                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Some doors didn’t close because you were under attack.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; They closed because &lt;strong&gt;God ended it.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this episode of &lt;em&gt;Raising Legends: Tabletalk Sessions&lt;/em&gt;, we unpack the sacred courage it takes to stop resuscitating what God buried. Whether it’s an expired assignment, a one-sided relationship, or a season that’s outlived its grace—&lt;strong&gt;protecting what God ended delays what God is trying to begin.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let’s talk about:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Recognizing divine endings (vs. emotional ones)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How misplaced loyalty can block your legacy&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why courage is the doorway to release&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s not just about letting go—it’s about &lt;strong&gt;agreeing with Heaven.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎙️ Listen now, and unlearn the reflex to hold on out of fear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Your assignment is waiting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; www.irisleon.net&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; #TabletalkSessions #ReleaseSeason #LetItDieSoYouCanLive #PropheticCourage&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
