Control on Trial


Listen Later

We all want control—over our future, our circumstances, and the outcomes of our lives. But what if the very thing we’re chasing is the reason we feel anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck?

In this episode of Life on Trial, Pastor Nic unpacks Ecclesiastes and exposes the illusion of control. From shifting seasons to unpredictable outcomes, we’re reminded that life was never meant to be managed entirely by us.

This message explores what we actually can control, why surrender leads to peace, and how trusting God changes the way we navigate uncertainty. If you’ve been carrying the weight of trying to control everything—this one will help you let it go.

Life on Trial is a series walking through Ecclesiastes—challenging the way we view meaning, control, and purpose, and inviting us to live with a perspective rooted in God, not just what we can see.
