Episode Details

What are you carrying that God never asked you to carry?

In this closing message of the Name the Chain series, Pastor Chrissy Cole teaches on the chain of control and the fear underneath it. Control can sound like responsibility, protection, or wisdom, but it often reveals where we are struggling to trust God.

Through Proverbs 3 and the example of Jesus, this message invites us to surrender our fears, release what we cannot control, seek God before we lead, and trust Him with the outcome. The burden was never meant to crush you. Jesus offers rest, freedom, and a lighter way to live.
