Why does God's plan for your life seem like a mystery? Well, great question and the answer lies in the 80's film The Karate Kid. Join us as pastor Chris draws the connection between The Karate Kid -- wax on, wax off -- to our daily journey with God.

If God has planned our life, do we get a say so? The short answer: Yes and that's the purpose of today's podcast. God gives us Free Will to either follow His plan or we chart our own path. Either way, God extends His grace and mercy to us each and every day.

On today's podcast, pastor Chris answers the question: What is the meaning of God’s Will? And How does it relate to your life plan?
