S13 E2 | Are You Being Responsible or Trying to Control?
About this episode
This episode discusses the balance between being responsible and trying to control outcomes, emphasizing trust in God's plans.
If we are honest, sometimes we declare that our trust is in the Lord, but we simultaneously doubt His plans and frantically come up with our own.

In this episode, you will learn how to: Identify sneaky controlling tendencies that may be hiding behind good intentions. Plan for the future without obsessing over the future. Be responsible for what you can be responsible for, and ultimately surrender outcomes to God.
