Why We’re Desperate for Control | Romans 9

This episode

Romans 9 doesn’t offer easy answers. Paul points to something deeper instead — God’s wisdom and faithfulness even when his plans don’t look like what we expected. This episode wrestles with sovereignty, free will, suffering because of injustice, and what it means to release control to a God whose goodness you’re learning to trust. Mature content — death and sex trafficking work addressed with care.
