CFA (Control Freaks Anonymous)

ASK A QUESTION - TELL A STORY - CONNECT WITH US This week, Evan, Josh, Michael, and Paxton kick things off with plenty of laughs from VBS week, including church staff confessions about thermostat battles, driving preferences, dishwashing rules, and Josh's surprisingly controversial cake-cutting method. The conversation turns into a fun exploration of the little things people try to control and how those tendencies often reveal something deeper about the way we approach relationships and trust. The group then unpacks Paxton’s message, Given in Love, from the Altered series. They discuss why healthy love requires open hands, how fear often fuels control, and what it looks like to bless people rather than try to manage them. Along the way, they reflect on parenting, ministry relationships, difficult life transitions, and the challenge of trusting God with the people we care about most.
