TAKE THE LID OFF: Trust God, Release the Pressure, and Find the Life He Wants for You on Sale September 5

His grandmother would remind him the only way to avoid an eruption is to remove the lid. Similarly, the only way to avoid an emotional overload is to take our own lids off—that is, to stop being trapped inside ourselves and instead look to God and his grace to show us the strategy for becoming all he intends us to be.
