We're trained from childhood to develop competence and strength, which serve us well in many aspects of life. Yet this same drive for self-sufficiency creates a dangerous illusion that we can handle life's challenges independently, neglecting our fundamental dependence on God.

James discovered God had different plans—teaching him the importance of receiving rather than always giving.

In this episode, they discuss…
