Are you prioritizing your perfect plan over God's disruptive purpose? Mary, the mother of Jesus, was faced with a catastrophic choice: protect her reputation or accept God's favor (which guaranteed social ruin).

In this powerful message from The Cast of Christmas series, Pastor Léonce Crump Jr. unpacks Luke 1:26-38 and challenges the Burden of Respectability that paralyzes successful leaders. He reveals that the only thing stopping your breakthrough is the calculated risk you refuse to take.

Discover the three steps of radical surrender that empower you to give your improbable "Yes," proving that your eternal destiny is worth more than your temporary public image.

In This Message, You Will Learn:

• Why God’s highest favor often leads to the greatest risk.

• The difference between social shame and divine favor.

• The ultimate source of power for impossible assignments (The Holy Spirit's overshadowing).

• The three active choices Mary made to unlock her destiny.
