Is God Really in Control? Deconstructin...

Samantha & Spencer Robbins
About this episode

We've all heard that "God is in Control."  But is it true?

We've heard things like, "Everything happens for a reason," or "The Lord Givith and the Lord Taketh Away," and could it be that we misunderstand God's sovereignty?

We believe that beliefs like this dictate the way we do life, the lens through which we perceive people and life, and impacts our internal state, freedom, and purpose.

In this episode, Sammi and Spencer dialogue about their beliefs and invite you into a discussion about God being in control.

They also go through the many questions you guys have asked on her instagram poll and answer them live on the episode.

We hope you enjoy this week's episode.
