Episode Description from the Publisher

What happens when you are doing the right things, praying the right prayers, showing up faithfully, and still cannot control how the story ends?In Cup 10 of Grace in the Grind — Pot 2: The False Dream We Built On, Cody Hudson talks about the hard but necessary line between faithful obedience and trying to own the outcome. This episode presses into the tension many believers feel: we trust God theologically, but functionally we often live as if our faithfulness should guarantee our preferred result.Through Scripture from Proverbs 16, Luke 22, and James 4, this conversation looks at surrender, control, discipleship, parenting, planning, and what it means to obey God with open hands. Letting go of the outcome is not giving up. It is not passivity. It is learning to trust God with what only God can carry. The episode frames this around releasing the belief that “faithfulness entitles us to a specific ending” while still obeying, planning, loving, and showing up faithfully.If you have ever found yourself praying while still micromanaging, obeying while white-knuckling, or trying to make faithfulness produce guarantees, this cup is for you.Listen to Grace in the Grind: https://rss.com/podcasts/grace-in-the-grind-pod1/Arrow & Roots Coffee Co.: https://ArrowandRootsCoffeeCo.comCoffee Date — Arrow & Roots Coffee Co.: https://ArrowandRootsCoffeeCo.com/products/coffee-dateSupport Arrow & Roots / Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/ArrowandRootsCompanion Podcast for Parents — Coffee Break: Biblical Truth on Parenting: https://rss.com/podcasts/coffee-break-biblical-truth-on-parenting/Coffee Break on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coffee-break-biblical-truth-on-parenting/id1866463610Christ and His Church: A Biblical Study of the Nature, Mission, and Life of the Church: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GDFW8CN7RSS Podcast Hosting: https://rss.com/?via=ARCC
