In / Without Control?

Control is something we naturally hold onto. We like to believe our lives are ours to direct, that we should be the ones deciding the pace, the path, and even the lessons we learn along the way. Even when someone warns us about the consequences of a choice, there is often something in us that still wants to find out for ourselves. But that instinct didn’t start with us. In this episode of The Zoe Life Podcast, we go back to the beginning, right to the garden in Genesis, where humanity was first given both freedom and instruction. Adam and Eve were created with the ability to choose, yet the moment the serpent introduced a twisted version of truth, the desire to take control became stronger than the trust they had in God’s guidance. It’s a story that still echoes in our lives today. From childhood moments where we resist discipline, to the ways we try to direct our own paths as adults, the tension between our will and God’s wisdom is something every person experiences. Today’s conversation draws on that struggle between living by the pull of our own nature and learning to trust the One who created us in the first place. Because sometimes the life we try so hard to control is actually the very thing God is trying to transform Enjoy this episode💛 Beat credit: Produced by Etta
