firm, your heart soft, and your eyes fixed on Jesus

The truth is simple: dying to self doesn’t erase who you are—it makes you a clearer reflection of Christ to the world.
