In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', listeners are taken on a journey through Romans 9:20-23, exploring the intriguing question of whether we are merely lumps of clay or if there's more to our existence. Colin Cook delves into the complexities of faith and salvation, questioning the notion of predestination and examining how God's mercy plays a role in our lives.
With a focus on the sovereignty of God, Cook challenges traditional views, suggesting that hardships and trials might be part of a divine plan to bring individuals to a deeper understanding of faith. Cook uses the analogy of a potter and clay to illustrate how God shapes lives, creating vessels for honour and dishonour.

Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own paths and consider how faith can guide them through life's trials. Cook's compassionate approach offers hope and reassurance that, despite life's difficulties, there is a purpose behind every struggle.

Cook's insights provide a fresh perspective on how God's grace can transform even the most broken aspects of our lives. So, if you're looking for a thought-provoking discussion on faith and life's journey, this episode might just offer the inspiration you need.
