I Aggressively Love Cruises

About this episode

The episode discusses trusting God amidst life's storms through a conversation on Acts 27.

This episode of AfterWords unpacks Acts 27 through a lively group conversation about cruises, storms, and what it means to trust God when life feels out of control. Alex is joined by Jordan, Tony, Hez, and James, and they explore how God’s sovereignty and human responsibility meet in the middle of suffering, and why Paul’s confidence rested not in calm circumstances but in God’s promises. The conversation moves from theology to pastoral wisdom, with thoughtful reflections on perseverance, community, and the passages each of them returns to for courage. It is a rich and surprisingly funny discussion about what it looks like to cling to what is true when the storm does not stop.
