Episode 194: Trusting God’s Sovereignty in Uncertain Times

Pull up a chair, grab your Bible, and join Dot and Cara as they explore the powerful truth of God’s sovereignty. What does it mean for God to be in control, even when we don’t get the outcome we were hoping for? In this conversation, Dot and Cara discuss how we can trust God with the big picture, like elections, leadership, and our personal lives. Wherever you find yourself this week, remember: God is on His throne, and He is in control.

Scripture Verse: Daniel 4:31-32 “While the word was in the king’s mouth, a voice came from heaven, saying, ‘King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared: sovereignty has been removed from you, and you will be driven away from mankind, and your dwelling place will be with the beasts of the field. You will be given grass to eat like cattle, and seven periods of time will pass over you until you recognize that the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes.’”
