Release: Letting Go with Grace

Releasing what no longer serves you to make room for God's new vision

Key Scriptures

  1. Isaiah 43:18-19: "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!"
  2. Philippians 3:13-14: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead
  3. Luke 5:37-38: New wine requires new wineskins

What to Release

  1. Old commitments that no longer align with your vision
  2. Limiting beliefs about yourself
  3. Relationships that pull you away from your calling
  4. Old ways of doing things
  5. Past failures and regrets

The Release Inventory (3 Steps)

  1. Identify 3 things to release: Ask God what you're holding onto that doesn't belong in the next season
  2. Pray over each one: Thank God for what it taught you, ask Him for grace to let go
  3. Take one concrete action: Make a tangible step toward release this week

Key Insights

  1. Neuroscience of release: Your brain resists change but is adaptable—new choices create new neural pathways
  2. New wine, new wineskins: God's new thing requires new containers—old structures can't hold what's coming
  3. You can't receive the new while gripping the old: Release creates space for what God is doing next

Kim Gordon

Through my experience as a nurse, educator, sales director, business mentor and certified leadership coach, I've developed a deep desire to love people enough to help them reach their God-given potential. My superpower is in helping you identify how to get "unstuck" by clarifying what's NEXT and what's POSSIBLE, and by being your friend as you take action to get there. I love being a Jesus lover, wife, momma, spirtual momma, and dog mom. Fueled by coffee, grits, and chocolate.
