About this episode
The episode discusses how both science and Jesus encourage us to trust rather than strive for control, using the metaphor of flowers.
Consider the Lilies Why science and God tell us the same thing about control Jesus famously tells us to be more like flowers, asking us to trust rather than toil. Remarkably, modern science is starting to come to the same conclusion.with Curtis Childs5/24/26 If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to Subscribe and review our podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
