Should I Let Go and Let God? | The Writi...

Ten Minute Bible Talks
About this episode

Let go and let God. Jesus take the wheel. God's got this. These popular Christian sayings are founded on a good, true belief: God is in control. But these sayings might also be leading you into passivity instead of action. In today's episode, Jensen shares how Nehemiah 4 shows us that God empowers His people who trust in Him to help bring change in the world.
