About this episode

The episode discusses how God guides us through unexpected changes in our plans, as illustrated by Paul's experiences in Acts 16.

Life rarely goes according to plan but Acts 16 reminds us that God is still accomplishing his purposes in the middle of unexpected turns. As Paul experienced conflict, closed doors, and surprising detours, God faithfully guided him toward opportunities he never could have planned. Because God is in control, we can trust him when our plans change and believe he is at work even when we can't yet see what he's doing.
