About this episode

Rev. Dr. Wade Allen's sermon discusses trusting God amidst uncertainty, using Paul's experience in prison as a model.

Facing an uncertain future in prison, Paul models what it looks like to trust God when you don't know how things will turn out. This sermon explores the tension Paul holds between his own desires and God's purposes, calling the congregation to place Christ at the center of life and hold everything else with open hands.
