What happens when we find ourselves surrounded by chaos? Do we grab tighter for control, or is there another way forward?

This powerful episode of Connecting the Gap explores how our attempts to control our circumstances often lead us further from peace. Through the biblical story of Jacob—a man who spent his life grasping and manipulating—we discover the transformative power of surrender.

Our current cultural landscape reveals a society adrift from its moral foundations. Campus protests, political divisions, and ideological warfare dominate headlines, but beneath these surface conflicts lies a deeper spiritual crisis. We've traded humility for pride, truth for opinion, and grace for outrage. The consequences are evident in the confusion and chaos we witness daily.

The path back to stability isn't found in taking sides or winning arguments. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 7:14, we explore four essential steps for spiritual restoration: humbling ourselves, praying sincerely, seeking God's character, and turning from destructive paths. This process isn't about shame or judgment but about finding freedom and new life.

Jacob's wrestling match with God becomes a powerful metaphor for our own spiritual journeys. After a lifetime of striving, Jacob finally encountered the limits of his strength when God touched his hip, leaving him permanently altered. In that moment of surrender, Jacob received not just a blessing but a completely new identity.

Like Jacob, we discover that breakthrough comes through brokenness. We cannot become who God created us to be while clinging to our vision of who we should be. When we surrender control and seek God first, He begins the work of restoration—one heart at a time.

Join us as we continue our "Unshaken" series, learning how to stand firm in a culture of compromise by letting go of what we cannot control and embracing the One who holds all things together.
