Episode description as stored
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 the name of "being responsible," we obsess over how to get everyone and every circumstance to line up with the outcome we think is best. 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.
