It is hard to trust and fully surrender to God if we have a distorted view of Him. In this episode, John and Mark discuss the concept of God as Father. As Father, our life is in Him and He is both our protector and our provision. When we see God as "Abba," then we will not run from but to Him. As Father, God no longer deals with us as enemies, but as children. We can approach Him with boldness and in full assurance of faith. We see in our Father a tough love but love that's also tender.
