When Letting Go Feels Risky: A Story of Identity, Pride, and Trust with Author Carolyn Jacobs
Posted in At This Table
What if the life you’re trying to escape… is only revealing a deeper struggle within your own heart?
In today’s episode, Host Shelly Brown sits down with author Carolyn Jacobs to talk about her novel, The Pride of Babylon, a richly layered story set in 1917 Mesopotamia that weaves together history, faith, and the deeper questions we all wrestle with.
At the center of the story is Ana, a young woman desperate to break free from a life shaped by expectations and control. But when she steps into the ancient world of Babylon, what she discovers isn’t just history, it’s a confrontation with her own heart.
In this episode with Carolyn Jacobs, we talk about:
- The inspiration behind this powerful story and its connection to the biblical world
- Why Babylon is more than just a setting … it’s a reflection of pride, control, and surrender
- How Ana’s journey mirrors the tension so many of us feel when we’re trying to hold it all together
- The role of faith, trust, and letting go when life doesn’t look the way we expected
- And the deeper invitation this story offers to anyone who feels stuck, uncertain, or searching
This isn’t just a conversation about a novel; it’s a conversation about what it means to trust God in the places where we’ve been holding on the tightest.
So, if you’ve ever wrestled with control, questioned your path, or longed for something more… this conversation is for you.
Pull up a chair… you’re always welcome at the table.
