The Michelle Chalfant Show — Life from the Adult Chair 335: The Magic of Surrender with Kute Blackson
Kute Blackson is no stranger to miracles. Growing up the son of a spiritual leader in Ghana, Africa, Kute witnessed healings and transformation that were nothing short of awe-inspiring.
But when he realized it wasn’t his calling to take over his father’s ministry in the way his family expected, it led him on a challenging and transformational journey of his own: one in which he discovered the magic of surrender and how it can heal our lives.
In this episode, Kute delivers so much wisdom about what surrender really is (it’s not passive like you might think ), the role of the ego in our lives, why the challenges we face are an essential part of our soul’s journey and how to let go and live open to the possibilities – the miracles – life holds for us.
Listen to discover: ● Kute’s story of courageously following his calling even in the face of adversity ● Why challenging experiences are essential to our soul’s growth ● What surrender actually is and why it’s so powerful ● How to tell when we’re in the flow ● What to do when you feel stuck and are struggling to surrender ● Where resistance comes from ● Why surrender requires grieving what we think we know and how it opens us up to more love and joy
Each of us is here with a purpose, and even the difficult moments in our lives hold something important for our growth. When we can relinquish control and what we think our lives should look like, we discover that there are divine possibilities beyond what our mind can even think of or dream up…and what a truly exciting, miraculous journey that is!
