Yes! Thank you! Repurposing is the next step after surrendering to God's will in it and is about inviting Jesus into it. The posture of surrendering can sometimes mean abdicating responsibility for our part in it.

I guess it all depends on how you view surrender. I can’t repurpose anything if I haven’t surrendered my will in that thing. Don’t get me wrong, I agree that to repurpose is more actionable than “Jesus take the wheel” I just think it’s more a both and than an either or. In my surrendered life I look for actionable ways to bring the kingdom through all areas of my life.

I love this. Surrendering has a negative stigma sometimes, so context and reframing it helps get people started!

People confuse surrender with being lazy
