"Our need for control is evidence of our lack of faith." - Ramonita
"Sometimes we have to feel out of control in order to realize that God is in control." - Erin
In episode 6 of Season 2, we discuss the topic of control and how it affects our lives—and the struggles that come with seeking it. We explore the idea that our need for control stems from a desire for safety and security. We also reflect on our own experiences of wrestling with God's plans and the importance of faith in letting go of control. We touch on the concept of controlling the narrative and the impact of social media on our need for control. Throughout the conversation, we emphasize the importance of trusting in God's control and finding peace in surrendering to His plans—even when we do not understand them.
Key Takeaways:
* Our need for control is often rooted in a desire for safety and security.
* Wrestling with God's plans is a natural part of our faith journey, but ultimately, choosing obedience and surrender leads to growth and blessings.
* Trying to control the narrative or what others think of us is a futile effort that only leads to anxiety and insecurity.
* Trusting in God's control and letting go of our own need for control brings peace and freedom.
* Social media can exacerbate our need for control, but recognizing that we can't control others' perceptions or opinions is liberating.
