What Does it Mean to Trust God? The Illusion of Control and the Promise of Presence.

from The Unintentional Heretic · host Greg Farrand

In this episode of The Unintentional Heretic, Greg explores the illusion of control, humanity’s deep evolutionary longing for certainty, and why Jesus consistently offers presence instead of predictable answers or guaranteed outcomes. Drawing from Scripture, philosophy, mysticism, and personal experiences of crisis and transformation, the episode reflects on how suffering, uncertainty, and even our wounds can become the very places where grace reshapes us into deeper compassion, courage, and Christlikeness.Would love to hear your thoughts!
