This message explores what happens when life doesn’t go according to plan and how our instinct to grasp for control can pull us away from trusting God. Through a humorous but honest story about a disaster-filled student ministry trip and the biblical account of the Israelites forming a golden calf, Niko's message shows how fear and uncertainty often drive us back to familiar habits, false comforts, and “golden calves” of our own making – things we cling to for a sense of security. But God invites us to loosen our grip, release our illusions of control, and trust Him even when the path feels unclear.
