Surrendering Your Expectations to God

from Water Into Wine · host Church of the Redeemer, Sarasota

In this episode of Water Into Wine, Father Charleston Wilson opens a bottle of Bordeaux and tackles expectations — the kind we name out loud and the deeper ones we barely admit to ourselves. He talks about why the promotion, purchase, or perfectly planned future rarely satisfies us the way we imagine it will and why that disappointment might actually point us somewhere better. With humor, Scripture, and a few stories from real life, this conversation gets honest about control, surrender, sadness, and the quiet work God does in seasons that feel unresolved. It is thoughtful, grounded, and surprisingly hopeful.   Timestamps: (00:00) Welcome to Water into Wine (01:05) Wine of the Day: 2020 Château Curton “la Perriere” Bordeaux, France (02:20) Why this wine for the topic of the day: expectations (03:25) Tasting notes (07:10) What are some common expectations?
