Release to Rise: Letting Go and Trusting God with Your Season

In this episode of the Men After God podcast, Dustin Alley and Luke Sorensen dive deep into the power of letting go—of past pain, guilt, grudges, and even past successes that may be holding you back. Drawing from Ecclesiastes and other biblical principles, they challenge Christian men to evaluate what they may be clinging to that God is asking them to release.

Through honest conversation and real-life stories, Dustin and Luke explore how emotional clutter can block spiritual progress, and how embracing your current season—even if it's painful—can lead to growth, healing, and a deeper trust in God's plan.

You’ll be reminded that surrender is not weakness—it's an act of faith. Whether you're in a season of rebuilding, waiting, or healing, this episode will help you step forward with courage and clarity.

🧭 Key Takeaways:

✔️ Letting go is essential for growth
 ✔️ God's timing brings healing
 ✔️ Surrender makes room for transformation
 ✔️ Every season has purpose in God’s plan
