Gathering 79: The Grand Illusion

Published: May 22, 2019, 2:30 a.m.

When your world is disrupted and rocked with uncertainty, what is your first reaction? Is it fear? Is it worry? Or do you simply accept your situation and surrender it to a higher power telling yourself “it’s God’s will”? After all, God is in control, right? For many Christians, that works. But what if that very notion that God is in control is simply an illusion? What if there is an alternative way of thinking about who’s in control of your situation? Sounds heretical doesn’t it? Could there possibly be another source of certainty and empowerment? Join Pastor Tony Minear, Ph.D. as he explores what a life lived in certainty can look like when you embrace the unknowns. Discover two sources that will inspire and help you to learn how to live as if God isn’t in control. It’s there, in that space, that you will truly find God and a life of certainty and faith that is free from worry, free from fear.
